Product: The Dead Zone [VHS] (1983)
Rating: 5.0
The Dead Zone: Highly recommended dvd
The Dead Zone, in my estimation, represents Stephen King at his best.It is an absolutely chilling story of psychic phemomena centeringaround a man , Christopher Walken, who can not only see the futurebut in some instances can change it. It is Walken's best work andalmost on par with his performance in the Deerhunter.Martin Sheen is also quite excellent as a meglomaniac senatorwho would become President and literally end the world by placinghis finger on the button and enabling nuclear holocaust to ensue.Many similarities may be drawn to our current leader Mr. Bush.The film was shot in 1983. It is now 2007. Stephen Kingsurely had tremendous insight into the future.
