    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jan 14, 2000
    Pros: Good adaptation of Stephen King; good characterization
    Cons: A bit short

    Summary: I was pleasantly surprised when I went to see "The Dead Zone" all the way back in late 1983, when it was first released. It's served as one of the few high points for movie adaptations of Stephen King's books and novels. Most of them have ... read more

    Nov 19, 1999
    Pros: Good for the whole family
    Cons: none

    Summary: This movie is based on a book by Stephen King. An entertaining movie that has you believing this could happen to anyone. It was alive with suspense. A movie you can rely on to entertain you on a rainy day. The twist is excellent; it keeps you ... read more
