In the pilot of the television series Night Gallery (1969), Rod Serling introduces three separate paintings, each with its own story of uncanny vengeance against evil to tell. The first, "The Cemetery", involves a black sheep nephew (Roddy McDowall) who murders his rich uncle to inherit his fortune - both much to the detriment of the uncle's butler (Ossie Davis) - only to find that vengeance extends beyond the grave. In the second story, "Eyes", a rich, heartless woman (Joan ... (Full plot summary below)

In the pilot of the television series Night Gallery (1969), Rod Serling introduces three separate paintings, each with its own story of uncanny vengeance against evil to tell. The first, "The Cemetery", involves a black sheep nephew (Roddy McDowall) who murders his rich uncle to inherit his fortune - both much to the detriment of the uncle's butler (Ossie Davis) - only to find that vengeance extends beyond the grave. In the second story, "Eyes", a rich, heartless woman (Joan Crawford) who has been blind from birth blackmails an aspiring surgeon and a man who desperately needs money to give her a pair of eyes which will allow her to see for the first time - even though for only half a day's time - only to have the plan backfire on her in ways she never imagined. In the third story, "The Escape Route", a Nazi war criminal (Richard Kiley) is hiding from the authorities in South America, where he is confronted with his past demons and a curious Holocaust survivor (Sam Jaffe) and finds solace only in a serene painting in a museum, wanting nothing more than to enter into that world and stop running.

| User ReviewMorpheus OThis is the first Of The first It Has Not made it to dvd With This cover But I still felt the urge to wright a review of it anyway.. Many Big Names Are in this It was Like They where drawn to this small project like bees to hunny !! And From watching You can tell they had a great time :) I Dont agree With the last reviewer Roddy McDowall Was NOT Irritating He was Young And Hungry! He whent on to make Some of my fave movies Including Fright Night :p |
| User ReviewMark SExcellent horror anthology ! The first two stories inparticular, are brilliantly creepy. Ms. Crawford turns in a convincing performance in the second story. |
| User ReviewSia SAwesome Pilot. Rod Serling The Creator Of "The Twilight Zone" Sure Did Not Loose His Charm and also this is Steven Speilberg's First Directing Role! |
| User ReviewBob WThe last segment is okay but the first two are a couple of the best suspense dramas of 70's TV. |
| User ReviewBrett BThe pilot for Rod Serling's follow-up to "The Twilight Zone" is very much in that same macabre, unsettling vein. The Joan Crawford segment is notable for being Steven Spielberg's directorial debut, and while the limitations of late '60's primetime television don't allow for a whole lot of creativity, there are flashes of the sort of director Spielberg would grow into. Serling's writing for the entire show is very strong, exhibiting the same kind of thoughtful approach to the supernatural that characterized so much of his earlier work. |
| User ReviewAdam WThis was truley a good film even if it's tame by today's standards.. definately a showcase of great talent.. |
| User ReviewKevin SLearn the definition of "irony" with these stories from the Master: Rod Sterling. This show influenced all dark fantasy that came after. |
| User ReviewShelly lAh Night Gallery. Who could forget Rod Serling!? I would enjoy seeing this TV series re-done. Oh, this movie was good! |
| User ReviewAdrian ZThis feature length pilot to another Twilight Zone type TV series, also produced and hosted by Rod Serling, features three short stories with supernatural overtones which in some way or another involve paintings where some very immoral people get their due. The best segment happens to be Steven Spielberg's, who in his early twenties was already showing a mastery of the cinematic form - his story of a filthy rich blind woman who arranges for a corneal transplant from a needy live donor is a visual tour de force, and a deeply ironic story to boot. The opening segment is typical, if not predictable Serling fare, with a rich man killed by his greedy nephew seems to be coming back from the dead through a painting; but the final segment is comparatively speaking, a letdown, as the story of a Nazi war criminal hiding in South America is told rather incoherently and ends, well, as one would expect after seeing the other two stories.. |
| User ReviewJames HSeason 1, Pilot, Episode 1. Roddy McDowall is irritating as a man who kills his uncle to inherit his fortune. But he is driven mad by a painting that keeps changing. |
