- Опубліковано 21 сер 2024
- An invitation to join a country club turns into an Invitation to Hell. Matt Winslow (Robert Urich) and his family move to California where they settle in an affluent community where people enjoy the good life. Matt is persuaded by his wife (Joanna Cassidy) and son to join the exclusive country club. After a private tour of the club with the sexy director, Miss Jones (Susan Lucci), Matt notices disturbing changes in his wife and son and the dark, sinister secrets that lurk within the club.
As soon as the intro music starts - it's nostalgia overload. Bittersweet and often painful. I know I'm not the only one who wishes they could go back in time and do it all over again.
I have this movie on DVD and watched it again last night. I have a lot of Susan Lucci's movies on DVD. Tonight I watched Seduced and Betrayed. Her movies are all guilty pleasures.
Only if I could do it better than before.
@@eze417 Knowing what you know now, YES, you could do it much better around every corner.
Exactly what I felt. That was a huge wave of nostalgia. The glorious 80s!
I miss America from this time to
I remember wanting to see this when I was in high school. But back then, if you missed a TV show you probably never saw it again. Gotta love UA-cam!
I miss Robert Urich. He died so young, but left an impressive amount of work.
C Ross kfc 1984 i wht some......... love 80s bro. born 81.......
He wasn't only goodlooking. He also looked like a geniunely good person.
@@ducejoe5158 Can you speak English ??
Ice Pirates was awesome.
He was so handsome. RIP Mr. Urich.
Wes Craven + Robert Urich + Susane Lucci = "One Helluva TV Thriller Classic" .....🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠
Literally just seen your comment appearing on my page 😂 I have begun watching it now; however I had no idea Wes Craven RIP was involved with this film! Cheers from Boston, Massachusetts Amerikkka quite literally speaking ❤ especially now.
@@deanpesaturo6401 Yes this is one of Wes Craven's early works....I had the biggest crush on "Susan Lucci" during her soap opera days....."Erica Kane" will always be my favorite character she played...But this film was fine example you don't need any over sexed crazed scenes, no bad language, & still spooky enough to keep your interest.....
Absolutely agree, been a big fan of Robert Urich, since the Spenser days...
@@khingofswordz43 yes she was very beautiful I agree!!
Punky Brewster too I think!!!
Boy, don't mess with Susan Lucci! Good 80's supernatural tale. I'm a fan of Robert Urich, Joanna Cassidy and Susan.
Love the flashback to the 80's feel of it.
Thank you so much for posting.
AstralPixie remember Las Vegas
Rest in peace, Wes Craven - a horror master and all-around terrific director. Thanks for all the nightmares!
1:33:32 :( for you Wes
Knew it had to be one of his.... It's his style all over. RIP Wes Craven. Much loved by many many fans and just as much missed by us all.
@@Tchernobog zzz
Wes Craven made the best stoner horror movies
Rip Robert Urich. I remember his movies and miss spencer for hire. Great actor. Thanks for the upload.
so happy to finally get to see this again after 30 years and 20 years of trying to find and remember the title of the movie... epic day!
Same here
I love reading this enthusiastic comment.
Me too, I watched it on a 13 inch tv when i was 7 or 8 years old back in 84 or 85 and only remembered a few details, ive been searching for this movie for 20 dam years
The moral of the story is don't join facebook.
TRUE SO TRUE 😬😬😬😬
I made a new years resolution to leave, and I so wish I'd done it earlier! Much happier without it.
@@franpotter5041 I left and I agree it's been nicer with out fb.
and people should keep there eyes on the road whilst driving
@Quint Pierre You're a fucking idiot.
I haven't seen this show since I was 13. It definitely made an impact on me and it had a positive message. For many people, success comes at a high price. Compared to today's television, this seems innocent in some ways. For example, he fought to literally save his family and he resisted that secret society. This movie contains truth.
Yeah, and the wife folded like a cheap suit.
yea i guess like they were all drinking the kool aid as the saying goes lol
The movie was about the evil's of Corporate America and Greed! The message was dont sell your soul for power and material things life is more important than ...Power and Material. There are 7 deadly sins and you have the fruits of the spirit.
@@lennysvibe America has turned into nothing but an immitation of what was!
Fantastic flick. Great storyline and interesting cast. Robert Urich is an extremely talented and versatile actor. He was terribly underrated. Thank you for the exciting upload. Those superb 80's era. 27/10/2019.
The club is exactly how I imagine all the Facebook Community Standards Department is.
LMAO!!! You got a good point!!!
That's a quality joke!
Interesting point. You should read my comment I made outside of this thread.
Given the amount of people subscribed to Facebook I wouldn't have thought they had any standards!!!
I knew the Democrat party had a hang out some place..with Nancy Pelosi as their head demon.
I just discovered this movie a few nights ago as a UA-cam recommendation. I loved it!! Sort of an offbeat spin off on the movie "Poltergeist" only instead of a haunted house its an evil demonic club. The chemistry between Patricia and Matt is so beautiful. They are such a wonderful married couple and he really loves her so much. Her kids are great! Punky Brewster and the kid from "Neverending story". And Susan Lucci as the evil Steaming Springs temptress who tempts then condemns the whole SoCal town they are in to the evil "club". Amazing! The movie really shows what happens when you drink the corporate Kool-Aid. I'm glad Pat realized she already had everything to make her happy. I really loved this movie! Bring back the 80s! I think it goes without saying the 80s had way better entertainment for sure.
Lol how is this a spin on Poltergeist?
Agree or disagree I think it is, basically the same neighborhood set and family being haunted by an evil presence in their home just my opinion
I just watched the movie and I loved it!!! There's nothing better than watching
an 80's horror film on a lazy morning....:)
Was streaming it on one of those free apps but the commercials were maddening. I stopped it and came to UA-cam which did not disappoint. Thank you for uploading. I forgot how good looking Robert Urlich, Susan Lucci and Joanna Cassidy all were.
That start, even before the credits, was truly epic.
and got back up with her hair entact. 😅
@@househead67 let that be a warning never run over a woman in read..it could get hot😁
This is hilarious, especially the beginning when she popped right back up and set that guy on fire hahahha
Haha I know ...absolute garbage.
Seethe my brother. For the time is at hand.
@@derekmyers3258 do you listen to the band seether?
Kudos on the creepy comment! 🤠
excellent film the 80s was a great decade for horror films just when you think you've seen all the good ones another one pops up :) 👍
You're right, 80s like a bottomless treasure box.
Thought provoking and meaningful. Don't let the slow beginning discourage you from watching the whole movie.
A very slow start indeed....i clicked out, i'm back again. Hope it's worth it.
I was shocked to find out this was a Wes Craven film. With Soleil Moon Frye and Oliver Barrett as the kids this was a great ABC movie of the week to behold. Loved the spacesuit adventure into hell.
+Nanoforge1 Me too! I was surprised last night when I saw that in his obituary. Makes me like what I thought was an obscure movie even more!
Both kids were so cute
His name is Barrett Oliver.
Oh wow, didn't know that was Soleil, she was so darn cute.
Barret Oliver was a great actor. He chose to leave acting in his mid-teens.
I respect his choice, and he doesn't have to justify it to anyone, but I think it's a shame we don't hear much about him any more.
I know he practices photography, and specialises in unique 19th century techniques. Seems like he has a real talent for this.
As long as he is happy I guess. And I get it why he wants to keep away from public scrutiny. We all have a right to privacy. But it would be so cool to hear him make the occasional public appearance or to make a few public comments every now and again. ❤
Thanks for the upload. Usually hard to find these classics. Glad good people like you exist.
Was für ein toller Film! Den habe ich seit Ewigkeiten nochmals sehen wollen!
Thanks so much for the upload!!!
I remember watching this as a 12 year old in the 80's. I always wondered the name of the movie for all these years, now i've found it here on youtube! Thanks so much for posting!!!!
It is hard to imagine, or remember, a time when any film or TV series would promote and glorify good, honour, parental dedication, true love, marriage and family, while properly portraying the feeble forces of evil, thuggery, lust and lies. God love anyone who tried then, and God help anyone who tries now.
That's because Netflix is satanic.
Naw, 1980's mormon science fiction. They've always had a lot of influence on the deep state. It's satanic as well if you believe in Satan that is.
aw, you ought to know you don't have to believe in something for it to be true.@@titaniumman1201
I am 5 min into the movie and I am loving the family conversations. I am all in. Love the actors and Wes!
OMG! The beginning scene with Susan Lucci and the Limo drive is priceless.
Good movie seeing Robert Urich made me think of Spencer For Hire damn fine actor R.I.P. 👍👍
Spencer for hire definantely a good tv series
Gone too soon
@@fluffgirl1000 --🤔Wouldn't be the same as you remember-sadly. Was a great program.✌💛
@lana lake 😪🙏🙏🙏💛
I remember him in Vegas, SWAT and The Rookies...
Classic 1980's science fiction movie, made in 1984 great film by Wes Craven. This is the second time I have seen this movie since 1984, I'm glad I was able to see this again on youtube.
Stgfre be by but by
I've been looking for this movie forever. Thank you.
Haha so have I. Thanks!
i'm a wes craven fan, and never seen this movie, really surprised me. I liked it a lot, very psychological, in 1984 he made 3 movies, the 80's was his best period..
Wow! Soleil Moon Frye from "Punky Brewster" and Barret Oliver from "Neverending Story". I love the 80s.
Simon and Simon colts this movie but need some kool aid.
brilliant !
D.A.R.Y.L
Ms.moon frie is gorgeous
@@chandlerscaringia5260 I knew it😁
Weird but enjoyable. The lovely Robert Urich saved the day but it should have ended with him going to get their sweet dog back. Thanks for uploading
thanks for letting me know something happens to the dog and they don't save him.
I'm out.
@@bluecollarlit I learned a long time ago, when there is a lovely dog in the film, you just know it is going to be killed. puts my right off, especially as I prefer dogs to people
I am a simple guy, I see a movie released in the 80s. I click play!!
Oh 80's I miss you so.
Don't get me started:)
A great era glad i was part of it ........loved every minute
Erica Govea Me too! :)
Yep deffo
Me too...
Robert Ulrich was lovely - RIP
So sorry for those of you who think this is fiction or just entertainment.. But they live💀☠💀🌍 amongst us....
so many reasons I would like to go back to the 70s & 80s .
me too
bob wolf why what's that you missing really
bob wolf Any room in that time machine for me?
I would be so much younger.
i wish time travel is real
I randomly found this back in the early 90s on TV one evening. Was a hidden gem i thought at the time. I enjoyed it.
Not gonna join my local gym after watching this!
Yeah, you can't get out of those contracts.
I wasn't going to either way =P
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Me too. Excuse Number 347...
wow i forgot how great this movie is for an old film i remember watching it when it first came out in 84 and it is still as good now and would it be weird to say that robert urick was quite a dish back then am i the only one or is there anyone else that thinks that,anyway thanx so much for posting this movie it brought back alot of memories xxxxxx
yes, he was very, very handsome
dude... imma guy and its not hard to tell he's good lookin dude. Susan Lucci is not developmentally disabled.
Sure, I remember Mr Urich well as Dan Tanna in Vega$, plenty of memories of the great cop/PI/action shows back in the 1970s/80s, anybody remember the likes of Starsky & Hutch, Miami Vice, The A Team, Rockford Files, Hunter, Wiseguy, Dukes of Hazzard, Kojak, Magnum PI, Sledge Hammer, Charlies Angels, McCloud, Quincy, Barney Miller, Hart to Hart, Hill Street Blues, McGyver, Riptide, and all those I've forgotten about........... :)
I was on 4th grade when I watched it . I searched this movie cause i have always a flashback on this movie. Thanks for posting this again
Great movie!
first 2 minutes: a Woman melts a guy with her finger... This movie is gonna be amazing.
😆 riight...
correct
made for tv movie don't anyone get their hopes up.
Susan lucci
Soap opera star!
Kind of reminds me of Amazon Prime....always want you to join them!
LOL!!!
🤣🤣🤣
These campy retro horror movies are what's going to get me through this pandemic!! Yay!!
Excellent image quality! Thanks for uploading.
Remember seeing this as a teen as though it were yesterday. It has aged really well.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I had a wonderful unexpected surprise of seeing Robert Urich onstage in the touring show of "Chicago" playing Billy Flynn. He had a great singing voice. He wasn't just a TV star. How we miss him.
Wow, Wes Craven right before Nightmare, Kevin McCarthy, Joanna Cassidy, Robert Urich, the kid from the Neverending Story, Punky Brewster, and Susan Lucci melting a guy within the first minute of the film while wearing a complete 80s wardrobe and hairstyle, almost a Diana in V vibe. The Yuppies. Sylvester Levay doing the music. Ah, no doubt we're going full drive into the 80s!
Definitely Diana from V
This movie is well done. The suspense is carefully built and the actors do a great job.
I remember seeing parts of this movie on a lazy summer afternoon when I was a kid and it stuck with me for some reason. All these years later I finally found it. lol
I absolutely love the cheesy sincerity of this flick!
Love conquers all in the end!!! Good film. Thanks for the upload
I was looking for this movie since 35 years ago!!! Thanks for sharing!!! Blood beach is another hard to find movie and the food of the gods. Thanks again!!! Greetings from Mexico!!! 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
I just watched sst death flight and loved it
They moved to the "Poltergeist" neighborhood 😳
The beginning was the strangest JC Penny / Mentos commercial I've ever seen.
which was the strangest?
Brian Freel the
Little girl....3:14 "I like the snow" Dad.... "You didn't have to shovel it"~ LOL
Nostalgia all over! Music, customs, hairdo. That big hair and makeup. Love it. Never knew about this movie until today. Thank u for the upload!!!
That bit at the beginning when she uses her hand to shoot through the glass and melt thhat guy - would come in very handy where I work
I’m on the waiting list for that device too.
35 years later, Susan Lucci looks the same.
Thanks! Wanted to know if the movie is worth buying! - It is!
I was 9 when I first saw this movie. After all these years I still remember it.
same age as I was when I saw it,,,just had moved to a new city as well ....creeped me out
I remember it all those years ago
well things got creepy at Matt's job really quick
Susan Lucci was and is still pretty.
"What you really want is to taste the fire." Lmao!!! Great movie!
But what the hell happened to the dog?
mmm... good observation! maybe an evil dog strikes back on the sequel XD!
Aleia Le'Gare the dog was given away and fortunately he had the sense to leave the dog at the vet because the evil clone wife wanted him dead as he could sense the evil off of them.
starkid77 I believe that God gave them the ability to sense and see evil spirits on people. They bark like crazy at them and have a look of fear in their eyes.
Yes the dog was better off staying with the Vet! .... until ...
I'm seeing long station wagons with wood panel sides in my sleep. Every movie I watch on UA-cam features that as the Main Car. I'm finally laughing at it, it's so consistent!
Susan Lucci, you are so bad.
Some 18 minutes into it -- I caught myself having fallen half asleep. My own 1984 was never this boring, fortunately. Also, it looks like I didn't miss much by remaining unmarried.
Not bad
Thanks for the upload
I love Wes Craven movies!! Thanks for posting :)
Found it... and by mistake.... did not know the name of this film and so never could find it... just remember the space suit..!!!! super joyed....
I saw this movie when it showed on TV I've been looking for it for years thanks.
Miss Susan Lucci...beautiful then, still beautiful today!
Susan Lucci was very attractive
Could Susan have any more makeup on??? So eighties....LOLOL
At least she didn't have a ring in her nose.
My goodness 5 year's ago it's August 2019.Good movie 👏👏 👏👍👍 👍💜
A dude
Just ran across this movie & Im shocked I never had seen it, but the *BIG* hair that doesn't move is an 80's dead give-a-way lol 😆
I like the idea that whether or not to join a local health club is a decision that calls for a great deal of internal deliberation: "I'm just not sure it's right for me."
Winter 2022 - I somehow missed this in the 80s.....
Back when station-wagons were a status symbol.
Not really, I drove an Olds Cutlass. Pretty car!
which high class did you represent !!!
The Illuminati 80's style lol
Money and power who can say no ..but a mothers love is stronger than anything ..
If, Robert Urich is in this, we know that it will be good! Miss him!!
Watched this movie for the first time today, little hidden gem it is - has a kinda ‘Stepford Wives’ feel to it 👍🏻
For a morality tale, this outing hits all the contemporary notes of upward-striving, success-oriented ruthlessness of our present civilization, and it provides an answer in the healing power of love, but the plot short-changes The Devil. If everyone, save Matthew, entered this miniature version of Hell (except -- a plot hole -- the little girl) utterly voluntarily, why would his rescue of his family destroy the entire operation? All those corporate strivers -- where are they? And the secretary, Grace -- is she still dead?
I guess I'll have to rest content with the idea that the father of the family (a category which includes me) resisted the Call of Evil and conquered Hell with the power of love; that's upbeat enough.
🥱
Thanks for posting,as there's nowhere to view this movie,watched it about 20 years ago,late one night on bbc 1
The lady at the beginning of the film is dressed with the uniform for Diana in the V series. Same make up and hairstyle as well.
Wardrobe budget was lacking.🤣
@@bunnyfoofoo9695 Maybe. Tacky wardrobe in any case.
Yes 👍… you're so right! 😊
@@Mirage_Mach5 It's so true!
I agree and have just finished watching the box set of V excellent series.
Moral of this story Love conquers over evil
Yeah right that why it's sc fi
Yep this movie represents everything we see in Hollywood today
Aint that the truth
Sike on a bike!
Wes Craven's Invitation to Hell (1984) very classic tv movie, i heard it was good and :YAY: it's Punky Brewster, she was my hero when i was a little girl, Thanks Julie for posting this film :)
Should you receive an invitation from hell, politely turn it down and RUN!!!!
Is that the Poltergeist house? - "Have you ever seen such a kitchen!?" Then - "Oh my God, I've just shot my friends because they dressed up as gorillas to bring us a surprise KFC party!" SPOOKY!
Quite satisfying! Nothing like a good 'ol 80s TV movie.
Worth watching.
Thank you.😳😳🙂🙂👍👍
Let's talk about the more sci fi elements of the movie: the high tech space suit with the HUD. This was the closest thing I had to an IRON MAN movie until the Marvel Cinematic Universe decades later. Millennials don't know how good they got it now...
An allegory of the devil's modus operandi. Beware.
good movie...classic 80's...
great soundtrack. I want the music but it hasnt been released :(
Got to love how they wanted a Man on Venus in 3 years and here we are in 2016 and we still haven't gone there yet.
Never will see a man on Venus.

Crush pennies??? Now you are fucking stupid.
The answer is... it's hot, humid, corrosive and toxic... but it won't crush pennies. Fuck!!!!
A lander has been there, Skippy.
I had one memory of this movie. I was 11 years old and just searched for it and found this video. Saw the exact scene I remembered from all those years ago.
Ya I was 6. I remember it coming on tv around the time school let out. 80s were so easier. People were different back then. Way different.
24:55 "Human terrestial benign" The word is TERRESTRIAL. That damn typo drove me crazy !! Smh....
Hahaha. The typist had only one job and blew it.
It’s nothing like a good old movie 🍿 this movie reflects today how we live among demons that look human.i love how the light is so powerful but the will to fight against evil an have victory over the darkness god wins .😁
Huh?
This movie so deserves a updated make over - enjoyable watch - thx for upload
Never heard of this movie. But, it was a very good watch! Thanks for the upload!
Damn!! Susan Lucci is cold blooded on here, lol!!!
Uh Oh, this is where Joanna Cassidy becomes a "Runner". Better get Harrison Ford.
I Saw this has a kid on 1989. Always impressed me.
Matt Winslow (Robert Urich) and his family arrive in a new town to start a new life as he begins a new job, but a string of strange events occur as they're pressured to join Steaming Springs Country Club, making him think that there is something sinister going on.
This is one hell of a damn good movie it's old but it still rocks.
More than old it's agent 😉
