It all starts harmlessly enough: Drifter Wade Norton (Geoffrey Horne)
almost runs over an old man and goes to the next house to ask for help or
at least call an ambulance. Thing is that all inhabitants of the house
(Nellie Burt, Gloria Grahame, Vaughn Taylor, Luana Anders) seem pretty
weird, and except for Tess (Luana Anders) nobody seems to even care for
the old man.
What Wade didn't know of course was that the house was actually an
alien brain (really) only disguised as a house, and in that brain lives a
creature trying to figure out the equation between creation and
destruction and find the missing element. By now, even the most
lame-brained viewer will know that the missing element will be love, still
the whole thing goes on for another half an hour, in which Wade falls in
love with Tess - the only one who showed compassion for the old man - and
the two try to find a way out of the house - of course the whole group is
locked in and has been so for decades -, and when they find it, Wade
encourages Tess to leave, even if that would mean her aging and possible
death, rather than live on miserably as one of the house's guests.
This is when even the lame-brained brain from outer space realizes the
missing element of the equation is love, then it releases Wade and travels
back to wherever it came from.
Oh my God !
Another one of these awfully written Outer Limits
episodes that actually try to say something but fail miserably thanks to a
bad script and an even worse message the script was to deliver.
I can't but repeat: Oh my God !!!
