The Dead Zone DVD Report

In the movie of the Stephen King novel The Dead Zone, Johnny Smith (Christopher Walken), a schoolteacher in a small town, is romantically involved with co-worker Sarah Bracknell (Brooke Adams). One evening Johnny is in a car wreck that leaves him in a coma.

Five years later he wakes up to find Sarah is married with a son, and he must endure lengthy therapy to regain the use of his body. He now has the ability to see into the pasts or futures of anyone he touches, he is also able to absorb incredible amounts of personal information from this simple act. After helping some people, and the police, he meets a presidential candidate and sees into his future, it means destruction for the whole world, can he stop it?

I like Stephen King movies, The Dead Zone had a real budgety feel to it, but was still good, Walken was born to play gangsters, but is still OK at horror, overall still a pretty good movie 25 years on!
