John Ritter plays a salesman who spends all his free time watching television, to the exasperation of his wife, Helen. One day, TV salesman Spike (Jeffrey Jones) convinces Roy to buy a satellite dish offering 666 channels. The new addition to Roy's home entertainment system sucks him and Helen into Hellvision, a demonic realm run by Spike as an emissary of Satan. For 24 hours, the couple must survive devilish parodies of TV programs if they want to return to reality alive.





Variety reported the film was "not diabolical enough for true black comedy, too scary and violent for kids lured by its PG rating and witless in its sendup of obsessive TV viewing...a picture with nothing for everybody"
