This review is from: The Stranger Within (1974) (DVD)

I loved this made for television movie as a kid in 1974.
Barbara Eden and George Grizzard were awesome. In 1974 I
recorded the movie on my (tape recorder):). The music is
chilling, and perfect for the backdrop of the California hills
where it was filmed. I had a chance to meet Barbara Eden in
Philadelphia, PA several years ago. I told her how much I
enjoyed this flick. She is a very beautiful and classy lady,
and this movie shall always be one of my personal favorites.
The DVD is a proud part of my library.

3.0 out of 5 stars The E.T. Within, October 12, 2004

This review is from: Stranger Within [VHS] (VHS Tape)

A creepy variation of ROSEMARY'S BABY, THE STRANGER WITHIN stars Barbara Eden playing against type. The story and plot may be a little derivative but the real treat is to see Barbara Eden as a women with an unsuspected (alien)pregnancy go through emotional tantrums and weird eating binges as the pregnancy takes over her personality and body chemistry (i.e. her blood-type changes and has an appetite for salt). Writer Richard Matheson's (SOMEWHERE IN TIME, TRILOGY OF TERROR), story has the right amount of suspense and terror to sustain a 90-minute tv film although sometimes it becomes a little repetative especially when Barbara Eden's character is in and out of the hospital during the duration of the film. However, some of the subject matter is probably daring for it's day (early 1970's) with such mentions of vasectomys and alien abductions. Overall, a decent sci-fi horror film made for the small screen that has its moments of suspense and horror. Also its worth a look to see Barbara Eden in a dramatic role and doing some off the wall things (which are tame for 1970's tv standards). Good support work from actors George Grizzard , David Doyle (tv's CHARLIE'S ANGELS' 'Bosley'), Joyce Van Patten and Nehemiah Persoff(YENTL).

4.0 out of 5 stars 27 bucks fer a DVD-R...!!!, October 6, 2010

This review is from: The Stranger Within (1974) (DVD)

No matter how excellent this movie is, at [...] bucks this (and the likes, such as The Possessed (Tvm)) is a steal! These are all WB TV movies that Amazon sell exclusively on DVD-R, and they actually come cheaper as illegal copies at $10-15.

Shame on you!
