This episode was extremely deep and I can seriously relate to it.

A great short film. I loved the Twilight Zone growing up, I caughted the 50-60's reruns in the early 80's. The Outter Limits would come on after it.

This wasn’t actually a Twilight Zone episode. Lost or otherwise, but a short movie based on Twilight’s format. The title is misleading. Good try and I wish the creators luck in their pursuit of the industry. Just be more clear and not so misleading with your titles and thumbnails.

Look, From a cinematic standpoint it was indeed well done. However, Im a VERY tough critic when it comes to the Twilight Zone. With that said I would keep it separate. It would not come close. nice try though. Not nearly enough Irony. The beginning dragged leading up to a somewhat interesting middle. then to a blank ending. A slight rip off "A nervous man in a four-dollar room" but dont give up.

@MistyMoon112 9 ай бұрын

( short FAN film ) sometimes words mean exactly what they say.. at the very top and also 3 lines in - inspired - Cinemug - indeed but also due respect as a Twilight Zone episode ? some mug face asks - as young ppl say - that would be a def yes - top drawer 🌹 The Padgett Messages by James E. Padgett 1914 are also inspired.

While I thought this movie was pretty good, putting Long Lost Twilight Zone Episode in the title was deceiving. Maybe Twilight Zone inspired would be more accurate...

Pretty good. But an inconsistency. The kid was going to originally be executed with a semiautomatic handgun, but he also had a rotary dial telephone.

@Cinemug Жыл бұрын

It’s not inconsistent at all. The Colt 1911 was a semiautomatic handgun created back in 1911, and rotary phones were used up until around the 1980s. This short film is inspired by the original Twilight Zone series spanning from 1959-1964. Theres even been a couple of episodes in the first season where this same handgun was used.

I honestly never heard of that episode until a few months ago when someone mentioned it in the comments! I never got to watching Twilight Zone seasons post Rod Serling, but I honestly wasn’t too surprised there was something similar to this made already. I’m just glad it didn’t have a firework/gunshot twist 😅

Deceptive. This is nothing compared to the original show. The title is a click bait lie.

Wow, a show with a full studio, crew, and budget is better than a short film made by one person with no budget at home. Imagine that. And I think most people who enjoy The Twilight Zone would enjoy this short. Not everyone though. So I’m sorry that you didn’t like it.

"Long Lost..." my %!@$#!😒 OK, it was a cute little film, but rudely misrepresenting itself was almost enough to make me turn it off. The overly generic props and costumes just proved the lie. I'll admit the story was pointed, resonant, and even fairly well told. That's why I kept watching. I could have really applauded if it had been offered up honestly as an independent film admiringly patterned off of the endearing classic "Twilight Zone" series. Too bad. Hollywood is hurting for talent. Some of the best movies I've seen in recent years have been independent and foreign films. Independent film makers: Tinsel Town is losing its glitter and the field is wide open for new talent. There are a lot of us viewers who are bored or jaded by Hollywood, or just plain sick of being force fed social controversies as politically correct norms. Be bold, be proud, and seriously, be honest! You'll be surprised at the following.🥰

@Cinemug 10 ай бұрын

Dude, it’s a one-man crew fan film with zero budget. If I was able to have better props, costumes, and locations, I would have. And I’m a big fan of the Twilight Zone series, so I wanted to try and make my own episode using the same structure. I don’t understand why people always have to complain about something.
