Editorial Review:
Based on the characters and story from the best-selling book by Stephen King, The Dead Zone is unique psychological thriller that combines a rich mix of action, the paranormal and a continuing quest for justice. Johnny Smith’s life is interrupted by a near fatal car crash that leaves him in a deep comma for six years. When he regains consciousness he discovers that he now possesses amazing psychic powers - powers that allow him to see into the life of anyone he touches.
The Dead Zone (TV Pilot) Reviews:
Dead Zone the Movie 
2009-07-19 - 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.
Be Careful 
2008-05-05 - 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 
2007-10-16 - 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 
2007-05-23 - 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.
STUPID, STUPID, STUPID!
2006-05-23 - 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.
