It may be directed by Wes Craven of Nightmare On Elm Street fame, but this is a more interesting movie that a frightening one. Shades of Stepford Wives abound, only this time, instead of becoming perfect people, the new members of this exclusive club turn into nasty little hellions. You know something is wrong when your daughters cuts up her cuddly bunny with a kitchen knife, and your beloved wife tries to decapitate you with a golf club. The only way to return them to their former lovable selves is to put on the space suit you invented, and delve deep into the depths of hell itself. But don't be tempted by the charms of the sexy she-devil who's pursuing you!!
Yep, it is as weird as it sounds. But the mystery behind what's going on will keep you viewing... to a point. Then, when the not-so-surprising rationale for everyone acting cuckoo shows itself, it all fizzles out in a damp squid of a finale as all the dad has to do is LOVE HIS FAMILY to set it all right. Yup, not even a chainsaw or shotgun in sight. YAWN. Still, the journey getting there ain't so bad, and I was slightly beguiled by the 80's apparel on display... from the dodgy fashion, starchy hairstyles and primitive computers. In GREEN font. Compared to them, my ZX Spectrum looks like HAL-9000... 5/10
