How's this for a Twilight Zone kind of irony? The movie version of Rod Serling's landmark sci-fi TV series turns out to be less memorable than the episodes upon which it was based. Despite the presence of four of-that-moment directors, the film--based on three TV episodes and one original idea--is remembered more for its prologue (starring Dan Aykroyd and Albert Brooks) and for its offscreen tragedy (the death of star Vic Morrow and two children when a helicopter crashed while filming a key scene). Otherwise, the film's high-gloss production values only serve to mire the old, solid stories. The best segment of the film centers on John Lithgow as a deliriously overexcited airline passenger, whose very active fear of flying is embodied in the gremlin he (and only he) sees on the plane's wing, wreaking havoc with the film's engine. --Marshall Fine

5.0 out of 5 stars Where is the DVD Warner Brothers???????, March 31, 2005

This review is from: Twilight Zone [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I've been waiting for this movie to be released on DVD ever since DVD's started being produced in the early 1990's!! What is the hold up?? Why is Warner Brothers dragging their feet on this?? It's absolutely inexcusable! I'm tired of waiting for them! ALL of the versions of the TV show have been released to disc now, or are in the process of being released on disc. I would have thought the MOVIE would have been released FIRST!!! As another customers review has stated, this is a modern classic! The controversy surrounding the death of Vic Morrow during it's production ALONE should warrant it's release to disc, let alone the fact that it's got Steven Spielberg's stamp on it!
We've waited long enough Warner Brothers! Announce a release date soon, or YOU will be cast into the deepest, darkest corner of.....The Twilight Zone!!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars "Do You Wanna See Something Really Scary?", February 14, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Twilight Zone [VHS] (VHS Tape)

That line is the best of them all in this movie. An all-star cast brings you into the Twilight Zone in a magnificent way. Yes, the monsters may look crude to todays standard, but you see them only in breif glimpses, it doesn't matter. The only sad thing (besides the actor who got killed in the making of this movie, Vic Morrow) is that they left an opening for a sequel, and they have yet to make one. END
