This film begins with a brilliant scientist named "Matt Winslow" (Robert Urich) and his family moving to a new town where he can develop a project he's been working on for a major corporation. At first everything seems normally but then everybody in the company begin to pressure him and his wife, "Patricia Winslow" (Joanna Cassidy) to join a large health club nearby. At first everybody tolerates their initial hesitation but as time goes by the pressure becomes even more intense as the owner of the health spa "Jessica Jones" (Susan Lucci) becomes personally involved. And it's then that Matt notices that those who join the club aren't quite the same afterward. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this made-for-television movie turned out to be much better than I expected with both Susan Lucci and Joanna Cassidy performing quite well. Admittedly, it suffers somewhat due to the limitations incurred by television guidelines but I enjoyed it all the same and have rated it accordingly. Slightly above average.
