The Pod People work together to secretly spread more pods ? which grew from "seeds drifting through space for years" ? in order to replace the entire human race. ... The film climaxes with Bennell and Driscoll attempting to escape the Pod People, intending to warn the rest of humanity. They hide; Driscoll fights an overwhelming urge to sleep, but when she briefly drifts away, she is instantly subverted, becoming one of the Pod People. With the Pod People close behind, a seemingly crazed Bennell runs onto the highway frantically screaming about the alien force which has overrun Santa Mira to the passing motorists and (in a moment that is considered a breaking of the Fourth Wall) looks into the camera and yells, "THEY'RE HERE ALREADY! YOU'RE NEXT! YOU'RE NEXT!" Caps mine.
