Avg Customer Rating: 
Product Description: 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

GIVE ME A BREAK !
I BOUGHT THIS TAPE THINKING IT WAS TWIGHT ZONE EPISODES BUT IT IS SOME OF THE WORST TRASH I HAVE EVER SEEN. ROD SERLING'S IDEAS WERE STOLEN AND REDONE INTO GARBAGE. I DON'T KNOW SPIELBERG AND WARNER BROS CAN GET AWAY WITH THIS CRIME. I HAVE BURNED MY COPY !

Slow and falls short
As a longtime fan of the original TV series, I was hoping great things from this movie. Unfortunately, what we had as a poor remake of one episode and poor imitations of the original series. It just did not give me the thrill and wonder of the original and seemed to fall flat. Perhaps nostalgia is too great in me to give this movie it's due but, unfortunately, I found it rather dull, predictable, and uninspiring compared to the original series.

Where is the DVD Warner Brothers???????
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!!!!

Entertaining... And thats about it.
The monster scene in the beginning was a hoot for me. To see these two famous comedic actors in a scary comedic skit is just great!The first segment is alright. Many say it ends to abruptly, but thats because the actor in it was killed in the final helicopter chase segment in Vietnam. So now you know, God rest his soul. The second one TRIES to be a spielberg awe production, but its to cutesy. What the hell was the third one, i forgot? The one with John Lithgow on the plane is worse than the original episode with William Shatner himself! The only improvement is Lithgows acting (sorry, will). But the reason I rate this movie to begin with is the ending. You know, in the beginning Dan Akroyd asks if his friend in the car wants to see a little trick, and turns into a monster and kills him! Then, in the end, John Lithgow is being taken away in the ambulance, and the driver begins talking to him. Suddenly the driver asks if he would like to see a little trick...
