Review of The Dead Zone (1983) by Paul Z — 27 Oct 2012
Cronenberg's feeling for the story and the moods he projects upon it are defined by Michael Kamen's music, which has the same resonating dreariness as Cronenberg's usual collaborator, Howard Shore.
I want to talk about Christopher Walken in one of his most serious and contemplative early roles, I want to talk about Martin Sheen hamming it up as a scary reflection of right-wing American politicizing, I want to talk about the influence the movie has on genre conventions.
But when it's a Cronenberg film, I keep coming back to music and atmosphere.
