ChicRawIdol A brilliant film that helped define a genre

Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Staci Frederick Blistering performances.

ToliBera2 I get that the Twilight Zone series as a concept is very reactionary; taking the concerns of the shows time periods and presenting them in alternate forms, but the original run, along with the 80-90's version seemed to have a much more deft hand in writing. to compare: look at the original version of "The Monsters are due on Maple Street" when compared to the 2002 remake. they're both running along similar lines, but the remake is much less subtle, and much deeper rooted in reactionary paranoia.it's interesting to see the twilight zone updated for the times, but the writing needs to be savvier, and take more care to lay out it's story's morals. I do hope they do another run of the series in the next ten years or so. Over all 7/10, needed work to give it longevity, but does well capturing that sense of the world at the start of the millennium.

Seb The original Twilight Zone was one of the best TV shows ever made. The writing was sharp and the ideas were fresh but more importantly tying the whole thing together was Rod Serling, a great presenter with real screen presence. So many movies and TV shows draw directly from his ideas that there should be a statue to the guy somewhere. I don't think many people would disagree that he was a unique and brilliant presenter and writer. But here's the bit that's going to make the majority of people go straight for the NO button on this review - a boss eyed staggering muttering black man is a poor replacement. No, not just poor, actually a pitiful replacement that renders this nearly unwatchable.If the actual stories were better then this wouldn't be the end of the world but they're not, they are generally badly written and have a modern gloss and finish that feels superficial and a cast that feels teen orientated. If you can't guess the ending within 5 minutes of the start of this show then there's something wrong with you because it's spelt out in sixty foot high letters right within the first five minutes. By contrast the original had stories that sometimes seemed to have an obvious ending but would twist your expectations. In short I just didn't like it at all, if you want to remake something classic then you should be thinking "can I at least equal the original?" and the answer with this one is an emphatic no. This is quite simply a bunch of cash grabbing talentless hacks riding the success of a far more talented writer.

radiopal Okay, I bought the DVD at Wal-Mart and then read the reviews on IMDb, I agree with everyone that this is nothing like Rod Serling's Twilight Zone. However, after watching 3 episodes, I decided to watch the shows not as the Twilight Zone, but as an anthology series (there have been several, Outer Limits, Hitch Hiker, Night Gallery to name a few) and the more that I watched, the more I enjoyed it. Yes, it can never be adequately compared to the original, nor should it be. But if you decide to give the series a try, watch it as a fun anthology series. I was even thrilled to see a couple of "tongue-in-cheek" episodes. It will definitely be worth watching that way.

nlstock This 2002 version of The Twilight Zone has been advertised as "with today's hippest young stars". Well,that just about sums up this travesty because The Twilight Zone is not supposed to be MTV. This 2002 version starts off with a rock music theme and then goes downhill from there. I have not seen one good episode. The original and much better versions of The Twilight Zone made from 1959-1965(and also from 1985-1987)had scripts written by science fiction writers and had all sorts of stories. This dreadful 2002 version does not and just has doom and gloom stories that are not very well written or very well produced. I note that some of the people that were responsible for making the new version of the Outer Limits into a soft-core porn show were also involved in this awful 2002 version of the Twilight Zone. They have no idea of story at all. They should be kept away from classic TV shows before they ruin any more.
