Nada (Roddy Piper), a wanderer without meaning in his life, discovers a pair of sunglasses capable of showing the world the way it truly is. As he walks the streets of Los Angeles, Nada notices that both the media and the government are comprised of subliminal messages meant to keep the population subdued, and that most of the social elite are skull-faced aliens bent on world domination. With this shocking discovery, Nada fights to free humanity from the mind-controlling aliens.

This remake of the classic horror film is set in San Francisco. Matthew Bennell (Donald Sutherland) assumes that when a friend (Brooke Adams) complains of her husband's strange mood, it's a marital issue. However, he begins to worry as more people report similar observations. His concern is confirmed when writer Jack Bellicec (Jeff Goldblum) and his wife (Veronica Cartwright) discover a mutated corpse. Besieged by an invisible enemy, Bennell must work quickly before the city is consumed.

I felt right at home! how was it? care to share some insight? 🖤I accidentally rented the wrong version and it started in black and white. I was immediately at easy because I like films noir and this looked just like one of them. Also, you know you are not going to be terrified by the special effects ... because they had none in 56! The dialogue was fast paced and clearly from a different time but the fifties were happy times. America was on a roll and the settings of a happy California town made it impossible for me to believe something bad was ever going to happen. I loved the idea that the doctor was calling the phone operator to get him the line to Sacramento to talk to the government for an urgent matter. Yep, other times!Azu liked the 79 version. I may wear the grown up pants for a couple of hours and try that one too....When I was 15 I entered a cinema in Venice and watched a silent black and white movie. It had subtitles in English. It was a mix of supernatural and mystery mixed together, but you only realized that at the last scene of the movie when the characters woke up from a dream only to realize that it possibly wasn't just a dream. I don't know the title but I have been searching for it all my life. I can't even remember if it was set in England or the US. What a useless kid I must have been!!

hahaha okay because of your entertaining remark, i am now watching the 50's version 😃

Haha, just nasty, 😂💀. ME! 🙋‍♀️well alot of old movies don't make sense and so passé like rebecca, the feminazis of today hate it lol! i bet the stuff smells reallyyyy good 'coz that's the only reason why i would taste it haha i remember i tried to bite those sweet-smelling fruit pencil erasers in grade school! :D I’m all for the 5 second rule when it’s my food I drop onto a floor I know and am familiar with but just not any floor or ground…..but you’re right, maybe it smelled like cotton candy or roasted marshmallows or fresh baked cookies. That would be very tempting. 😆

because of inflation they extend it to 10 seconds! food is food nom nom 😋😁

Just watched the stuff, it's great to see what Ben Stone was up to before he turned Executive Assistant District Attorney.
