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.
The second-biggest box-office hit ranked here, this 2007 John Cusack-led film about a writer's stay in a haunted hotel room won praise as the "most mature horror movie of the year," and as a "swift, sharp" adaption of the same-titled short story.
“A deft Stephen King freak-out.” —Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
