ABC sucks , they refuse to put any of their good TV Movies on DVD. Like this one.

Look on the bright side: there's always the 'black market'! Screw ABC.

@jbrande55 And this was a pretty good one, the music score (by Gil Melle) was pretty eerie as well.

Great movie. I remember it well, even though I was about nine when I saw it.

I was a child when this movie was shown on TV in germany. Oh how I was scared when I realised how killed those people :) Very good movie! I hope for a remake some day. Cutting this 70th atmosphere and adapting it more to your time. Would be (also is) a great movie.

Holy Smoke, I've been looking for this movie for eons! Thanks for sharing! One of the best TV movies ever made. Very reminiscent of THE OUTER LIMITS, down to Robert Culp's presence. I think that's Vic Perrin, The Control Voice, doing the pre-credit narrative, too. Great stuff!!!

I remember watching this as a kid. I was around 7. I stayed up and watched it by myself under a blanket on the couch. Scared the shit out of me, but I had been accustomed to watching those Vincent Price movies of Poe stories by Roger Corman. This is a classic to me. Thanks for posting.
