Cronenberg attempting a little mainstream with this Stephen King yarn and really pulling it off.

Before Christopher Walken was a punchline, he was an actor...you get a great sense of how startling Walken can be as a star, of how unusual and unexpected his every choice is, from his turn in this early-career King adaptation

The Dead Zone does what only a good supernatural thriller can do: It makes us forget it is supernatural.

Arguably the best adaptation of a Stephen King novel.

Director David Cronenberg's sense of pace is acute, the editing by Ronald Sanders is seamless and suspenseful. And, if nothing else, the movie establishes that chills can be generated without explicit gore and violence.

[An] engrossing yet strangely unembellished adaptation of Stephen King's bestseller by director David Cronenberg.

By no means a bad film, just a disappointingly bland and superficial one.

It's both moving and quietly unsettling as it builds towards a forceful climax.

Cronenberg pulls it off, but you can't help feeling it's a movie in search of a TV series.
May 20, 2003
Mr. Cronenberg's direction is vivid and effective; his pacing is a little unemphatic at times, but the film's individual scenes are very well staged.

An accomplished psychological thriller.

The Dead Zone ultimately ranks as one of the best King adaptations to date.
