The Stepford Wives (1975), directed by Bryan Forbes

Modern wife (Katharine Ross) begins to suspect a frightening connection when she moves with her family to the small town of Stepford, where most of the women are strangely contented housewives and their husbands, including her own, all belong to the same club. Forbes and screenwriter William Goldman wisely let the satire take care of itself and focus instead on creating a believable atmosphere of mounting horror that wastes no time explaining mysteries better left to our imagination. Not much action until the end, but that's as it should be. An underappreciated gem. Forgettably remade in 2004 as a comedy. Based on Ira Levin's novel.
