1978 was a year for some brilliant horror films, but which one is your favourite? What makes it special to you? When did you first see it? Would you recommend it to the uninitiated?
Sometimes it's a hard decision to just pick one film (even when you're limiting it to a single year!), but my favourite film of 1978 is...
Invasion of the Body Snatchers - Philip Kaufman
My favourite version of the oft-recounted tale of alien take over and body stealing, this is sci-fi horror gold. The casting is spot on, and the interpretation of the original 'body snatcher' story is very well constructed.
