There's a better episode (though I like this one too) in this vein of an SS officer returning to a concentration camp. It's very ham fisted but in the best way possible.
Pop Culture and History Guy thank you for this I just revisited it as it was one of my personal favorites as well however I had forgotten the title. I remember seeing it back for the first time when I was nine years old and thinking it was soooo fitting.
This episode was alright, but the twist of the protagonist trapped in a cycle of dying alongside his victims offers a unique twist that was novel for its time. ☺️🚢
I think it’s better than all right. I adore this episode. Everything is ever so slightly off and the reveal prior to Lanser’s punishment that he’s a Nazi had been so unexpected, and of course that twist stays with you. The atmosphere throughout is so wonderfully moody.
@@RialVestro Sorry to contradict you, but a protagonist is simply the story main character, onto which the story revolve. The antagonist is the character opposing him. No need for heroism here.
@@Drake5607 This. They shove this down your throat in school that a protagonist is not necessarily labeled as the "good guy." Simply the main character in which the story follows while an antagonist is someone who goes against the protagonist's ideals.
On the coffee sponsor meddling with the script: The Twilight Zone Companion remarked it was a good thing they didn’t realize that people drink water, too, or the episode would have been on dry land.
@@KairuHakubi Maybe don't use a descriptor at all? Make it more about the point in general and less about the specific person you're talking to. I think your comment is actually better if you take out the first sentence entirely.
Wait, am I a libtard or a communist? Accusing me of having two inherently incompatible ideologies? Sounds like doublethink to me. the obsolete man has more in common with fascism than it does communism. In the style of Orwell (who was a Democratic socialist, by the way) the true nature of the dictatorship is left ambiguous. The show doesn’t take to kindly to anti-communist efforts, with The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street serving as a microcosmic example of the anti-communist paranoia of the red scare, and Four O’Clock showing a man who hides his paranoia and pettiness under a thin veneer of constant flag-waving and a quest to root out “degeneracy”. It referred to those who stoked the fires of the red scare at the time, but it very much applies to modern conservative commentators.
I have to say, the idea of what is essentially Hell being repetition, of reliving the same horrible thing over and over again for all eternity, is especially terrifying.
I remember a story with a similar concept that really terrified me. Mostly because the protagonist hadn't been a monster, she had just been fake. As in, she had pretended to care for people for the wrong reasons, and kept a fake interest in a man. And her "hell", after dying, was never getting to be away from that man. She would repeat cycles of different memories, going as far as to the most sacred and loving moments of her childhood, and there he would be, tainting everything. I wish I could remember the name! I think it might be more well known in English-speaking countries than here.
This is one of my favorite episodes. I find the performance of Lanser very well done. His haunted tone gives me chills every time. How his fear of the doom that’s coming just can’t be hidden. I like to think his fear has been amplified with each repeat, so he’s even more scared each time.
This just made me thing of Lucifer on Netflix. His judgement is how hell works in the show, you are punished by your own guilt and your tormenter is yourself. Very interesting concept, happens to be popular.
They actually did this kind of thing in Five Night At Freddy's. The guy who killed the children' and caused their souls to posses the animatronics, William Afton, gets killed and in Ultimate Custom Night, you play as him trying to survive against the very monsters he accidently created due to his evil. At the end of the story he got stuck in an animatronic suit, but when he finally died, he's also getting attacked by the very suit his soul haunted. So he gets a pretty poetic personal Hell.
@@zesty2023 Can't speak for Islam but it was early Christianity that developed the idea of a fiery tormenting Hell. Original Jewish text described 'hell' as this foggy cold twilight land where unworthy souls kinda just wander around.
The idea of Hell as a constant loop in which one is confronted with his own guilt and sins was pretty novel back then. You still see this kind of thing in shows like Lucifer. That show even has an episode with the same basic twist at the end. Groundhog Day with Bill Murray had a slightly different variant, in which the time loop is more like purgatory and it stops when a certain lesson has been learned. A lot of sci-fi shows, such as Star Trek, have several time loop episodes as well. It's quite a common concept nowadays but back then it was pretty novel.
I had read a Twilight zone book that had this story in it. In the book, after the ship sinks, he wakes up on the U-boat just as they were approaching the ship. During the attack, one of his men mention some lifeboats had women and children on it and he ordered them sunk. Later the sub was attacked and sunk by a destroyer and he wakes up on the ship. I liked in the short story novel how they delved into how brutal he actually was during the attack, making the punishment even more fitting.
I like the version you described a bit better. Like, in "Das Boot", there's a situation where a U-boat sinks a ship and the crew does feel remorse for the survivors of the attack, but there's nothing they can do about it. They can't take them on board as prisoners and, unfortunately, it's war. By comparison, in the version you described, the captain didn't just "do his duty" but purposely killed survivors, so his punishment is more fitting.
Nehemiah Persoff passed away on April 5, 2022, at the age of 102. I will always remember him for his role as Papa Mousekewitz in the American Tail franchise, as well as the title character in the Gilligan's Island episode, The Little Dictator.
This was always one of my favorite episodes from the original TTZ iteration, the building suspense that something, just isn't right, and the main character's dread as he begins to realize the depth of his situation always entertained me. P.S. Nice job undercranking the theme, makes it actually kind of unsettling. 👍
The punishment of having eternal dread is really the worse part. And you don't remember the cycle.. each time you have the same horrible dread again and again. The destruction and death isn't the worst part... it's all the dread building up to it. THAT is the real torture.
@@ImmaLittlePip lol And Carl's downtime remained despite the brand since he was gracious for the offer; things just seem to happen to those who don't drink it. Rich... Rich... Double Rich
@I lost my faith in humanity and i want you to die Here is the thing though, he didn't remember at the beginning but remembered more and more as the episode went on until he went into full panic. It is not a stretch of the imagination to think that at the end while he is in the water dying that at this point he has his full memory back, along with the knowledge that he has suffered and drowned possibly hundreds of times, can remember that pain, and also knows that he is going to die yet again and the cycle is going to start all over again. Maddening and suffering maybe for a few minutes, but a few minutes that will repeat again and again.
The Groundhog Day of Hell. This was classic Twilight Zone - the eternal loop of repetition that was used several times throughout the series. Sometimes a person would escape the loop by accepting their fate or learning their lesson but others were doomed to repeat their error like our callous u-boat captain.
what episode is that? i found in on amazon prime i was actually gonna cancel it next mouth. glad i didn’t. that’s probably the only thing i will watch on here edit: its cool. i just sesrched through every episode looking fir groundhog but what you wrote was just a reference😂🤣 lol
I think that would be a pretty fitting judgement in the here after for someone who didn't care about the type of life he was living and how his actions may have affected others :) .
Something about this, the setting, the ghost-ish thing, knowing that the people are doomed, meeting the dead, and even the name, remind me a good bit of the game Echo Night. I wonder if the game was inspired at all by this episode.
Ben Wright, who played Captain Wilbur in this episode. later appeared in Deaths-Head Revisited, playing the doctor in the very final scene. This appearance is memorable for short monologue he held at the end which eventually went directly into Rod's ending narration.
I'm glad I am not the only person who noticed, according to IMDB he had been acting since the 40's including in one of my favourite movies "The Life And Death Of Colonel Blimp". All the times I have watched it and I can't say I noticed McNee in it.
I loved this episode. How horrifying is it to spend eternity like that? And did anyone notice that this episode was kinda reworked in the "Soul Survivor" episode of Night Gallery? Both are awesome...
The entire ship set used in this movie was also used that same year in movie The Wreck of Marie Dreare. Ben Wright, who played Captain Wilbur in this episode, also appeared in that movie.
This episode is a favorite of mine I wouldn’t put it in my top 10 but if it was on I’d watch it and I put it on to see it again. Just like he said the last eight minutes are definitely the best that hallways seen when I first saw it it ran a chill right up my spine. Definitely above average episode downright good
The book version had the U-boat being sunk by a destroyer depth charges, and the captain being placed back on the deck of the freighter, for what you see above. It cycles back and forth for eternity.
Nehemiah Persoff Did At Least Three Hawaii Five-O Episodes That I Remember. A Really Good Actor & I Look Forward To Watching This Episode Of Twilight Zone. Thank You.
This Episode was beyond Awesome!!! Fun Fact.. Nehemiah Persoff is still alive to this day!! 101💯💯 such an amazing Character actor. His eyes tell the whole story in this episode.
Watching these is making me realize how many episodes of the twilight zone that the Netflix show black mirror has used as inspiration and in some cases even just copying the twist. Such as with this episode and the episode “white bear”
Nazi punishment was still very much on everyone's mind. During this same period would be the capture and later trial of Adolf Eichmann. The Twilight Zone would not be done with Nazis either!
Media people are trained to speak in a generic form of English with a cadence meant to be inoffensive and that can be heard over the din of a crowd. Its called announcer voice. Besides, the US southwest have its own form of accents called California English and an Arizonan Accent which are varieties of a Midwest Accent.
I could make some snide remarks, but the best thing to say is, see The Red Shoes, Black Narcissus, and Cocteau's early Beauty And The Beast. Really. There is a world.
This little gem of an episode is one of my favorites, and I feel the main characters acting style fit the somber creepy mood of the tale perfectly... Yes it's a little over the top in spots, but so is the story as far as retribution and irony are concerned. It's a haunting story with a haunting style that sticks with you long after the TV has been turned off...
I wish I could have directed this. I would have put Lancer's crew in the background of the ship, obvious places with two men working in the background doing a one man job, neither finding it strange the other is there, inconspicuous, but making it that a rewatch can spot that even the dude who feels guilty over his actions at the end is moving around the background, after Lancer arrives on the Queen of Glasgow None of them escaped those actions......in the Twilight Zone
This is one of the episodes I look for every year when SyFy plays them during New Years. It's very effective. The only hic-up I think it has is that you can figure it out on your own that he's reliving this hell over and over again. But I guess they felt that there would be those that don't get it so they added a bit of dialogue at the end where one character out of the blue talks about his fear of reliving their sins over and over again. I felt it wasn't necessary. Other than that, great episode.
I disagree that “Judgement Night” isn’t a must-see episode of Twilight Zone. Nehemiah Persoff was awesome in this (as he usually is). As a teenager, I was totally convinced by his performance. I remember learning the great word “impunity” from this episode (a word probably too obscure for modern audiences): “It will surface. They won't use their torpedoes on us. Not when they can stand off at a thousand yards and shell us with impunity and sink us at will!”
We can only hope this sort of thing really happens to those kinds of people. Imagine if it did, just think of all the horrible people back in the second world war.
This episode was brilliant. Rod Serling's sermon at the end still gives me chills. Can you think of a more fitting end to a Nazi than this? This has to be the perfect punishment.
My guess is this is Stephen King's favorite episode. To him, the worst possible punishment that Hell could offer is "repetition"---endlessly forced to live out the same chain of events knowing something is going to go wrong but being powerless to keep it from changing for all eternity. He has a short story somewhat similar to this one, plus if you're familiar with the Dark Tower's ending...
I've seen this episode before, but I've noticed a part missing in the story at the end. One moment Captain Lanser is in his quarters talking to his second in command and is being told about judgment, the next moment he's back on the freighter where the episode started, but we don't know how he got there. My theory is that either at a later point in the war his U-boat was sunk by an Allied ship and Lanser went down with it, or Lanser survived the war only to charged and convicted for war crimes and was subsequently executed. After his death Lanser was damned to be on the ghostly version of the freighter in its final moments as sinking the Queen of Glasgow was his first war crime.
I mean almost all of the U-boats were sunk by 1945. So it's likely he was killed during the war. Maybe he survived and lived to be an old man. I don't think it makes much of a difference.

I think this to be similar to how the Bible explains hell and eternal judgement for sin.
Special Hell is to those who kill indiscriminately and without conscience.
and a normal Hell for people who didn't love god enough for him to save them from the place that he himself created to torture them. Yep.

"Judgment Night" is a dark tale about divine punishment, delivered to a devilishly devious man in the watery depths of... The Twilight Zone.

It's a haunting story with a haunting style that sticks with you long after the TV has been turned off...
I have never actually seen this one! I'll definitely have to check it out for myself!
I wish I could have directed this. I would have put Lancer's crew in the background of the ship, obvious places with two men working in the background doing a one man job, neither finding it strange the other is there, inconspicuous, but making it that a rewatch can spot that even the dude who feels guilty over his actions at the end is moving around the background, after Lancer arrives on the Queen of Glasgow
None of them escaped those actions......in the Twilight Zone
This man died to Golden Experience Requiem
I love this idea for hell, the murderer forced to relive the death of their victims.
This is one of the episodes I look for every year when SyFy plays them during New Years. It's very effective. The only hic-up I think it has is that you can figure it out on your own that he's reliving this hell over and over again. But I guess they felt that there would be those that don't get it so they added a bit of dialogue at the end where one character out of the blue talks about his fear of reliving their sins over and over again. I felt it wasn't necessary. Other than that, great episode.
The conversation between the captain and the lieutenant at the end was one of the best scenes in the episode. A perfect wrap-up.
I wonder if Stephen King drew inspiration from this for his short story "That Feeling, You Can Only Say It In French"
Nehemiah Persoff... I think he played Yentl's dad in....Yentl.
Classic season 1 episode! ^_^
We cannot afford to remind the audience of the existence of tea! You'll bankrupt the coffee industry, Serling you dolt!
Awesome. I've got to watch it then.
The ending reminded me a lot of White Christmas from Black Mirror
My fav. Is still borrowed time and the Manikin lady.
Even though they don't specify the exact date in 1942, Carl Lanser has so far relived the same night a little under 30,000 times.
Didn’t Classic Doctor Who have an episode like this? Jon Pertwee era?
Yes. But not as morbid, and they got out in the end
I disagree that “Judgement Night” isn’t a must-see episode of Twilight Zone. Nehemiah Persoff was awesome in this (as he usually is). As a teenager, I was totally convinced by his performance.
I remember learning the great word “impunity” from this episode (a word probably too obscure for modern audiences):
“It will surface. They won't use their torpedoes on us. Not when they can stand off at a thousand yards and shell us with impunity and sink us at will!”
I haven’t been this early ever
A certain Disney villain would like this episode ;)
I agree, I immediately thought of that when I saw this video! 💯😅
Hey Sandman
@Dream Master- Just curious, which Disney villain would like this episode?
which one? Sorry Im just not sure which disney baddie you're talking about
um Ursula? that's the only one I can think of that would like this one
So, it's the movie Groundhog Day. Except on a boat. And no way out.
so not at all like groundhog day then.
And you die every time
@@jonmercano1138 Happy Death Day. then?
@@MandleRoss I guess so
Isn't that Triangle with Melissa George?
oh yeah this one, I was tired watching it the first time and fell asleep and had to watch it twice
That tea coffee thing gave me insane de ja vu
We can only hope this sort of thing really happens to those kinds of people. Imagine if it did, just think of all the horrible people back in the second world war.
My theory is that instead we will end up in either heaven or hell, our lives will be repeated with no memories since our childbirth once we die.

Anyone know the music that plays during this review?
Lol can’t think of John brahm without thinking of the porcelain puppet kid in The Boy II lol (since i just watched Pretty Much It’s video on it today)
Imagine a tissue box the size of a garbage can
He is stuck in his own personal hell.
This episode was brilliant. Rod Serling's sermon at the end still gives me chills. Can you think of a more fitting end to a Nazi than this? This has to be the perfect punishment.
My guess is this is Stephen King's favorite episode. To him, the worst possible punishment that Hell could offer is "repetition"---endlessly forced to live out the same chain of events knowing something is going to go wrong but being powerless to keep it from changing for all eternity. He has a short story somewhat similar to this one, plus if you're familiar with the Dark Tower's ending...
I've seen this episode before, but I've noticed a part missing in the story at the end. One moment Captain Lanser is in his quarters talking to his second in command and is being told about judgment, the next moment he's back on the freighter where the episode started, but we don't know how he got there. My theory is that either at a later point in the war his U-boat was sunk by an Allied ship and Lanser went down with it, or Lanser survived the war only to charged and convicted for war crimes and was subsequently executed. After his death Lanser was damned to be on the ghostly version of the freighter in its final moments as sinking the Queen of Glasgow was his first war crime.
I mean almost all of the U-boats were sunk by 1945. So it's likely he was killed during the war. Maybe he survived and lived to be an old man. I don't think it makes much of a difference.
I thought you were talking about the terminator movie
Isn't that Judgement Day?
