The problem with that "invitation to Hell" lies in the fact that,after a promising start, it borrows too much from other stories : the nice place where the family settles and its famous club is an Ira Levin's "the Stepford wives" rip off (although Levin's book concerned only women) ; the fake human beings are taken by force from "invasion of the body snatchers " in which the great character actor Kevin Mc Carthy was featured ;present in two scenes here): Robots or E.T.s ,it's all the same :the screenwriters do not even bother to explain who is responsible for this would be paradise; watchable till the hero's descent into hell which is a spate of clichés.
