Movie Reviews of The Dead Zone (Special Collector's Edition)
Movie Review: THE DEAD ZONE
Summary: 4 Stars
A special collector's edition, The Dead Zone is well worth purchasing. Based on one of Stephen King's earlier novels, it is excitingly fast-paced and entertaining. Christopher Walken is outstanding in the starring role of the psychic who has a gift he would not have asked for, one that in the end proves life-saving on a grand scale. Buy the movie! You won't be sorry.
Summary of The Dead Zone (Special Collector's Edition)
The Dead Zone is based on a novel by Stephen King, directed by David Cronenberg (Scanners, The Fly) and produced by Debra Hill (Halloween, The Fog). Such a trio of horror vets would be expected to come up with an evening of shocks and gore, but The Dead Zone is a surprise. While it has great atmospheric eeriness and undeniably scary moments, The Dead Zone is at heart a sensitive and thoughtful portrayal of main character Johnny Smith's dilemma. Christopher Walken, king of the vaguely creepy, plays Smith, a man who awakens from a five-year coma with the very mixed blessing of second sight. At the mere touch of a hand, Smith is unwillingly launched into scenes of past and future terror. (Director Cronenberg is said to have fired blanks from a .357 Magnum just out of camera range to keep Walken's flinching spontaneous.) The Dead Zone wisely takes its time telling the story, and thus allows for some great performances. Walken gives a rich portrayal of the conflicted Smith, and Colleen Dewhurst and Tom Skerritt both do welcome turns in smaller roles. The most fun of all, though, is clearly being had by Martin Sheen, who gives a spirited performance as a complete sleazebag. --Ali DavisChristopher Walken wakes from a coma due to a car accident only to find he has lost five years of his life and yet gained psychic powers. Foreseeing the future appears to be a 'gift' at first but ends up causing problems...System Requirements:Running Time: 103 MinutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: HORROR Rating: R UPC: 097361183541 Manufacturer No: 118354
