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 futuristic but prescient 1987 Arnold Schwarzenegger sci-fi-action box-office hit was praised for Richard Dawson's performance as a sleazy reality-TV host, but panned for devolving into "a silly chase movie."
“A frustrating experience.” —TV Guide
