The film itself is the most solid three star I've ever seen. Nothing inspiring, nothing surprising, but worthy production and acting values in the retelling. A sad and tragic footnote to this film were the deaths of Vic Morrow and two child actors during the filming (the copter got forced down on top of them by improper pyrotechnics).

Back in the day this was great. The stories still make you think but the technology is far surpassed and leaves you thinking "cheesy".

Having seen this movie numerous times "back in the day," and really enjoying it, watching it again now, it may not hold up quite as well as it did then. Regardless, a fun movie never-the-less, with the high point being the final of the 4 segments. A real thriller! The Blu-Ray on the other hand is a major disappointment. The picture, while decent, is not up to what should be offered, the sound is mediocre at best, and as for extras, a trailer. That's it. Worth watching? Sure. Worth owning? Not by a long shot.
