Walken has one of his signature roles as stiff-legged outsider Johnny Smith, alienated by the loss of his entire life (...) who foresees disasters wherever he goes.

Cronenberg lugnade ner sig visuellt och storymässigt med denna Stephen King-filmatisering. Han visade var skåpet ska stå inom genren och kanske är det det bästa versionen av en King-bok…

En af de bedste Stephen King filmatiseringer fra mesteren David Cronenberg.

...det som urskiljer filmen mest är den speciella berättartekniken. Handling känns hela tiden väldigt flytande och när du tror att du har klurat ut vart det hela är påväg så inser du plötsligt att du inte har en aning.
