Assimilate

Assimilate is a 2019 science fiction horror film. It'll remind you of Invasion of the Body Snatchers. I watched it on Netflix, but it's not there now. It's available free on Roku, Tubi, or on Amazon Prime free with ads through Freevee.

trailer:



Heaven of Horror says it "works really well". Culture Crypt concludes by calling it "a fine contemporary remake of “Body Snatchers” that’s highly accessible for young adult audiences."

    I did see the original Body Snatchers but I think I'd pass. The few "horror" movies I've seen were mostly the old black and whites on TV when I was a kid. They were different back in the day, I think. Funnier (to me, anyways) and less gruesome, I guess. ;)

      Those old monster movies were shocking in their day. We need to find you some modern horror that's not gruesome :)

      I like the more psychological thrillers. ;)

      Yes, those are _much_ less likely to have so much gore. And they can be more subtle in their storytelling.

    Not all that promising, but it will give me a chance to visit and use my Roku.

      I've been surprised by how much is on Roku, including how many channels I can add that offer free movies. You can pick a genre in the search on Roku and take your pick. It's really amazing!

    Hmmm. I wonder if I thought I was commenting on this when I did another comment... I said I'd give this one a pass. And I would. But now I wonder where I wrote that! I'm still concussed.

      I had a fall that left me concussed, though I didn't have near the injuries you did. I got better gradually. But you were right about the comment :)
