Invitation to Hell (1984 TV Movie)
3/10
Wes Craven before he got famous
6 May 2020
Warning: Spoilers
Before he made his mark inflicting Freddy Kruger on the world, Wes Craven still needed to eat. So he directed this Made for TV schlock which involves a computer specialist who works for a company where everyone works for the Diabolic Health Club.

Susan Lucci, showing the skills that got her passed up for the Daytime Emmys for 20 years, plays a demoness, Robert Urich plays a computer programmer.

So a question- if everyone came here of their own free will, why take over the kids? The kids can't really make that kind of informed decision... (and the little girl clearly didn't want to go). What is the devil getting out of this, anyway? See how none of this makes sense.

Craven's directing does a good job of building tension, but the story is weak sauce.
