Spend less money on a nice dresses, annoyingly distracting jangly car origami, replica guns, bad make up and spend more money on a decent microphone, better lighting, better dialog, continuity, lozenges for the cast member that kept coughing during 2 girls chatting in an office ... oh and what the Hell was that office space? Cheap rent for working in the sewer?I reserve the rating of "1" for those truly worthy of the rating. This film was so bad it doesn't even deserve to win a VERY WORSE award!!!It's a real shame that the cast and crew were all invaded by Pod People before making this film, otherwise it could probably had made a rating of "3".Is it true that ginger is an aphrodisiac???

Invasion of the Pod People (2007) ** (out of 4) The Asylum's "mockbuster" is a take on THE INVASION with Nicole Kidman, which of course was a remake of INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS. In the story a meteor hits the Earth and soon afterwards a woman begins to realize that everyone around here is acting weird. If you're seen the previous movies then you know what's going on. If you don't know the story then I'd recommend to stop reading this and go check out the original film with Kevin McCarthy. A lot of people attack The Asylum for their really bad movies that are usually void of any talent or imagination. I really understand because they've made some awful movies but there are times where I find their "work" to be interesting simply because as a film fan I'm interested in seeing their take on a familiar piece of work. Yes, they could try doing something "original" but why should they when these things keep making them money? This film works "best" the same way their I AM OMEGA did and that's that the source material is simply so good that it's hard to mess it up too bad. Yes, this film has an ultra cheap budget and yes the story is a rip-off and yes the performances aren't that good but I think the central story is interesting enough to where the film kept me slightly entertained in a cheap, "B" movie way. There are some updated elements here, which are pretty funny and the biggest seems to be the fact that the female pop people all turn into lesbians. This here leads to some rather erotic sex scenes where new women are "taught" new things. Again, this movie is cheap on every level so it's clearly just going to be for those looking for some very light entertainment. I think this type of thing slightly worked for me because I enjoy bad movies and I can't help but compare this to the countless rip-offs that hit drive-ins after the original INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS was released.

Invasion of the 'Pod' People=utterly stupid garbage, with a confusing ending, but keep you entertained when the aliens start showing up and brainwashing people to change their personality.Melissa believes something has come over her co-workers and boss. After a meteor crashes in California, aliens take over people bodies, and the alien trans-morphs their skin into there body, with their voice, and the people are forced to fight against the clones--even their clones! Okay, only the girls who plays Melissa, Samantha, and Billie, and the model are the only ones who actually put on a decent performances, the rest act like they were pulled of the street and given the script and the director says 'you're a woman/Man who has no acting experience, so here's the script you have six minutes to memorize this, and mess up your lines. Good luck.' Then then after that, they mess up, and they only have five minutes left of shooting the film so the director cuts out scenes of a 3re hour movie to an eighty minute one, and the director leaves in the scenes with the screwed up lines! Hilarious movie.10/10 stars

Invasion.Of.The.Pod.People should not make it to DVD. The plot has major problems, the script couldn't get a D- in a high school film class, the camera had the finesse of a single chopstick, direction was completely absent, and the costumes made our heroine look like she just entered the third trimester. The dramatic tension came only from knowing it wasn't over yet. The effects consisted of a ginger root in a flower pot. This is not a B movie, there is not one redeeming feature in this work, even the titillation, that started halfway through, was not erotic and the actress giving cunnilingus may have been asleep during filming. I could go on, but please don't watch this film. It could made you feel like a pod.
