Synopsis:

Filmy spores fall from space over San Francisco, and the city blossoms with beautiful new flora. People take the flowers home but, as they sleep, the plants creep over them, devouring their bodies and stealing their identities – everything except their emotions… their uniqueness… their souls. Suddenly the city is full of people complaining that someone close to them has changed…

Directed by Philip Kaufman, with chilling special effects, the film ends with the single most horrifying frame in movies, which literally curdles your blood, and makes your hair stand on end!
