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.

Empire
It has some of that episodic ‘compressed miniseries’ feel which a lot of King pictures get stuck with (the book was later redone as a TV serial with Anthony Michael Hall) but still manages a lot of powerful material.

The New York Times
A well-acted drama more eerie than terrifying, more rooted in the occult than in sheer horror.

David Cronenberg turns The Dead Zone into an accomplished psychological thriller.
