Twilight Zone: The Movie Reviews
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.

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

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

Film4
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.
TV Guide's Movie Guide
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.

Despite the deaths, it's a decent film

CinePassion
The last two segments are genuine bits of magnificence
Common Sense Media
TV show is much better; some mature themes, violence.

Combustible Celluloid
Like all anthology films, this one has its high and low points, and not where you'd expect.
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.
Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN)
Uneven adaptation of classic TV series. Some stories work, others don't, but Scatman Crothers steals his vignette.
| Original Score: 3/5
Spirituality and Practice
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.
