The Dead Zone (R)

MOVIES

Ken Hanke | 01/08/2013

Genre: Horror

Director: David Cronenberg

Starring: Christopher Walken, Brooke Adams, Tom Skerritt, Herbert Lom, Anthony Zerbe, Colleen Dewhurst, Martin Sheen
In Brief: It may come in third place for truly good horror movies made from Stephen King's novels, and it may come across as a little on the "normal" side for a David Cronenberg picture, but The Dead Zone (1983) is still a beautifully crafted horror film any way you look at it. The story —of a man (Christopher Walken) who awakens after years in a coma only to discover that he has psychic abilities — is a strong one and it goes places that few horror pictures do in terms of complexity of plot and characterization. Except for the fact that it won't get you as high as the Cronenberg films that flank it, there's really no cause for complaint.
