The Puppet Masters (1994), starring Donald Sutherland, Eric Thal, Julie Warner, Keith David, and Will Patton. The release will be available for purchase on December 4.
Synopsis: An alien spacecraft sets down in rural Iowa, and top-secret government agents Andrew Nivens (Donald Sutherland) and his son, Sam (Eric Thal), are sent to investigate. Coming along is NASA biologist Mary Sefton (Julie Warner), and together they make a startling discovery: alien parasites capable of taking over the minds of human beings.
