The Dead Zone

I thought this was a very good movie. I always love Christopher Walken. Really, the entire cast was excellent. As far as Steven King stories go, this is more of a creepy slow burn than outright horror.

One of my favourite movies of all time. Christopher Walken is outstanding! I remember well many of his key lines

Decent for a 2025 watch. Almost predicts the future...

A great psychological movie with a mesmerizing performance by Christopher Walken.

Combining the source of Stephen King and the filmmaking of David Cronenberg (Rabid, Fast Company) makes for an tense thriller that has an incredible performance by Christopher Walken (The Anderson Tapes, Roseland)

By far the best adaptation of a King novel. Keeps itself very close to the text with excellent performances from all concerned. Just a shame it doesn't receive the same coverage of other King based films.

I got a kick out of this movie. I noticed two points of irony in this flick. First observation, Christopher Walken's character is a school teacher who later inherits supernatural abilities. Early in the story, he recommends the Washington Irving story The Legend of Sleepy Hollow to his students. In real life, Walken portrays the supernatural being of the headless horseman in Tim Burton's film adaptation of the story. It was released in 1999. Second, Martin Sheen portrays a politician who aspires to become the President of the United States. Sure enough, Sheen portrays a fictionalized version of the President in the highly-rated television program The West Wing. Its first season was broadcast in 1999. Thus concludes my observations from The Twilight Zone.

Truly one of Stephen King's powerful adaptation film ever is really suspenseful and very emotional thriller and Christopher Walken's performance is absolutely force of nature he's character is so human and tragic and you really do care for John who lost everything but he has the power to change the past, present and future to save mankind and this is very different directing from David Cronenberg with out body horror and make it a human drama psychological political thriller and really outstanding musical score to make the dead zone a true masterpiece and really strong writing to make this film possible.

The geniuses of Stephen King writing and David Cronenberg directing, with a stunning Christopher Walken give us a perfect thriller drama! Great!

As soon as I finished the book, I watched the movie. It's like a very very brief cliff notes summary of the book. It quickly hits the main points, skipping a few key things. Maybe the recent series will go into more graphic detail.
