Contner - Michael Shapiro (III) - Jon Cassar - Mike Rohl - Nick Marck - David Cronenberg - Stephen (Buch) King Actors/Actresses: - Christopher Walken - Brooke Adams Excellent, Compelling show! After watching two episode of "The Dead Zone" I was hooked. This a great show. Anthony Michael Hall is great, "Dead Zone" makes me forget him in of the 80's movies that he did. The acting by the surpporting actors is also really good. If you are like and discover "The Dead Zone" in the middle of season two then this a must DVD! Can't wait for the season packs to be out! Compelling, Riveting...Yes! I had, recently, seen brief bits of the DEAD ZONE television show and I had garnered an observation that the production, acting, special effects, and script were of a superior kind...and my main purpose/motivation for renting the DVD television premiere. What I viewed was everything I expected and much more. The storyline/script is smartly written, with each scene vital and drawing the viewer in (i.e. you or me). The exploration of this man's coma/accident-induced powers...the untapped realm of the brain known as the "dead zone"...is explored with great imagination and emotional impact. There was one scene that placed me in awe of the production values of this film. It involves the dead zone guy's Vietnamese doctor who, through his patient's powers, discovers that his mother is alive, not dead as the doctor had thought. In the reunion scene...a scene that will make you reach for the tissues, I have not seen in a long time a film that displayed such raw and genuine emotion (with special mention going to the actors in this scene). Just thinking about that scene makes me savor film and the power/art of film-making at its best. The exhileration of the reunion, with no dialogue whatsoever, was truly astounding. Once you see that scene, you'll know what I'm talking about (get the tissues in advance)... I, too, cannot wait for the rest of the season to come out on DVD. And though I rented this movie, I plan to also buy it shortly. I believe the reason this film was so effective as a pilot for the rest of the show is the directoral prowess of Michael Pillar whose ability in film production is most evident in the latter years of STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION. Whether or not you like that latter ther than that, prepare for a rare treat of a movie. Buy The Dead Zone at Amazon.com Buy posters at Allposters.com Jamster - the latest ringtones for your phone!
