John Carpenter and Stephen King make a surprisingly good combo. I liked Cronenberg’s treatment of King just a little better, but that might be at least in part because I liked the source novel for The Dead Zone better than I liked this effort. However, the major failing of this movie is also the major failing of the novel: at some point, the suspension of disbelief collapses and the notion of a demon-possessed Pontiac just starts to seem silly. Mildly amusing
Media criticism. Pop culture snark. And movie reviews. Lots and lots of movie reviews.
