One Step Beyond: In 1959 two shows about the paranormal would debut. One of them was The Twilight Zone and the other was this show, One Step Beyond. While on the surface they seem to be similar shows they are quite different and while OSB is not quite, in my view, up to the level of the Twilight Zone it is certainly worth watching.

I bought this DVD due to its cover, or rather who was on the cover. Here was a classic TV show on DVD for a dollar with one episode featuring the late, great Charles Bronson. He plays the part of a boxer with a premonition of death wonderfully and the episode surely left me on the edge of my seat. The other episodes were alright but not really as interesting as the Bronson one.

The print on this DVD leaves much to be desired. Sadly, or perhaps fortunately, this show fell in the public domain and while we may never have seen these shows again if they were still copyrighted, the prints are so worn that it is hardly worth anything but a dollar.
