Assimilate

It seems to me that when I am set up to believe a movie is probably going to be a not-so-great experience, I wind up liking it. Conversely, when reviewers rave about a movie, a lot of times I am disappointed. This is one of those movies where I wound up liking it in spite of the bad reviews. I was on the edge of my chair for much of the movie.

Yes, it was a remake of the pod people movies, but with some different twists. Just like with the endless iterations of zombie and vampire movies, it's a formula that works over and over again. ...Another guilty pleasure!

I think a lot of the other reviews are looking at how this is like the 6th time this type of movie has been remade. It is the 5th or 6th time, but it is actually pretty good. They should have done more character building, because you really don't get too attached to most of the characters. I wish they would have used Cam Gigandet more in this movie, I think he was the best part of it.

If you have seen one Invasion of the Body Snatchers movie, you have seen this one, but this one does have a few things different and I liked the twist at the end. If you enjoy horror movies, you will enjoy this one. It even has a little bit of found footage stuff in it, which I personally like.

There is absolutely nothing new or memorable about this movie whatsoever. That's not saying that it's horrible or unwatchable, just completely forgettable. The story has obviously been done before and in much better fashion. The overall production of the film is average at best and doesn't necessarily drag the film down, but is not going to win any awards either. Overall it's just lackluster and kinda boring. 4/10

This is actually a great film!!! So I have no idea why the rating is so low on here and why some people have given this a 1 out of 10, this is most definitely a 7!

It's a suspenseful film with unexpected twists and the acting's good, so what's the problem with this film then?

Apparently this film reminds some people of another, similar film. So what? You gotta get your inspiration somewhere, that doesn't make this a bad film.

And I liked the open ending, I'm hoping they'll make a sequel ;-)

It's basically Invasion of the Body Snatchers, but it's well done. Acting is good. I liked it since it had that classic teen horror feel to it. They missed a chance or two to make things truly horrific, but in general it was a good watch.
