Twilight Zone: The Movie
An anthology film presenting remakes of three episodes from the "Twilight Zone" TV series—"Kick the Can", "It's a Good Life" and "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet"—and one original story, "Time Out."
Critics Sentiment
John Lithgow sees a monstrous creature destroying the airplane wing
Mr Bloom arrives at Sunnyvale Retirement Home and meets the residents
The film recovers dramatically from Spielberg's weak retirement home segment to Dante's frightening and well-crafted Anthony segment, jumping 2.5 points.
The anthology film starts strong with a memorable prologue but becomes uneven through its middle segments, with Spielberg's retirement home story particularly criticized as boring and syrupy. The film redeems itself with Dante's visually stunning horror segment and culminates in Lithgow's universally praised airplane nightmare, which critics consistently called the film's saving grace.
