Movie Reviews of Twilight Zone - The Movie
Movie Review: very good 80's filmmaking
Summary: 5 Stars
The music, the directing style, the special effects, the lighting...that's right, it's the 80's, 1983 specifically, that brings us Twilight Zone the Movie.
Yeah, as many have said, it was Spielberg's "optimistic" era of filmmaking, he had just finished making E.T. prior... and so as many people point out his episode "Kick the Can" is very childlike and easily the most optimistic, or "sunny", of the 4 segments (the style of this episode was to me a blueprint for a lot of what later would become "Amazing Stories")
In the meantime, the other stories are scarier...Of course the movie starts off with the famous John Landis segment (sadly, mostly remembered for the tragic accident) with the late Vic Morrow as the racist who suddenly learns what it is like to be on the other side of racism. It is directed in 80's Landis style and is not unlike his other films of that time as far as style goes, except for the serious tone of the subject. Landis mostly made comedies in the 80's "Spies Like Us", "Into the Night" etc,..which makes this episode interesting to see...
Then there is the third segment with the creepy kid who can make anything he thinks of happen...this segment has some real nightmarish interesting design going on (the house having a picture on the wall of a family with no faces, etc), like a slightly nightmarish cartoon, and Yep the future voice of Bart Simpson Nancy Cartright is the ticked off older "sister"...the way the kid manipulates these adults into being his surrogate "family" is creepy and suspenseful, yet funny. The mechanical special effects of Athnony's "cartoon-like monsters" (created by effects expert Rob Bottin) for sure harken back to the 80's in the days before CGI. But to me, models and mechanical effects make the movies of the 80's what they were, and adds to the nostalgia factor in some ways...obviously the EFX, if the film was made now, would all be CGI ...anyways, Joe Dante who directed this segment would go on to make the much more successful Gremlins and so this is a sort of precursor to that idea
The final story is as everyone says the best....John Lithgow as the worst nervous flyer ever known (besides me, I hate flying)-This is one of the most memorable movie roles he ever did.... The gremlin on the wing of the plane is a trippy looking little creature...the directing, acting, & suspense in this sequence are the best of the 4 stories for sure-cool work from George Miller
I saw this movie in the Theaters back when I was a 13 year old kid. As a movie fan who grew up during the heyday of Spielberg and George Lucas, I guess I consider this movie a classic for it's 80's "throwback" style...but I think it's production stands the test of time pretty well....I am glad to see this film on DVD and I hope there will be at least a few special features
