Review – The Dead Zone

I really liked the novel upon which this film was based, so perhaps I was just set up to be disappointed by the movie. And sure, it’s got its weak spots.

But for the most part director David Cronenberg manages to stifle his usual gore fascination and produce a fairly straightforward interpretation of the book. Mildly amusing
