And you can wait a Little sex a lot of violence and Slimy leeches that subvert your will by spearing your cerebral cortex with razor Sharp tentacles. What More could you ask for in a Sci ence fiction movie admittedly this recounting of Sci i icon Robert Heinlein s 1951 novel is often confusing and arguably More Gross than scary. And after so much time the original Story s satiric fake on communist hysteria and the perils of nonconformity in the Mccarthy Era has a been there seen that feel. The film s retread flavor is especially evident when it s stacked against the three big screen versions of Jack Fin Ney s classic 1954 Book invasion of the body snatchers which explored similar themes. It does t help that the Pup pet masters liberally borrows elements from the body snatchers films As Well As other landmarks such As the alien series. / -. But fans of the genre and i count myself proudly among them will still get jolts from the cheesy Way out Spe Cial effects and another dependably Kooky performance from Donald Sutherland who also starred in the Sec Ond of the body sri etchers films in 1978. Neophyte director Stuart Orme and three unknown writers Ted Elliot Terry Rossio and David buyer Jetti son the political undertones of Hein Lein s Story to go straight for the goo. Most of said god is concentrated in a Small Iowa town whose inhabitants Are caught in the grip of Yucky alien Para Sites that look like a genetic Cross be tween a Stingray a Garden slug and an Anteater Only less attractive. They Latch onto their hosts backs Burrow in those tentacles and sap their victims of memory sexual feelings and All other vestiges of personality. Andrew Nivens Sutherland the Gruff director of the office of scientific intelligence rushes to the town on a Mission to keep the parasites from propagating and taking Over the world. He s accompanied by his estranged son Sam Eric thaia studly Osi agent and Mary Sefton Julie Warnera cute Nasa exo biologist. They eventually discover a hive like entity with a collective consciousness meaning that All the Little parasites Are parts of a single organism. They also find that the victims of these creatures can survive their experience although the psychological aftershocks can be distressing. The Mission becomes one of finding and taking out the main alien hive be fore humanity is overrun. When they pinpoint the site in Des Moines Iowa Sam and a fellow Osi agent Keith David Parachute in. Their task is complicated by the fact that Mary is inside the hive with a creature on her neck. The whole thing has a movie written All Over it what with the overacting Low rent effects and plot twists that defy logic. In the midst of the crisis for example Sam and Mary take time out to steal Back to his place for a Little Hanky Panky. Another murky subplot has the aliens targeting the president of the United states who is visiting Iowa for some unspecified reason. Still a movies can be a Hoot if you approach them with the right attitude. With Sutherland at the Helm and a few neat cameos Yaphet kotto As the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff the puppet masters offers Sci i fans equal amounts of thrills and laughs.
