Review of The Dead Zone (1983) by Sv G — 08 Nov 2008
This original is much better than the 2002 remake. I love Stephen King but not always thrilled with the film adaptions - this one however is a favorite. GREAT performance by Christopher Walken and top-notch direction by David Cronenberg.
I watched this for the first time since I first saw it when it came out in 1983 and I enjoyed as much today as I did then. A New England school teacher falls into a coma after an accident and wakes 5 yrs later with the gift of seeing into futures as well as how someone died thereby aiding not only those whose lives he can save by warning them, but assist the local sherrif as to how someone died (and by whom).
It's exciting, it's interesting, stays true to the book. Lots of good to say about this old 80s film and a great ending!
