"Twilight Zone" Revisited

Rating: Null/10 (29 September 2000)

I am still amazed by how many movies (usually those of the horror and suspense genre) are similar to "Twilight Zone" episodes. Watch a few "Twilight Zone" episodes and you will see just where the writers of the movies "Poltergeist", "Magic", "Liar Liar", "Mannequin", etc., etc. might have gotten their ideas. "Final Destination" seems to have picked up where an old "Twilight Zone" episode (entitled "Twenty Two") left off. The last ten minutes of this classic "Zone" are almost identical to the beginning of "Final Destination". Check it out. It's eerie. That said, "Final Destination" is fun. It's definitely not the "scariest movie ever" as I was told by many friends, but if gore is what you're after, "Final Destination" will fit the bill.
