This review is from: Twilight Zone (Mass Market Paperback)

Novelisation of the anthology format movie.

Robert Bloch, in an interesting choice, takes the three screenplays for the various parts of this movie and puts them into book form. Not overly long, basically like episodes of a tv show. You wouldn't have thought that, would you? Just a garden variety job as far as this one goes, however.

This review is from: Twilight Zone (Mass Market Paperback)

The legendary Robert Bloch penned this adaptation of the four story segments in Twilight Zone: The Movie. The opening and closing bookends are absent though, so it reads more like an anthology of longish short stories than a single narrative. As far as novelizations go this is pretty average stuff. The usual differences between film and novelization are skimpy, the order of the stories is not the same and some of the events in the notorious John Landis episode offer a glimpse at what may have been attempted had Vic Morrow not died during filming. Outside of a few of his trademarked word play zingers Bloch can do little to liven up the below average material he has to work with. So what was the point? I mean this is ROBERT BLOCH, author of Psycho and countless classic stories. Why waste time with this project? It had to have been the money. Bloch addicts may want this only for a complete library of the master's work, others should just stay with the mediocre movie. Can't recommend it.
