Cronenberg\u2019s direction, backed up by a great cast, an excellent script, and a powerful score make this a winner in all aspects. The Dead Zone is Bill\u2019s pick and he label\u2019s it one of his top ten favorite films. Crystal is all about Christopher Walken and she throws Brooke Adams some praise as well. The score by Michael Kamen is one of Chad\u2019s favorites and he thinks this might be Walken\u2019s best performance. Jeff identifies some scenes that were cut and is impressed with how the complex story in King\u2019s novel is told so well in under two hours.  If you haven\u2019t seen The Dead Zone for some time, the Decades of Horror 1980s Grue-Crew think it\u2019s about time you did!
