Possibly the corniest thing ever January 13, 2010
M. T. (Minnesota)
I enjoyed this movie for several reasons; It made me laugh, it made me nervous, and it blew my mind. There is something about the various characters in this film that are true to people, but obviously much more embelished. So I guess the acting really wasn't that bad.
It has something to say regarding people and the need to feel accepted or belong. That is a about the only thing that makes the story unique and timeless. Other than that a person would be horrified at the cheesy effects and sound on this film, though I liked it for that very reason. The way this movie is done makes you embarassed about the past and at the same time long for those days to be back. I can't imagine this would have required much of a budget. It indludes several familiar faces including Punky Brewster and the kid from the Neverending Story.
I would definately recommend seeing this movie once. At the beginning of this movie you might not know what to expect exactly so I won't spoil it anymore than I have. It might hurt a little at first... and all the way through for that matter. But if your head isn't made of concrete than you should get at least a little something out of this film.
very satisfied !! October 17, 2009

Saw this movie years ago, and never heard any more about it. Upon looking for old scary movies for halloween, This movie came to mind. Noone had heard of it. I went to Amazon and not even knowing the name of movie, I found it and purchased with no problem. I was so excited to see it again, and it was in great condition.
A Real Taste of the 80's! October 3, 2009
Ryan Freer (Fort Worth, TX USA)
It has been at least 17 or 18 years since I first--and last--saw this movie on TV. Even then, it was truly an inspiring throwback. What I enjoyed most was how potently 80's it was in every respect. The musical score particularly harks back to an earlier period of rich electronic music; using analogue synthesizers, and 'Tangerine Dream-like' soundscapes. It's always a wonderful experience returning to the spirit of that time. No other films can do it better than those low-budget relics such as this, which have been all but forgotten.
 Fills The Need For Cheeeze!... August 7, 2009
Bindy Sue Frønkünschtein (under the rubble)
Wes Craven is an interesting director. The very same genius behind horror classics like THE HILLS HAVE EYES, LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT, and A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET, is also responsible for some major additions to the annals of cheeeze. His made-4-tv movie INVITATION TO HELL is a prime example of the latter. That nasty old satan is up to his old tricks again, this time in the guise of the beautiful Jessica Jones (Susan Lucci!), healthclub owner. Enter a loving family (including Robert Urich, Bladerunner's Joanna Cassidy, and Punky Brewster herself- Soliel Moon Frye!!) of unsuspecting suburbanites who are drawn into a devilish plot to get them to join the "Steaming Springs" health club. Little do they know, Jessica is only trying to imprison their very souls! Can dad (Urich) figure things out and save the day before health clubs like this begin popping up all across our great land? Let us pray for his success! Watch for Kevin McCarthy (Invasion Of The Body Snatchers, The Howling, Piranha, Twilight Zone: The Movie) as dad's boss, and Michael Berryman (The Hills Have Eyes, The Devil's Rejects) as a valet! Everyone should see this movie once...
Invation To Hell April 6, 2009
JOHNIE R PULLUM (Brooklyn, New york)
This is an eerie tale from the 1980s. It does not quite make it as a horror. More like a eerie drama. It is pretty entertaining, especially with the soap opers star, Susan Lucci. Shey played the female, succubus, demon in the movie very well. With a little more action and violence, this could have been a much better movie, still it is good for those who like a soft chill. I Did Like it though.
