Why it’s HorroRated
Four directors, four very different approaches, and at least two segments that are legitimately great. Dante's is unnerving and George Miller's airplane window creature is pure tension from start to finish. The anthology format means the weaker parts are short. Worth it for those two alone.
Synopsis
Spielberg, Landis, Dante, and Miller each direct a segment adapting stories from the original Twilight Zone series. Dante's piece about a child who controls reality with his wishes is deeply unnerving, and Miller's airplane window creature is pure tension from start to finish. The format means the weaker parts are short and the strong ones are substantial.
