Twilight Zone: The Movie

The movie that was long overdue. It doesn't make the original series look better or worse. And in some cases, an improvement. The gremlin in "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet" was far better than the one depicted on the TV version and John Lithgow starts at paranoid and rakes it up. He doesn't start calm and build. Very difficult to do and I admire that. <br /> <br />"It's a Good Life" has so many in-jokes it is not funny. Watch for star cameos, named of towns and references to the original show. <br /> <br />"Kick the Can" is superbly filmed. Spielberg took his time and did this one with love. <br /> <br />I also suggest you buy "The Twilight Zone: Unlocking the Door to a Television Classic" because the 800 plus page book is a P-E-R-F-E-C-T companion to the DVD. You'll learn about the behind-the-scenes filming and that means far more than casual vieweing. It requires multiple viewings. The behind-the-scenes stuff is fun. Both are available on Amazon.

I tip my hat to the following directors; John Landis, Stephen Speilberg, Joe Dante, George Miller. A FANTASIC AND STRANGE MOVIE!

The Twilight Zone"The Movie" is more than fun, it's a trip into a world of the mind & you'll see thing that will trick your thoughts.Four short stories into the otherside, the best one in the story of the older poeple,finding they never need to grow old & learn to keep their youth in their hearts. It's just one of four short stories. Another is about a man & his fear of flying & thing go mad in his mind or are they real. Well you just have to find out for yourself. So pick up the Twilight Zone"The Movie" & catch a mind ride to the otherside, It's fun trip'enjoy.Great movie fun.

I have read reviews saying that people are disappointed because there was no gore, or disappointed because the transfer wasn't to their standards.... GET OVER IT. Twilight Zone the movie is very underrated in my opinion. This movie pays great homage to the TV show produced by Rod Sterling. This film is a fantasy, sci-fi, horror, and I tend to believe that it is done in such a format that most ages can watch it. For a movie to be good it doesn't have to have gore. If a film can make you think differently about a situation then the writer director has accomplished a great job. The first story about the racist having to suffer the lives of those who he discriminated make you think outside the box about racism. The second is a light hearted tale where the elderly have a second chance at being young again, this segment is suitable for all ages. The third installment is just weird but exciting as cartoon elements are weaved into reality by a adolescent. The final tale, although it doesn't show a drop of blood is scary as hell. I recall watching this when I was a kid and I blame that darned gremlin ripping the plane apart to be my reason for hating to travel by aviation. Even to this day the gremlin and plane creep me out. I suggest, buy this, but do note there is not one drop of blood in this film, and although I am a gore hound, this collection is still worth the buy.
