I was sadly disappointed
The TV episode upon which this is based (script by Richard Matheson) isn’t one of the most famous episodes, but it’s my favorite Twilight Zone ever.
This… isn’t.
The original story is a nonlinear story. The first half and the second half are separated by 25 years; but beyond that, there are secrets in both halves that are revealed slowly, out of order. Some of these secrets are surprising revelations. The final revelation occurs late in the second half and is a flashback to the first half, filling in the vital missing piece that makes the whole thing make sense in the final moment—just like a good Twilight Zone episode should.
None of that is here. They told the story in plodding, linear order. Only one surprise remains, the least consequential but most obvious of them all. There’s one other ATTEMPTED surprise, but they actually spoiled it minutes earlier.
The story is thus a boring “ghost story” at most, not worth your time despite excellent performances. I wish I hadn’t spent the money.

Not On Par With Other TZ Stories
Any additional comments?
I'm a big fan of most of what the Twilight Zone serves up in any medium, but this story lacked everything that makes the series special. The story's plot is weak, the characters aren't likable, and the twist ending is not a big surprise.
Pass on this one.
2.3 / 10.0

Unlikable.
Incredibly depressing and initially disjointed story. Voice acting is good, but does not save this episode. I'd give this one a miss.
