Dead Zone the Movie by Alicia Mae (United States) 4 Stars

This was a very well done movie and a great start to the Dead Zone TV series. It does though stray away from the plot of the original movie.

This is the pilot show and is actually included in the 1st Season set. I wasn't sure so I ordered it. It is OK. It is nothing like the book OR movie, but is fair entertainment. I highly recommend the later seasons, but I guess you need to see Season One to understand the characters; especially Stilson. Don't order it if you have also ordered Season One.

Great show, but don't buy this by Adam 1 Stars

I love the dead zone. I find it to be very interesting and gripping. But I see no purpose for this DVD. This is the first episode, which is included in season 1, which is only 10 dollars more, so I cannot really think of a reason to own this dvd. 5 stars to the show, 1 for this dvd, just buy the season.

I was disappointed in this one by Mark (Madison, Wisconsin) 3 Stars

I am a Stephan King horror fan and when I read on the front of the DVD cover it was based on characters from his novel I wanted to see it. I knew that it was a TV pilot, but this was nothing like or associated with SK's characters in the orginal Dead Zone movie or book. It was loosely based, if at all, on his work. I did like the movie and that is why I am giving this movie 3 stars instead of 1 or 2. The story was good and did stand on it's own as an orginal movie. I just thought that the cover of the DVD was deceiving. Sorry guys if I have offended anyone about this movie. It is just my opinion.

Oh I hate this crappy schlocky turkey. The original was a classic that was a great adaptation that did justice to the Stephen King novel (and I liked it alot better than the novel). No offense to Anthony Micheal hall, he is a good actor, but good actors don't save messes like this. Stick with the original David Cronenberg film and the novel. Avoid this bunk.
