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.
This 1990 "travesty" about a rat-infested mill was derided as the "all-time worst" King big-screen adaptation. King probably wouldn't disagree: He's called it "a quick exploitation picture" that's "a little bit, like, yuck."
“The latest failed attempt to visualize what King imagines so well.” —Richard Harrington, Washington Post
