Origin question - the 'host' idea
for the very educated horror fans - can anyone tell me if the whole 'worm alien using human bodies as hosts' idea is original for 'hidden' or was it used in the past ? can anyone help ? has anyone seen a similar idea in any earlier horror films ?
'invasion of the body snatchers' looks vaguely similar - right there, the aliens made clones after humans that got to 'replace' the 'originals' after falling asleep; but the premise was similar in the respect that the guy sitting next to you is not really the one you know, and this created a lot of paranoia.
