This Dead Zone was by far the best. Christopher Walken was perfect as Johnny. The remakes suck.

I think this is the best Stephen King adaptation. Aided by the direction of the great David Cronenberg (our best living director), and a phenomenal performance by Christopher Walken, it's a movie that quietly gets under your skin.

How can people say that this is a faithful adaptation to a classic book? This has to be one of the most half-assed Stephen King adaptation that I have ever seen.
