`Body Snatchers (10) Fear as Catharsis














In other words, fear has the making of a gripping novel.  Fear is storytelling around a campfire in pitch dark, and nothing quite like it seems to thrill adults and children alike.  Fear is a cathartic narrative.

Note: In the DVD for `The Invasion (2007), the fourth film adaptation of the classic Jack Finney novel `The Body SnatchersWe've Been Snatched Before is a feature program.  I couldn't find an upload of it on YouTube, so the next best thing, I thought, was to capture this thought-provoking program via the foregoing screen shots.
