The fourth episode of The Twilight Zone revival suffers from some of the same flaws as the previous three episodes, but this might be the best episode yet.
While feeling a bit like a preparatory hour designed to give us a push into the final climax, there’s still some good ol’ terror to be had in the latest Castle Rock episode.
Lacking substance or exploration of themes, The Bad Batch is a pointless post-apocalyptic, psychedelic trip to nowhere-land.

About 20 minutes into A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night, the local drug dealer, Saeed (Dominic Rains), takes a girl (Shelia Vand) back to his flat. His place is pretty pimped out. Think a toned-down version of Alien’s crib in Spring Breakers – the mounted animal heads, the fur carpets and nice furniture, the suitcase filled with drug money and coke lined up on the glass table next to it.
