In 1956, I watched the Invasion of the Body Snatchers and it scared me to death.
The newer version has where the characters must fight for survival as the population of San Francisco is systematically cloned by alien "pods" from a distant, dying planet. The atmosphere of dread and paranoia grows increasingly intense as the complexity of the alien invasion is gradually revealed, until nobody can be trusted to be who they appear.
In the later 70's version filmy spores fall from space and take root in San Francisco and the city is beautifully transformed by spectacular and exotic flowers. But these lovely extraterrestrial blossoms have gruesome plans for their earthly admirers: to slowly clone their bodies and then dispose of the originals! Time to sleep.. everyone has to sleep. The usurpers of bodies were usurping identities. Alien Beings able to take on the exact structure of a human being, eliminating the original one, to take its place. Extraterrestrial spies, with the most perverse of intentions.
Type of invader: Sigilosos, Machiavellian. In its orginal form they are esporas, that is transformed into cases (near the rest places) at the moment that begins the duplication of the individual. Only when one sleeps are they vulnerbable, but the human body to die does not feel anything as it becomes dust.
