The Other Side of the Sun [Abstract]

Quite some time ago, I saw a B-list, sci-fi flick with an interesting premise. A space probe discovers a planet that is a twin of Earth and shares Earth's orbit, but which has remained undetected because it is on the far side of the sun. An expedition is mounted and humans are found. They seem to be like us in every respect, parallel selves in fact, but subtle and disturbing differences start to emerge. The eerie sound of a Theremin and knowing glances between expedition members foreshadow the drama that is to unfold. . . .
