The Twilight Zone: The Movie

  • Year: 1983

  • Country: USA

  • Directors: John Landis, Stephen Spielberg, Joe Dante and George Miller.

  • Format: Antologia

  • Version: DVDRip

  • Synopsis: Four stories based on episodes classics from the legendary TV series The Twilight Zone counted by four different directors.


    Initial Impression: The first two stories are pretty boring ... but the other two are great!


    Script and Development: We one by one ... after an intro in which there is really nothing happens (despite the good work of his two actors) and that lasts too long, we have the first story (John Landis) , in which a racist man should suffer the same as those people faced both criticism: the Holocaust, an attack by the KKK and Vietnam, but this story is incomplete and unsatisfactory.
    The second story is Spielberg, about old men who yearn for his childhood and the desire to meet them ... could not be more bored by the predictable it is.


    Fortunately this sad picture changes in the third story, about a boy who ... well, I will not tell, but nonetheless have already parodied everywhere. It is very good, because it intrigues and colorful characters, but it's the end that makes it what it is thanks to the madness that it explodes.

    brings us to the last story, one of which we have all heard by hundreds of parodies, in which a nervous man in a plane shows that there is a Gremlin in one wing of sabotaging the engines. Yet despite knowing how it ends is full of tension and horror, is definitely the best of the four and should be liable for any fan of horror.


    management and technical aspects: As directed by four different people is obvious that the styles and quality vary greatly, but is rather curious that they are those of John Landis and Steven Spielberg the least stand by their generic scenarios and little work, while for example the Joe Dante is very, very attractive from all sides, the house is great and shows how the world would look like a cartoon in real life is very good (and scary) . The creatures are amazing as is the lighting.
    But Miller's story is not far behind. To develop only in a plane is full of great energy, and the creature and special effects are top jobs.


    Actions: The elders of the second story are quite friendly and do a very good job (but not children), and the family of Anthony in the second story are also aberrant and fun.

    But the boss is John Litgow stop as the lead in the fourth story (of the Gremlin on the wing). But we could not expect less from Trinity Killer, no?


    Reflections: The only of the stories that got me thinking is the first. I have nothing against Jews, blacks and Asians much less ... but ... I look like me? the movie was trying to say something like "do not put ourselves with them because they have suffered much in history" and that I did not seem an acceptable justification to. You have to respect each person individually for what it is, but defined in terms of "the stories of our private race" is still ridiculous.


    • The Good: The last two stories, especially the last one, are excellent.

    • Bad: the first two.

    • Ugly: An accident during production, which claimed the life of the protagonist d ela first story and two children.
