This week, we kick off Stephen King Big Screen Adaptation Month with one of the writer’s stories that doesn’t get as much love as some of the others. 1983’s The Dead Zone, directed by David Cronenberg, is a psychic thriller that stars the great Christopher Walken and Martin Sheen.

In anticipation of this month’s release of Wolfs on Apple TV, we decided to take a look at “fixer” films through the years. These are stories where someone is hired to come in and clean…
This week we wrap up M. Night Shyamalan month with Old, his tale of a mysterious beach that affects its visitors’ aging speed. We also look back on the entire month of films and discuss what we learned about the writer/director and his approach to filmmaking.
