Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978, 4K Restoration)

To celebrate the debut of the Roxie’s new 4K projector, screen, and masking, we’re bringing one of the most chilling films ever shot in San Francisco back to the big screen, restored from a 4K scan of the original camera negative, approved and color graded by director Philip Kaufman.

In this haunting 1978 adaptation of Jack Finney’s classic novel, health inspector Matthew Bennell (Donald Sutherland) begins noticing unsettling changes in the people around him. With the help of Elizabeth (Brooke Adams), Jack (Jeff Goldblum), and psychiatrist Dr. Kibner (Leonard Nimoy), he slowly uncovers a terrifying truth spreading through the city.

A gripping sci-fi thriller and one of the greatest remakes ever made, Invasion of the Body Snatchers captures the creeping paranoia of urban life and the fear of losing what makes us human.
