The 27 greatest horror movies of all time – Looper

The very definition of a time-worn tale in cinema, Invasion of the Body Snatchers is a story that has been remade over and over again. Partly, this speaks to the strength of the premise the feeling of being overwhelmed, of helplessness, the feeling of no one believing you after everyone around you is inexplicably replaced by evil duplicates. These are scary concepts in real life, and they're put to brilliant use in the late '70s version of the story, which remains the best. It begins at a slow burn, with only some weird sightings in the sides of the frame one weirdo here, one out of place look there. But by the midway mark, the movie becomes a full-on non-stop chase sequence in which no one can be trusted, following our heroes as they try to stay awake, and stay alive, against an organized and seemingly unstoppable threat. Thrilling to the final frame, it's a story that stays with you, anchored by an excellent cast that includes Donald Sutherland, Brooke Adams, Leonard Nimoy, and a young Jeff Goldblum. They're smart, unique characters that you root for, making it hurt all the more when they fail. It's the best and most entertaining version of a timeless and resonant story.
