Feature film science-fiction / horror / fantasy anthology movie based on the classic TV series. There are four tales; three are based on actual episodes that aired. The original material are the prologue and segment 1, written by John Landis.
I'll give you a review for each segment:
Prologue: Dan Aykroyd and Albert Brooks play two guys in a car who try to entertain themselves while driving at night. Funny at first, gets kind of annoying (especially when they start humming the TV themes) but has a good payoff.
1) Vic Morrow plays Bill Connor, an unrepentant racist and bigot who gets a dose of his own intolerance when he is mistaken for a Jew, an African-American, and a Vietnamese man. This segment is pretty entertaining, with a good performance by Morrow. Unfortunately, the thing about this segment that most people will remember was the tragic accident that killed Morrow and two young extras.
2) Scatman Crothers plays Mr. Bloom, a mysterious man who arrives at an old folks home and gives the seniors a chance to relive their childhood. Pretty benign and uplifting; it doesn't seem to fit in with the other segments but I still liked it.
3) Kathleen Quinlan plays Helen Foley, a traveling schoolteacher who makes the acquaintance of strange young Anthony (Jeremy Licht) who can bend reality to suit his whims and whose "family" lives in mortal terror of him. As befitting the work of Joe Dante, this is pretty twisted. Amusingly designed, with good visual effects. Look for Nancy Cartwright (the voice of Bart Simpson) as "Ethel" and Bill Mumy (who played the boy in the original TV episode) as a diner patron.
4) John Lithgow plays John Valentine, a horrified airplane passenger on a stormy flight who discovers a monster is at work destroying the airplane's engines. Well, you know what they say, "save the best for last"...this is very well done, very eerie. Makes a good impact.
All in all, I really liked this movie. If you're a fan of any of these actors or film-makers, check it out.
I wasn't able to grow up watching "The Twilight Zone" but I think I've caught an occasional rerun on TV. It WAS a good show.
