I really don't like classic horror movies, so I avoided this movie for a long time. I was both surprised and disappointed by this movie.
It is a good movie. It has a very interesting premise. It has good pace and even the background score was not too overbearing. Most of the complaints which I have with classic horror movies.
But I think they could have done a much better job. Kevin McCarthy as the lead lacks the charisma or acting ability that this role required. The biggest problem for me was that when the humans are being replaced I was expecting the replacements to be eerie. Sadly that was not the case. I wanted to the feel the horror that the characters felt when their loved ones were replaced but that never happened.
