The Twilight Zone: Vol. 18 Reviews
The Final Frontier and the Civil War.
This 18th Volume of THE TWILIGHT ZONE doesn't include any must see episodes. The second episode featured on the disc is worth the money because of an excellent performance by Jack Klugman and the third episode revolves around an intriguing Civil War-based story. The three episodes on the disc are:
"I Shot an Arrow Into the Air"--the first manned space mission ends up crashing on an unchartered asteroid, killing all but three of the crew. The three astronauts find the environment harsh and hot with only five gallons of water to spare among them. Established rules and norms soon come crashing down as the remains of the crew find themselves in setting that quickly becomes just like THE LORD OF THE FLIES. Out of the three episodes on the disc, this was my 2nd favorite. The equipment and costumes date this episode greatly and the premise of the story is quite farfetched, especially since we've now been to space. However, at the time of the episode's initial airing, Sputnik was only two-and-a-half-years-old and the Space Race hadn't really started.
"Death Ship"--three astronauts scouting for hospitable planets for harvesting and possible colonization come across a crashed space craft almost identical to their own. Inside, they discover duplicate bodies of themselves and try to figure out the difference between what has already happened and what is happening. Jack Klugman stars as the willful and determined Captain Ross. Despite the strong performance of Klugman, this was my least favorite of the episodes on this disc.
"Still Valley"--a Confederate scout enters a town where an entire Union company stands as still as statues. The valley's lone waking occupant reveals what has happened to the scout, promising him that the Confederacy can win the war if they just follow his plan. But to do so requires enlisting an ally of wayward means. This short, but intriguing story is my favorite episode on the disc.
The only extras featured on this DVD are a collection of written features entitled "Inside the Twilight Zone". Some of the information here is both interesting and informative for fans of THE TWILIGHT ZONE, but most others will find it completely trivial.
Really good DVD
"I shot and arrow into the air". Three astronauts crash land on what they think is another planet, and one of them kills the other two for water.
"Death ship". Three astronauts land on another planet and see a duplicate of their ship, with their dead bodies inside it!
"Still Valley". A civil war scout comes upon a town where everybody is frozen in place. It turns out they are under a spell by an old man with a black magic book.
