Overlong and underdeveloped, this flimsy Bryan Forbes horror story (1975) would probably have made a decent television movie; but on the big screen and stretched to nearly two hours, it sags badly. Katharine Ross stars as a young suburban wife whose investigations into the strange transformation of her female neighbors into mindless robots leads to a grisly secret. The cast—with the happy exception of the always delightful Paula Prentiss—is uniformly dreary; and by the time the mystery begins to take shape, it's hardly possible to care. PG, 115 min.
