The People (1972 TV Movie)
3/10
Wouldn't have been so bad if the IMDb and Amazon descriptions hadn't ruined the story for me!

If you've gotten as far as checking reviews, you've probably already read the description on IMDb at least, but if you haven't, DON'T and you'll enjoy the movie a lot more! This movie would have been MUCH more enjoyable if I hadn't gone in knowing exactly what the "twist" was, thanks to the descriptions on both IMDb and Amazon Prime Video. I can see that if the mystery hadn't have been spoiled for me, the question of what was happening in this strange, isolated town would have been very interesting, but as it was, there was no suspense at all.

The acting was about what one would expect from a 1970s TV movie, though I found it funny that William Shatner got such high billing, given that he only had about 15-20 minutes of screen time. But I do understand that he was a big name at the time.
