恐怖侵入

Invasion of the Pod People (released in some countries as Invasion: The Beginning) is a 2007 science-fiction film produced by The Asylum.


　　Like several other films by The Asylum, Invasion of the Pod People is a mockbuster whose release coincided with the premiere of The Invasion, although the plot of Pod People borrowed heavily from the 1956 film Invasion of the Body Snatchers, of which The Invasion is a reworking.


　　The film is about Melissa (Erica Roby), a young woman living in Los Angeles, who works for a large corporation.


　　One night, there is a freak meteor shower. The next morning, Melissa goes about her day but as time passes, slowly becomes aware that those around her have changed since the meteorites fell. It's as if their minds are no longer their own. For example, Melissa's supervisor Samantha seduces her into a passionate lesbian encounter, even though Samantha had never shown any signs of being a lesbian.


　　Melissa soon realizes that the townsfolk have been replaced by a race of aliens known as Pod People. The aliens grow in large seed pods and gradually take the form of a particular person, eventually taking over their bodies once the growth process is complete. The Pod People try to take control of Melissa, but she flees the town to warn humanity of the invasion in progress.

本片是The Asylum出品的一部低成本科幻恐怖题材电影。影片借鉴了被多次翻拍成电影的科幻小说《天外魔花/人体入侵者》的故事和设定，片中，一种外形酷似生姜的外星植物，能够复制人类，主角们试图阻止外星入侵者和复制人的阴谋。但影片的故事节奏很快，且充斥着许多成人电影式的桥段，观感很差。
