Featured review
Probably the best on disc one....not that this is a glowing endorsement.
I love TV anthology shows--especially the ones from the 1950s and 60s. I have watched quite a few of these lately--all either from DVDs from Netflix or from archive.org. However, after seeing disc one of "Thriller", I am apprehensive to get another. While you MIGHT think the shows are about the supernatural and are very similar to "The Twilight Zone", they are nothing like that--at least in the early episodes. I've read from one reviewer that the show DID later become like that--but I am not sure I have the patience to wade through any more mediocre shows like I just watched on disc one.
Of the five episodes on disc one, "The Mark of the Hand" might be the best...though this isn't exactly a glowing endorsement. It's interesting, though also rather predictable.
The show begins with a murder--and it appears as if a cute little girl did it. However, the family tries to stop or at least slow down the investigation by the police--and the police are not about to ignore a shooting just because a little kid might have done it.
As you watch this show, the viewer is led right to the plot twist--and you see it coming and can predict what will occur. This is very, very weak and despite some good performances, I can't see this as anything more than a time passer.
