The Dead Zone

David Cronenberg does a wicked job bringing this Stephen King novel to the big screen in what many consider to be one of the best King adaptations ever. Christopher Walken is a surprise here, not that he isn't a great actor but in the role of Johnny Smith he uses a style different from his trademark which works perfectly for the part. In fact, the entire cast is stunning with the likes of Martin Sheen, Herbert Lom, Tom Skerritt and Brooke Adams being joined by home growns such as Nicholas Campbell and Jackie Burroughs and this marks the first appearance of famed "smoking man" William B. Davis! Sharp, tight supernatural thriller guaranteed to keep you on the edge of your seat.
