In the tradition of Twilight Zone comes this supernatural/sci-fi anthology hosted by Norman Fell. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi
Three half-hour stories combined into a trilogy.
The common thread is the three protagonists share a bus ride "that can take
you places you can't even imagine".
The Classic
The first story is about a classic MG that talks - but only its owner can hear HIM. A possessed car - John Carpenter's Christine, anyone ? The car's voice reminds me of the God voice over character in "A World without Men"... However this car is more of a Cyrano de Bergerac character - telling the guy what to tell his gal to win her back...
- Director: Alain Zaloum
- Leads: Mark Ruel & Beth Lachance
Kitchen Culture
The second story line is original - Frank, a young bachelor, finds a new friend in his refrigerator. But the legless creature is taking over his life... An original idea and a good script make this one well worth watching. The make-up special effects on the creature is a sight to behold.
- Director: Tom Parkinson
- Leads: Michael Burns & Russell J. Yvan
Too Good To Be True
The third story was also original for its time - a gal is looking for Mr. Right by buying into the Perfect Match Computer Dating Service. The interviewer explains how their service helped thousands of people so far. The dating service finds Mr. Right until she catches him making a phone call ... And his arm starts to twitch while bowling...and he turns out to be a know it all... but worst of all - she finds out how the Perfect Match Computer Dating Service find their perfect matches!
