Seedpeople (1992)

Geologist Tom Barnes heads to the small town of Comet Valley and arrives right before they close the only bridge into town, making him conveniently trapped there.  He's come back to his hometown to investigate comet sightings and stays at a bed and breakfast owned by his ex-girlfriend, much to the chagrin of her current boyfriend, the sheriff.

The ex-girlfriends niece is convinced something has happened to the housekeeper who is acting strange. In fact, a lot of people in town are starting to act a bit strange.  So it's too bad no one listened to the teenage niece since soon more and more people are infected by seeds which takeover their bodies.

So we've got a plot right out of Invasion of the Body Snatchers.  Also the aliens seem to be based on the movie Critters. They've got big pointy teeth and their bodies roll up into a ball of fur that goes chasing after people.  This is a Charles Band / Full Moon movie so you know what you're getting.  I'm not a Full Moon fan, but this is okay. It's not great, but it's better than some of his other stuff.
