A 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.

Reviews for Twilight Zone: The Movie
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.

Even with big name additions and direction and huge budgets, this project was destined for mediocrity.

Flawed and uneven, though George Miller's finale is a hoot.

The surprising thing is, the two superstar directors are thoroughly routed by two less-known directors whose previous credits have been horror and action pictures.

Uneven adaptation of classic TV series. Some stories work, others don't, but Scatman Crothers steals his vignette.

Twilight Zone takes us back to Rod Serling's television dimension where things are not what they seem and fate is full of devious twists and turns.
