Summary
Invitation to Hell is an American made-for-television supernatural horror movie that aired in 1984. Directed by Wes Craven and produced by Richard Kobritz, the film stars Robert Urich, Joanna Cassidy, Susan Lucci, and Joe Regalbuto.

The Plot
The story revolves around the Winslow household, who transfers to a brand-new town after patriarch Matt Winslow (played by Robert Urich) secures a job at a hi-tech aerospace business. As the family tries to settle in, they come into contact with an exclusive country club that appears to wield undue influence within their community.

Susan Lucci portrays the perilous yet charismatic club director, Jessica Jones, who constantly prompts Matt and his family to sign up with the club. Nevertheless, Matt grows progressively suspicious of both Jessica and the club, especially after observing strange behaviour from both his coworkers and his own family who have connected with the club.

Establishing Intrigue
As the story advances, Matt's wariness boosts. His spouse, Patricia (played by Joanna Cassidy), and their two children, Chrissy and Robert, catch Jessica's persuasions and join the club in spite of Matt's apprehensions. Following their initiation, Matt sees their personalities and behavior start to change dramatically; they become uncharacteristically far-off and indifferent. This change prompts Matt to investigate the country club more extremely, triggering a chain of eerie and unearthly incidents.

The Club's True Nature
Through his examinations, Matt reveals a frightening discovery: the country club is really a gateway to Hell and Jessica Jones is a demonic entity creating employees for the underworld. The club members have actually basically offered their souls, resulting in their behaviour modification. Matt challenges Jessica, leading to a heated showdown that occurs in a surreal, fiery underworld where the essence of the club members' souls are captured in a mirror.

The Climax
In the remarkable ending, Matt wins the battle by shattering the twisted mirror, releasing the trapped souls and freeing them from Jessica's dominion, including his own family. The Winslows securely return to their house, now aware of the sinister nature of the club.

Conclusion
The movie ends on a chilling note as Jessica Jones, seen standing amongst the wreckage of the damaged club, is still very much at big and plotting her vengeance. The filmensures viewers won't dismiss nation club invites that easily henceforth.
