Overview

Twilight Zone: The Movie (1983)

Four separate stories in one movie. First a racist businessman gets the tables turned on him when he is transported back in time to being pursued by Nazis in 1940's France, becomes an African-American at a KKK rally in the 1950's South, and and then a Vietnamese in 1960s Vietnam. The second story centers around an old man who makes the wishes of residents at a retirement home come true when he transforms them into youthful versions of themselves. In the third story a young woman on the road gives a ride to a little boy and ends up trapped with other people in an alternate reality created by the boy's imagination. And in the final story a man on a plane sees, but cannot convince anyone else that a mysterious creature is on the outside wing of the plane trying to sabotage the aircraft.

Twilight Zone: The Movie Blu-ray Movie Review

John Landis still sucks.

Reviewed by Randy Miller III January 4, 2026

Quietly re-released on Blu-ray after being out-of-print for several years, Warner Bros. has once again issued 1983's controversial Twilight Zone: The Movie, co-directed by John Landis, Steven Spielberg, Joe Dante, and George Miller. Sadly, though, this is the same old VC-1 encoded disc from 2007, but at least it's a lot cheaper to pick up now.


For a synopsis and critique of the film, please see Martin Liebman's 2008 Blu-ray review. I'm in total agreement with Marty's take on the film: there's some enjoyment to be found here, but most of it is tied to the original material that each anthology-style short basically remakes with a bigger budget. The bottom line? I would have gladly traded it for the lives of Vic Morrow, Myca Dinh Le, and Renee Shin-Yi Chen, who all needlessly died during production.

For details about this Blu-ray's 1080p presentation (which, like it or not, is the exact same generally flat VC-1 encoded transfer from the earlier out-of-print Blu-ray), please see Martin Liebman's 2008 review.

Likewise, details about the LPCM 5.1 audio can be found at the above-linked review.


Twilight Zone: The Movie Blu-ray Movie, Special Features and Extras  0.5 of 5

Same as before, this one-disc release ships in a regular keepcase with poster-themed cover artwork; likewise, only the Original Theatrical Trailer is included here as a bonus feature.


Twilight Zone: The Movie Blu-ray Movie, Overall Score and Recommendation  3.0 of 5

Co-directed by John Landis, Steven Spielberg, Joe Dante, and George Miller (one year after making a splash in America with The Road Warrior), 1983's Twilight Zone: The Movie has been rightly overshadowed by the tragic on-set deaths of actors Vic Morrow, Myca Dinh Le, and Renee Shin-Yi Chen, who were killed by Landis' carelessness during a climactic action sequence shot late at night. Underneath all the controversy is a sadly kind of lukewarm film, one that basically repurposes a quartet of classic Twilight Zone shorts with a higher budget and occasional story expansions. WB's 2008 Blu-ray has been out-of-print for a while now, and this re-release is nothing more than a recycled disc.
