Stephen King Movies, Ranked from Worst to Best
Last updated May 2023 to add The Boogeyman
Recent releases It and The Dark Tower have been erected on the most fertile, if haunted, of Hollywood grounds: Stephen King territory.
While conventional wisdom says King's horror tales "don't translate well to film," a Metacritic look at his theatrical releases shows that the vast majority of them received, at worst, mixed-to-average critical notices. Nine films, or about one-quarter of the titles, are in the green.
The first and thus far only non-anthology King movie featuring an original screenplay by the writer, this 1992 entry fared well with audiences, but its feline-accented storyline underwhelmed critics, who found it "idiotic," "silly" and "unusually stupid."
“You expect more from King.” —Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald
