Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956)
A Classic Must Watch!
For 1956 this movie is amazing, it still holds up today, best watched in the black and white version,
Positives - The ending is classic with a steady pace leading up to it, has very good horror elements with fantastic acting from the main two leads,
Negatives - The villains could have explored with more time spent with the aliens, perhaps even a leader could have been introduced for the audience to get behind, the secondary characters also have very little screen time resulting in them not being as exciting as the main two leads,
In conclusion this has been remade around 3 or 4 times but the classic is still the best, definitely a must watch for any sci-fi movie fan.
What Waits Below (1984)
A Hard Watch
Many reviews have listed this as an underrated B movie but even that is too generous. An overall weak movie that has very little positives to note
Negatives - Slow pace, bad acting and disappointing story make this movie a hard watch. Classed as a horror with an 18 rating but really isn't scary, if anything you might find it funny because it's that bad
Positives - It has an interesting concept but the movie never really achieves its potential
In summary, give this a miss, there are much better movies from 1984 to watch.
The Time Travelers (1964)
A solid B movie
Overall not a bad movie with elements of other films from that era such as the original planet of the apes and the original time machine but does lack in some areas compared to classics of that time
Negatives - Does have a slow pace start and takes around 20 minutes to get interesting with the acting not being top tier
Positives - An interesting sci-fi concept with an interesting execution, good use of set pieces and costumes that overall make it a solid B movie
If you like sci-fi movies of the 60s, definitely check this one out.
