Stephen King S The Dead Zone 1983 Greek By Stelios.avi -

For a Greek viewer in the 80s and 90s, The Dead Zone was a tragedy about dystychia (misfortune). sTELIOs didn’t just translate the film; he localized the horror. The subtitle for “You don’t want to hurt anyone” might have been translated closer to “ You are cursed to see what others cannot. ”

The audio is 128kbps MP3, hissing slightly during the quiet moments when Christopher Walken whispers, “The ice... is gonna break.”
