Reviews for Twilight Zone: The Movie
Plays much like a traditional vaudeville card, what with its tantalizing teaser opening followed by three sketches of increasing quality, all building up to a socko headline act.

Top CriticA frightfully lopsided omnibus that begins with two wretched episodes by John Landis and Steven Spielberg and finishes with an engrossing pair by Joe Dante and George Miller.

...doesn't quite capture the magic of the old television series, but it makes a good stab at trying.

Like all anthology films, this one has its high and low points, and not where you'd expect.

Four big-name directors were each to helm a segment, but only Dante's cheerfully manic It's a Good Life and Miller's claustrophobic Nightmare at 20,000 Feet really pass muster.
