Invasion of the Body Snatchers
This movie began with a woman, Elizabeth Driscoll, finding a mysterious pink flower, which she determines to be a grex, which forms when two species cross-pollinate. The next morning, Elizabeth’s significant other, Geoffrey, begins to act very different than usual, as if he is missing emotions and feelings.

While they find temporary safety hiding in their work office, they are eventually caught by David and Geoffrey, who tell them that they will be born again, into a world with no anxiety, fear, or hate. Fortunately, Matthew is able to overcome the attackers, and he and Elizabeth, who has declared her love for him, attempt to flee once again. A pleasant tune begins to play, and Matthew goes to explore the ships that have just arrived, leaving Elizabeth in a nearby field. When he returns, he finds that she has fallen asleep and her body has been duplicated. He then goes...
