The Mind Snatchers Reviews:
if you liked Arlington Road...
2008-05-30 - Like ARLINGTON ROAD (1999), this film is very disturbing b/c it deals with a very real situation and doesn't have a positive ending. Ethically, I don't think films like this SHOULD end positively, b/c you're likely to think "everything's OK", and thus no lesson is learned, and no action will be taken to keep stuff like this from happening. The viewer is left comforted and pampered and those feelings are not what are needed to think "wow, I sure don't want THAT to happen..."...

I saw this on VHS around 1998, I wasn't even 16 yet. The transfer was very poor, but it had a typical 70's low budget look to it and was well acted, which isn't too surprising, since Christopher Walken IS a good actor...this was one of his first roles, I believe (although not THE first, as you can find out by looking at the cast index in any volume of VIDEOHOUND).

The film WAS rated PG, although that may have changed since the VHS pressing I rented, but if you stumble upon a PG "version", let it be known that is far from a kid's film...it's not gory or anything, but if you let your kids watch this, they'll probably want to leave the room not long after it starts anyway. Of course, it's always wise to be there for your kids if they're watching a film, that way they don't end up getting ideas in their heads that aren't factual based on a film they say...of course, if you don't know that, you probably aren't even reading this, but anyway...

Should be 0 stars
2004-11-22 - This movie is terrible. You can barely hear what they are saying and it will bore the hell out of you. Turned off before end.

A five - if you're watching for Christopher Walken..........
2003-09-07 - Not a great film - good ideas, but it should either have either been expanded or stripped down to a BBC TV play. Joss Ackland and Ronny Cox both give the expected quality performances as the misguided scientist and the terminal cancer patient who is given ecstasy (with a small e) as the way out of personality problems. But the reason you'll buy this DVD is the young Christopher Walken. ... Combine this performance with that in the Anderson Tapes and it is easy to see why he could have been up for Han Solo or the lead in Love Story. Charisma, intelligence, phwoaar and acting ability. He makes it all look so easy.........
