I like when they call Christopher Walken one of the finest YOUNG actor. Oh man how time flies...
Testament was BRUTAL!
Seen it a few times. One of the most powerful movies I have ever seen. I still get teary eyed watching it...
@@SLAYERSWINE1Yup.
The British nuclear war film Threads was far superior, and a thousand times more brutal.
@@martinhavelock5106Threads the horrors of war & it's aftermath.
R.I.P. Rutger Hauer and John Hurt.

Glad to hear their comments on Osterman Weekend..I thought maybe i was too young to understand it, but clearly it made no sense!
Jane Alexander so deserved her Oscar nomination - Testament is a fantastic movie and her performance anchors it so beautifully.
I just watched The Dead Zone because of this review. It is a great movie.
THINGS I LEARNED FROM WATCHING TESTAMENT: 1. Children look nothing like their parents. 2. California townspeople don't understand the concept of moving away from a dangerous radioactive area (except for Kevin Costner who no doubt will hideout in an abandoned post office). 3. Clete Roberts-the newscaster seen in the movie and also was seen in Mash episodes playing himself covering the Korean War in 1950-has the secret of immortality.
I think the idea of #2 is the filmmakers were trying to say that the people realized life as they knew it was over (both coasts were hit, they lost contact with the rest of the world, etc.), there was nowhere really "safe" and there was no reason to really attempt to continue surviving.
Both Testament and Dead Zone feature a nuclear war plotline.
The Dead Zone is one of the best adaptations of a Stephen King novel.
The Dead Zone was a real proof of David Cronenberg talent when it comes to create deep characters and deep human stories.
And The Osterman Weekend was really something insulting considering Peckinpah made it
The Ice is going to break!
The Dead Zone is Christopher Walken’s one of his best performances since his Oscar Winning role in The Deer Hunter back in 1978 with Robert Deniro and Meryl Streep.
Easily my favorite book from King and I think the best film adaption of any of his books.
Wasn’t some of The Osterman Weekend cut? I think that there was some stuff that was left out of the theatrical movie .
Testament was extraordinary, and Jane Alexander was definitely fantastic. A very emotional and very human film, and I loved it. This also has one of Kevin Costner's better performances; if Testament has a flaw, it's William Devane being his typical a___e, and I've never liked him - but he's gone before the halfway point. So much better than The Day After, which I maintain is a terrible film.
Threads is still better, but there's no heart, no hope in that film. Threads is very harrowing; Testament is not. Testament somehow still tries to maintain some hope: they WILL survive this. Threads has no hope - the world is dying, and there is nothing anyone can do to stop it. It's very hard to watch Threads, but Testament keeps the human touch.
The Day After, I agree, is kind of soap opera-ish. I like Testament and Threads. Yes, Threads is more of à downer because it is more realistic and harrowing. Testament is more hopeful, however, and therefore, easier to watch.
I like Testament and The Dead Zone.
The Dead Zone was excellent
@@rmurphy440m Yup.
Siskel thought a film about the effects of NUCLEAR WAR on a suburban community needed comic relief?!? WTF!
William Friedkin directed Chevy Chase !
wow
That's not surprising or shocking in the slightest.
@@steelionx9255
The Exorcist director teams up with the star of Fletch is a completely "unsurprising" combination ?
.
John Belushi and Bill Murray in "Sorcerer" = "unsurprising"?
.
Alfred Hitchcock directs Hello Dolly = "unsurprising"?
.
Ridley Scott's "Barbie" = "unsurprising"?

"One of two films that writer/director Paul Brickman wrote that was released by "Warner Bros." in 1983. The other was the mega hit Risky Business, starring Tom Cruise, which was released during the summer around the same time as Chevy Chase's "National Lampoon's Vacation," which was also released by the studio and was also a success.:
Geeze Gene...WTF...he wants black comedy aspects to Testament??? Like Ebert said, Gene's toughts are obscene. WTF.
"Dead Zone" is so cheesy, especially when you compare it to the book which was fifty times better.
🤔
No
I want to read the book for more perspective on the stilson character.
