Twilight Zone: The Movie - 40th Anniversary

CLOSING NIGHT CELEBRATION

(Directors: John Landis, Steven Spielberg, Joe Dante, George Miller; USA, 101mins)

“You are about to enter another dimension; a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land of imagination. Next stop, the Twilight Zone…”

Rod Serling’s iconic television anthology - a landmark fantasy work that remains a fan favourite to this day - was one of the first series to be adapted for the big screen. In 1983, four directors at the height of their creativity - John Landis (An American Werewolf in London); Steven Spielberg (Raiders of the Lost Ark); Joe Dante (The Howling); and, George Miller (Mad Max 2) - channelled their love for the show into a film of thrilling imagination, giddy fun and spine-tingling chills.
