Hey now, after having lived in "Silicon Valley" (San Jose, Santa Clara, Mtn. View area south of San Francisco) for 23 years, and having spent a good deal of that time working for electronics companies, I saw something in this movie that didn't occur to me when I first watched it back in 1984 when it was on TV. What occurred to me is that selling your soul to the Devil for success in business was not a far cry from what life is like there. I'm not sure that Wes Craven really knew much about that but maybe if he did this was his commentary on that lifestyle. Lifestyles of the rich and soul-less. Susan "I Never Won An Emmy" Lucci plays the owner of Steaming Springs Country Club, a place where the "beautiful" people come to hob nob, and it's ever so exclusive. Membership is a tad on the expensive side though. Just your soul, and success is sure to come. Along comes Robert Urich and family from somewhere in the midwest to settle down and start a new life. They've never had much before and his wife allows success to go right to her head by buying all new furniture and changing their house into a showcase of ugly trashy furniture. Not to mention she and the kids run down to the Country Club and "sign up". Now this is not one of Wes Craven's best movie, by far, but it's still entertaining and maybe it even has a sly commentary on the lifestyles of the rich and wannabee's in Silicon Valley, where everyone thinks they're a superstar no matter how little talent they possess. Worth seeing at least once, and is probably better than "Don't Look Down", but I guess that's only a "Wes Craven Presents"....
