The Dead Zone

I touch Donald Trump's hand *FLINCH* VISION* Donald Trump rubbing hands vigorously with hand sanitizer. The last time Christopher Walken wasn't cast as a funny talking joke, he's incredible.

Christopher Walken is Christopher Walken in a Christopher Walken Story. Also Starring Christopher Walken as Christopher Walken, and Tom Skerrit as Christopher Walken. That is the movie Cronenberg should have made. Instead we get a guy brooding for 2 hours while Steven King cashes his check. The scariest part of Dead Zone is trying to figure out how it snowed *inside* the tunnel pictured on the poster.

Walken’s unique style really suits the character post-trauma here, making him suitably quirky and affected; some fine work. Aside from the good performances, this is an interesting story, told efficiently and effectively, and is quite unsettling at points. It does feel a bit “TV movie” (Cronenberg’s influence isn’t really apparent) and perhaps could be a bit deeper, but I enjoyed it and it held my attention. Fans of Walken will certainly enjoy this.

Scissor suicide is the suicide for me!

When Christopher Walken is the lead in your movie, you're going to have to bring something strong to the table in order to get any creepier. Suicide by scissors is definitely that thing.
