The thing with Christopher Walken movies is that you cannot watch them en... read more

Indeed, it was adapted from one of the better books written by Stephen King (I even read the damned thing later on), it was directed by David Cronenberg and the lead character was played by Christopher Walken. And, yet, e... read more

There were two main reasons for seeing 'The Dead Zone'. One was for one of the most interesting and unique directors David Cronenberg, who may have pioneered the body horror genre but a good deal of his films are far more than that. The other was for Stephen King, who in my mind is the quintessential "horror" writer, not all his dialogue writing is great and some of his books have bloated moments ... read more

“There were two main reasons for seeing 'The Dead Zone'.

The other was for Stephen King, who in my mind is the quintessential "horror" writer, not all his dialogue writing is great and some of his books have bloated moments but his characterisation is so vivid and meaty, the atmosphere of much of his work thoughtful and terrifying and his attention to detail for horror literature is unparallelled.
