“Invitation To Hell” (1984), Wes Craven moonlighting gig
Wes Craven, creator of Nightmare on Elm Street, and Scream directed this '80's science fiction horror film for television. The money must have been right. The movie is a clear cut example of good folk versus evil folk and it has a somewhat annoying 1980's sheen to it. Robert Urich relocates his family to his new work site and residence. It turns out that the influencers in the community all belong to a fashionable country club. Low and behold, the country club harbors a malignant force that guarantees success or failure in the suburban, gated community that the family moves to. Play Satan's game or pay, essentially.
The science fiction element to this melodramatic farce includes a space suit Urich is working on that can detect non human life forms and withstand extreme temperatures. See where this is leading to? It is also equipped with a powerful laser weapon. Unfortunately, it is not used enough in the bizarro conclusion to this film. It has to be seen to be believed. Brings back memories of "House of Evil" (1978).
Good time waster, I guess. Craven cashed out bigtime!
