Review – Invasion

The human race in danger from a microorganism from outer space that works like an infection that takes over our bodies and turns us into aliens? Yes folks, here’s a TV dinner version of The Thing with a hearty dose of Robin Cook’s medical mumbo-jumbo thrown in for good measure.

And the effects aren’t especially special. That aside, I suppose I’ve seen worse. Mildly amusing
