If Invasion of the Body Snatchers hit the spot, these will too

Cerebral where it counts, dread-soaked underneath

Both lean on unease more than on science fiction

Common ground in both: alien and alien invasion
The difference: Played as thriller first

Horror with a pulse of ideas, in both cases

Both are built on the same subject: alien
The difference: The critics' underdog of the pair

The same preoccupation in both: alien invasion
The difference: Leans further into drama

Science fiction built on dread, twice over

Unsettling horror, and it commits to that
The difference: 46 years apart, and the 1930s show

Cerebral science fiction in both cases

Horror built on dread, twice over

A streak of unease through both

Cut from the same science fiction cloth
