Warning: Spoilers
So what if the ozone layer really went away and we were forced to go to a parallel earth and take it over? Well, then we'd be the bad guys in this movie and we'd be up against the formidable Yasmine Bleeth, who has come home to realize that everyone in her old town is a totally different person.

David Jackson, who directed this, made one of the worst TV movies I've ever seen, The Jesse Ventura Story, as well as a movie I never knew existed, From the Files of Unsolved Mysteries: Voice from the Grave, which takes the dramatizations of Unsolved Mysteries all the way to a full movie in which Megan Ward is possessed by a dead woman. He also made Return to Halloweentown, which just shows that I have watched way too many movies.

It's all based on a book by J. D. Feigelson, who also wrote Horror High and Dark Night of the Scarecrow. He's completed a sequel to that film recently that he directed, wrote and edited.

Look - TV movies are a mixed bag. Sometimes you get Carl Kolchak. And other times you get people with their organs on the wrong side of their bodies. I mean, I liked it, but if this site proves anything, it's that my taste is questionable.
