One of the things that I love about the various performances of this story is that each script is just a little bit different.
Yes, and the style as well! HJB really dials up the visceral but anxious disgust like only he can.
I also like this 2012 version's uber-clinical interrogation, and the way this live action one both dials up the banal grossness of our meatness, as well as makes the aliens less relateable without losing the overall tone (I see hints of Marc Evan Jackson in it).
I absolutely love the OG version, it is by far my favorite one.
OMG on that 2012 one, the woman's light upper midwest accent, that gets more noticeable when she gets agitated - it's so good.
The live action version you posted is the gold standard! The actors are so out of place, literally and figuratively alien.
