Editorial Review:
Amazon.com: A highly anticipated release for fantasy fans in the summer of 1983, Twilight Zone: The Movie presents three adaptations of classic episodes (and one original story) from Rod Serling's anthology series by a quartet of the biggest directors in Hollywood. With Stephen Spielberg (also the film's co-producer), John Landis, George Miller (The Road Warrior, Happy Feet), and Joe Dante behind the camera for this portmanteau feature, one might expect Serling's episodes to positively gleam with star power, but the truth is that Twilight Zone: The Movie is a hit-and-miss affair. Landis opens with an amusing nod to the original series' pop-culture appeal with Dan Aykroyd and Albert Brooks riffing on their favorite episodes before a hair-raising shock finale; unfortunately, his second offering is a bland morality plan about racial tolerance that will forever be overshadowed by the accident that claimed the lives of star Vic Morrow and two child actors during shooting. Spielberg's take on George Clayton Johnson's "Kick the Can" looks lovely and is well performed by its cast (especially Scatman Crothers), but it struggles to bear up under the weight of treacley sentiment so common to the director's films at the time. Dante's version of Jerome Bixby's "It's A Good Life" (about a boy with monstrous powers) is rife with his trademark energy and black humor (and his cast of regular players, including Kevin McCarthy and William Schallert, strike the right balance of terror and comedy). But it's Miller's revamp of Richard Matheson's legendary "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet" that delivers the biggest payoff, thanks to John Lithgow's super-charged turn as a nervous airline passenger who's convinced he's seen a monster tampering with the plane's wing. Burgess Meredith (himself a veteran of the original TZ) provides narration; the widescreen DVD features no extras save for the original trailer and a remastered digital transfer. --Paul Gaita

I've been a huge fan of Twilight Zone for a long time now but never really got around to watch this film. I'm glad I did because while this film had moments, it was an overall disappointment. The start of the film was good but Aykroyd turning into a monster at the start of the film made me scratch my head.
The first film is surrounded in contraversy because the actor died on set. It started off pretty good with a man getting passed over for a promotion and he runs down races. He gets ... Read More

Twilight Zone - the Movie is a bit of a mess as a film. Only the last two segments are any good, along with the humorous introduction before the title sequence. The original Twilight Zone episodes were much better.
If you like the film, though, you can't do much better than to get the Blu-ray version. It looks the best by far, as if the film was shot and printed recently. Clarity and detail look great, especially considering the age of the film.
The only extra included is ... Read More

I first saw this film on Chiller, and I liked it a lot. I was happy to see that when I went to Target, I saw this on the Best-Seller wall! This movie can be funny and kind of creepy at the same time! I love the beginning, with the two guys humming theme songs.... "Do you want to see something really scary?" I like the last segmant. It is a little racial in the first segmant, but that doesn't matter. I love this movie, and I hope it is going to do great in the future.

Even though this is the film where the traggic accident with the late Vic Morrow occured - it still had the big screen flavor of the classic series.
Divided into four stories with a book-end open and close, Joe Danta, John Landis, George Miller and Steven Spielberg each direct their stories of magic, fun and the world only known best as Rod Serling's THE TWILIGHT ZONE.
My favorite story is called "Kick The Can" and stars the late Scatman Crothers as a man with a mission - ... Read More

The Bottom Line:
A misbegotten film that has nothing to offer fans of the show, neophytes, or anyone else, The Twilight Zone movie is poorly made and only worth watching for TZ fans who have to see it so they can say they hate it for themselves.
