______________________________________________
This is an exceptionally well done episode with a great story and a frightening premise.
The cast is also impressive. Ed Asner is a police sergeant investigating the death of a scientist who was part of a team are studying an energy creature which kills people by absorbing the electrical energy from their bodies, giving them heart attacks.
Kent Smith (who plays a major role in The Invaders TV series) is the scientists in charge of the team, and he becomes obsessed with finding a way to control the energy creature.
The FX of the energy being are genuinely creepy — and impossible to describe. You have to see it to appreciate it.
WARNING! Both the beginning and end of this episode are puzzling and a bit disappointing — because the episode never really explains where the energy creature came from . . . or how it was sent by to its confinement in the end. _________________ ____________
