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 2014 thriller, featuring a King screenplay, was praised for the "fine" performances by Joan Allen and, as the husband she learns is a serial killer, Anthony LaPaglia. But the "curiously flat" film made no dent at the box office.
“Arguably the dullest King film yet.” —Brian Tallerico, RogerEbert.com
