MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant

Lucia Ayala It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Maleeha Vincent It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

mattkratz I rank this as a reasonably good adaptation of the Stephen King novel, the first book of his I read. I loved the movie they made with Christopher Walken, but the series gives the characters more depth, in part because they can do more of them with episodes rather than just a two-hour movie. I think it was a good idea to come out with an updated version of the movie in the pilot, and then show what Johnny could have done had he lived, The show really gives the characters depth. I love the physical therapist-I think he's hilarious! Johnny uses his "phsychic touches" for good, and I think this is an outstanding series. Check it out if you get the chance.*** out of ****

rls0812 I picked up The Dead Zone from a bargain bin at a local movie store, knowing full well any given Stephen King movie can either be very good, or very bad, with little middle ground.Once I opened up the movie case, I noted stamped across the DVD was "Lion's Gate", who are notorious for releasing B and Z grade horror movies.I figured that King + Lion's Gate = horrible movie. I was wrong !This movie moved along at a nice pace, the acting was good, and over it was enjoyable to watch. I know the whole "wake up from a coma, with psychic powers", has been done to death, and almost from the start it is a cliché, but it is not clichéd in a bad way.Only real problem I have is they keep bringing up points regarding the Reverend character, but that subplot is completely pointless to me.As far as the DVD it's self, there is * NO * option to turn the subtitles off.I recommend this movie if you have nothing better to watch, and are in the mode for a light psychological film.

pninson The Dead Zone was one of my favorite Stephen King books, and I liked David Cronenberg's film. So I was delighted to find that the characters and ideas had been re-worked into a TV series with high production values, good scripts and acting.The first two seasons held me spellbound. I watched them on DVD, so I was able to see them in widescreen with the best picture and sound. By the time I got into the third season, though, my interest was starting to fade. I was glad that the love triangle had been resolved so we could move on to something else. Unfortunately, there hasn't been much of an ongoing plot line to replace it.I've watched the first couple of episodes of Season 4, and I have to say, the last one was downright boring. No show can hit on all thrusters all the time, but Dead Zone just isn't holding my interest. I'm not sure why, but I think it's because the characters haven't changed very much. Johnny is still the same guy he was at the beginning. The supporting cast, ditto. What the show needs to revitalize it is an arc that expands on some of the "future" plot at the end of Season 3, or some major changes in the characters.Perhaps I'm missing something by not continuing with it, but with limited time and hundreds of films and shows I want to see, this one is on the back burner for now. It's a shame --- for a while it was one of the best shows on TV.

Vic_max The Dead Zone has managed to keep its episodes fresh over the years and that has made it interesting to watch. The way the lead character's "psychic" ability is limited allows stories to unfold in unpredictable ways.The series is basically about a man who wakes up from a long coma with a new ability. He can touch people and things and get flashes of their background - often things that deal with something important that has or will happen to them.This gives him a reason to pursue finding out more so he can make a positive difference. What keeps the stories interesting is that his flashes are limited and uncontrolled - he can't just "get the answer" to something. He gets bits and pieces which are also sometimes not in sequential order. It's a little bit like the "CSI" shows, but with a little more novelty.The F/X used are really interesting too. During his flashes, he's sometimes able to get them to 'freeze'. Then he can actually walk around the whole scene while all motion is stopped (including things in midair). Nicely done.The only part that is a little bit of a negative is his bizarre extended relationship with his former girlfriend, her (and his) son and her husband; it's a little too weird and adds nothing to the show. If you like good stories dealing with "psi" (short for psychic) or "CSI"-type shows where bits of evidence take the stories in unpredictable directions, you should check out this series.
