TWILIGHT ZONE- THE MOVIE is remarkably true to the spirit of the television series upon which it is based. The fact that three of the four segments are actually REMAKES of classic episodes (and are all brilliantly directed, if you ask me) goes a long way towards explaining WHY the movie's so True to its Source- but these are well-thought-out remakes as opposed to just rehashes; and the Landis episode would've made an excellent episode of the original series as well: it, too, is True to the Spirit of the Source. (The best episode of the revived teleseries itself was the William Friedkin version of Robert R. McCammon's NIGHTCRAWLERS, although it was one in a million... and there WEREN'T a million episodes, if you see what I'm saying...) Any fan of the original series will love this one.
