'The Twilight Zone' first began as a well regarded TV series, created and written by Rod Surling in 1964, and claims 156 episodes to date. In 1980 Spielburg decided to turn it into a film which inspired a failed TV revival and finally a radio drama adaption of the original series in 2007.
Honestly, I found it hard to analyse the episode at hand, after watching the original we could see how the producers struggled to create the same atmosphere and tone for the piece by not properly over compensating in the barriers of communication (removed visual from such a visually orientated narrative).
Through this they over compensated upon the script work, yet under-developed the characters; they had also over compensated on the sound effects to the point where it became comical (reference the officer pouring himself a cup of coffee, loudly, sipping it, loudly, then swallowing, very loudly) destroying all hopes of tension. This again happens with the background music, becoming loud enough that it becomes hard to listen to what is being said.
The character creation is very simple in this episode, the more authority the character has the deeper the american accents gets.
