I featured the host of Tales from the Third Dimension yesterday. The film features (duh) three tales, only the first of which is monster oriented. This really had the feel of episodes from an aborted TV pitch strung together into a film. It’s better than the actually-narrated-by-Rod-Serling Encounters with the Unknown, anyway. Although the first episode of that is a hoot.
Only the first episode of Dimension is monster-oriented, featuring very old-school zombies–wait, not zombies, if only I could remember what they are–who from their actions would have been caught and killed a loooong time ago. There’s a twist-ending you can see coming a mile away, especially if you grew up reading Creepy and Eerie comics. Still, this is the sort of thing exactly made for people like us, so there you go.
