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.
This 1987 "cut-rate" sequel to Creepshow fared worse with moviegoers and critics than its predecessor. The anthology, featuring a script by zombie king George A. Romero, was faulted for "painfully inept" direction and a lack of scares.
“The only terrifying thing about Creepshow 2 is the thought of Creepshow 3.” —Time Out London
