THE DEAD ZONE Review On "Violent Manaic's Cage"

DEAD ZONE, THE

(1983, USA)

DIRECTED BY: David Cronenberg.

David Cronenberg's only sensible film. It doesn't delve off into bizarre territory like his usual films (I loved Videodrome though). This film is just plane fantastic. The cast are excellent especially when you have Christopher Walken in the lead role and Martin Sheen as an evil politician bastard.

It's all about Walken who one night while coming home from work gets into a bad accident. He remains in a coma for years. When he does finally wake up everything has changed. His wife for example has re-married and now he has ESP to predict terrible things that are about to happen.

Walken helps out a lot of people including the police to catch a serial killer. He also stops an evil politician played by Sheen from starting a nuclear war. This is one good film and even the general plot lets you know its a real winner. Magnificent acting, suspense and conclusion. See it I say!

Rating: 5 Skulls
