Ok … this was the first 'X' certificate film I saw at the cinema - I was 15 years old in '78 and my older sister snuck me in. Fell in love with Brooke Adams and followed her career after. I’ve owned this film on ALL formats because of the nostalgia (plus it’s a cracking film) and Brooke 🥰 and have Kino Lorber's 4K as well as Arrow's. Arrow's release is slightly better than Kino's btw. Really pleased you like it also … and probably like Brooke too 😊
I never saw an X rated film in the cinema. The first 18 I saw in the cinema was Kill Bill. Surprised Body Snatchers was X rated, didn't think the content was that strong. I don't know much about the rating system in the 70s though.
Yeah, different time, different sensibilities. I remember clearly, being nervous as I watched, just how horrific was it going to be? Turned out, it was more of a mind horror to a 15 year old - the pods doing their thing was icky, rather than horrifying. However, the societal change in the film, stayed in the mind … and the superb end shot. Remember, there were no home video systems so, I had some serious bragging points in school, the next week - I’d seen an X rated horror movie!
Hi mate. An amazing film I've watched years and years ago, but it terrified me so much that I've never watched it since. I suppose if you twist my arm it can go on the shopping list.... Have you seen the recent 4K release of The Keep? I'm umming and aaaahring whether to get it or not. Don't know if that is your sort of film? Take care bud.

I haven't heard of The Keep, will look into it.
