A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

What on earth did I just watch? It cannot be called a motion picture. How did this abortion get released? Who are the "actors"? Did they ever take actual acting lessons? Why the gratuitous ridiculous nudity? Well, actually, I suppose it was an attempt to make up for the total lack of quality and thought in every single other aspect of this horrid thing. And why is the film green? Don't bother to run this DVD even if it's given to you free. 0/10.

After a meteor shower in California, Melissa feels that her co-workers and her boss Samantha that work in the agency owned by Vickland are acting differently after receiving a weird plant.This film has terrible sound, weak visuals, abysmal acting. I cannot even say there was any direction involved. As for the story, how do the writers sleep at night claiming they wrote this? The story was already written (a few times)... all they had to do was steal the credit.This sinks even below the low standards that The Asylum usually holds itself to. Rather than be released, it should have been just been erased and burned in a bonfire. They could not even do the soft-core scenes right (of which there are far too many).

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

This is Asylum's most stylish movie so far but the coloring is just a little too stale, near the end the main actress looks greenish. The filming or editing here is too episodic instead of linear or continuous. Every scene is faded in and out. I'm not crazy about the excessive close-up shots. With a cast this attractive and dressed this nice, fully body shots would help. The sound, too, is improved except in outdoor shots where the wind gets in the way or in some rooms where the HVAC is noisy. The story itself is somewhat abbreviated, which is surprising. Some Asylum movies make up for the lack of effects with a solid script. We don't get enough time with the cast to get to know them or get to like them, which makes us indifferent to their fate. The ending is somewhat surprising but again, we are missing story here that would shed some light on the pod beings. In turn, the effect of such a bare bones script is that it ads a feel of strangeness to the movie which fits well with the idea of alien creatures. I take it they had little budget so there is no entire transformation scene. There should have been at least one, preferable with a nude female emerging from her plant. The one similar scene has no nudity though! While there is some mild nudity here and an all-girl threesome, it's nothing too explicit or shocking, as some reviewers here claim whose standard of "decency" is apparently Disney approved or they've never seen "music" videos. In fact, the erotic scenes lack some eroticism as if the director doesn't appreciate what he could have done or is just not interested in such things and is trying to get it over with. I appreciate Asylum including more nudity in their movies, it makes these movies more enjoyable, and after all they are a B-movie company. The cast does a good job here. Erica Roby is excellent as always and it's a pleasure to see her- she's such a beauty. There is also some good acting by the supporting cast. This movie should have deserved more money, time and effort by Asylum. It's still a very enjoyable little flick.
