98. David Cronenberg's The Dead Zone (1983)

Jan 05 2025 74 mins  
A Stephen King novel adapted for the screen, directed by David Cronenberg, and with Christopher Walken playing the main character.

Dec 08 2024 74 mins  
Charmingly outdated-by-1981-standards practical effects, wild borrowings from the best of recent and distant masterpieces of influence, and maybe a pinch of the ol' booger sugar informed this revered Italian director's take on the supernatural something set in 1980 New Orleans for reasons not fathomable, but from a fathomableness of The Beyond!

How long can we spend discussing the quabbles you ask? Well, you're in luck, because you're about to find out while listening to this thoughtful and un-biased think piece about the 2024 horror film Daddy's Head n
