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.
King's first and most-filmed novel about a telekinetic teen gets its third iteration in this "intermittently effective" remake that nevertheless won praise for the "terrific" Chloë Grace Moretz.
“Rather than offering new blood, Carrie is a purely cosmetic revamp.” —Claudia Puig, USA Today
