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.
Now considered one of the best King adaptations, the initial notices were mixed for the "entertaining," if "utterly ridiculous" John Carpenter-directed horror tale about a possessive 1958 Plymouth Fury.
“Another average adaptation of one of the increasingly weak Stephen King novels.” —TV Guide
