4.0 out of 5 stars The Unquiet Dead Is The Theme For This Twilight Zone, May 16, 1999

By

This review is from: The Twilight Zone: Vol. 6 (DVD)

Fisrt off, let me tell you that I am not a huge fan of the Twilight Zone. My favorites are a few space, alien, or time type stories.

This one is about the dead.

The Passerby is about a road home from the Civil War. People are coming home from the war and all pass by this one womans house. She is searching frantically for her husband. Unfortunately all who pass by are dead! I loved this.

The Grave is a western styled episode. A hired gun finally catches up with his prey, but only after he had alread died. Then he finds out the man placed a curse on him. This was another good one.

Deaths-Head Revisited is about a former Nazi who goes back to the camp he worked at to relive the good ol' days. There he finds his long dead victims. This was good too.

The Last Rites of Jeff Myrtlebank is the story of a man who wakes up in his coffin during his funeral. The townsfolk freak out and think he is a ghost or something. This one started out really good, but the end is bad.

The DVD contains a bunch of extras (all text based). Bios, season-by-season commentary and reviews, etc. The menus are really cool at first, but are slow to load and become tiresome when flipping from feature to feature.

This review is from: The Twilight Zone: Vol. 6 (DVD)

From my teens this is one of the series that I more fondly remember. As a sci-fi fan I was attracted by "The Twilight Zone" proposal. At that time I wasn't able to see more than a score of episodes, but they remain in my memory with extraordinary persistence.
Thanks to the technological marvel of DVD I'm able to see these amazing stories again and find them as magical & thought provoking as 45 years ago.
As the structure of the episodes are mostly bounded to a surprise ending or to the argument in a very short span of time of 25 minutes each, I'll focus my review more on outstanding features than on the topic of the episode in order not to spoil the pleasure of the viewer.

Disk 6 contains four good chapters with intermixing themes: Ghosts, Tombs & Fear.

1) Deaths-Head Revisited - An ex-SS officer decides to pay a visit to an old concentration camp. He will find it changed!
This is an episode written by Rod Sterling in person delivering a forceful story that seeks deeply in human emotions, justice & retribution.
Actor's performance is over par: 1938 Oscar winner Joseph Schildtkraut fleshes an ex-internee and Hungarian Oscar Berengi Jr. the sinister ex-SS Captain, both are supreme.
Qualification: 8.

2) The Grave - One of the high points of this episode is the appearance of Lee Marving in the leading role as Conny Miller the frustrated pursuer, very well accompanied by western specialists as James Best, Lee Van Cleef and Strother Martin.
The story is situated in the Far West when Conny Miller returns to his hometown and learns that his always elusive prey, Pinto Sykes, has been killed but before dying asserted that Conny was afraid of him and that he will wait for him in his tomb.
Once more as in other episodes brilliant cinematography in charge of George Clemens contributes to the excellence of this chapter. Clemens won Emmy Award 1961 and nominations for the same honor 1962 & 1963 all due to several episodes of this series. He filmed 112 episodes of this series.
Qualification: 8.

3) The Last Rites of Jeff Myrteblanck - When a community was assisting to the funeral Jeff, he suddenly rise up from his coffin generating stampede.
Afterwards, every people in town, including his fiancée, is wondering who or what he is.
This is, arguably, the best episode in the DVD, full of subtleties in how the fear spreads into the neighborhood and lead to a final confrontation with Jeff.
As in the previous episode Montgomery Pittman directed and wrote it with great success. BTW actress Sherry Jackson performing as Jeff's bride is his stepdaughter.

Qualification: 9.

4) The Passerby- Again Rod Sterling shows his master hand in writing the script, insufflates a magic, tender and melancholic air to the whole episode.
Veteran actor James Gregory fleshes the Sergeant very convincingly.
The story is situated just after the end of the Civil War when an endless flow of worn troops pass by the gates of a ruined southern mansion and a Sergeant ask leave of the lady owner to have a cup of water and a little rest.
Qualification: 8.5.

This DVD series presentation has two great advantages: it has a very good price and allows buyers to choose their favorite chapters without needing to buy the whole series.
