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.
Despite "an exceptionally strong cast" led by Ed Harris, this 1993 entry, based on the same-titled novel about a diabolical shop, was found "rather lifeless" and "hard to sit through."
“It should have been edited with a meat ax.” —Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
