  Review by Jordan Beaumont Anderson ½ 27

  These motherfuckers literally had a meeting where they decided that it was more fiscally expedient to release a movie that edited around the death of a man and two children instead of dropping a single segment of an anthology film.

  There isn't a work of art in the history of humanity that is worth more than a human life, let alone a cynical corporate product.

  Fuck this and fuck them.

  Review by Will Menaker ★★★ 5

  The film that inspired my favorite tweet of all time: DanK's "helicopter parent" reply to Max Landis.

  The George Miller and Joe Dante segments were the best by far.

  The Landis segment has the stink of death all over it but you get to see John Larroquette drop the hard-R

  The Spielberg episode features the residents of a nursing home turned into children by Scatman Crothers and they immediately start talking about sex. Interesting.

  The Dante and Miller segments are good, but that doesn’t even remotely make up for the fact that something unforgivable occurred during the making of this film (I refer, of course, to Steven Spielberg’s Kick the Can). I was going to observe that the Landis segment is strangely one-note and doesn’t build on its premise, but then I remembered that this is because Landis killed Vic Morrow and two children while filming his climax, and then was acquitted in a travesty of justice.

  Feels kind of gross to review a movie where children died while making it and they still thought releasing the movie was a good idea.

  Because surprise, it was a terrible fucking idea.

  “Twilight Zone: the Movie” is only disturbing in its daring to create a world where everything you once loved… is the same; just - a little bit worse. 

  The quadruple directed and multi-segmented film doesn’t pay homage to, or even reinterpret the iconic show from which it takes its title. It robs the most lauded episodes from the series and replicates them - nearly exactly, but with the soul sucked entirely out. Truly, this is the grimmest of all visits to the fabled Twilight Zone. 

  There is little correspondence or theming between the shorts directed by: John Landis, Stephen Spielberg, Joe Dante, and George Miller, other than that they all steal from the same source material: episodes of the original…

  Review by Justin Decloux ★★★½ 4

  What the fuck were they thinking including the John Landis segment?

  The last two are top-shelf, but the rot of death permeates everything that comes before.

  Review by Josh Lewis ★★ 3

  A cursed object I've honestly been avoiding despite loving the genre-bending unpredictably and creepy, economical style of Rod Serling's original show that always managed to sneak some sort of grim civics lesson or fun and clever twist into legitimate paranormal sci-fi horror mini-thrillers. Obviously due to the fact that I assumed it would be impossible to separate from John Landis' infamous on set negligence that resulted in the horrific deaths of Vic Morrow and two children... and what do you know? It was! Partially because they made the baffling decision to leave the unfinished, half-baked "what if an extremely irredeemably racist man was hoisted with his own petard!" original segment in anyway. (And with no dedication or memorial to any…

  Action!: The Caps Of Mr. Spielberg

  After directing what many consider a landmark movie in the form of ET. the Extra-Terrestrial, Spielberg was at the top of his game and though it all end up in the worst way possible, one can't blame Steven for trying out on making a movie based on the iconic TV series created by Rod Sterling. It stick in many ways to his sensibilities and the film manages to bring back certain magic elements of the original show - though even when the current revival by Peele is good, I guess it wouldn't be any controversial for me to say any of the attempts have never managed to catch the brilliance.

  I could go on…
