Stephen King Movies, Ranked from Worst to Best

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 adapted two of his short stories, "The Ledge" and "Quitter's Inc.," for this "effective," "extremely clever," 1985 anthology film that featured Drew Barrymore and a tabby cat.
“[A]ssumes an honorable but not exalted position in the multimedia King empire.” —David Ansen, Newsweek
