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 directed and wrote this 1986 title, so he gets all the credit, as it were, for the "obnoxious," "asinine" "mess of a movie" about machines gone bad. King hasn't helmed a feature since.
“[O]ne long car-crunch movie, wheezing from setups to crackups.” —John Pareles, The New York Times
