The 10 Worst Stephen King Movies Ever Made

Stephen King is a type of prolific writers whose scope of labor is so huge, and whose higher initiatives are so beloved, that it’s straightforward to overlook in regards to the stuff that isn’t so good. The identical is true for all the films based mostly on his quick tales and novels—so a lot of them, at this level, are so good, that we barely even take into consideration those that didn’t fairly hit. For each Dreamcatcher or Firestarter there’s a Carrie, a Gerald’s Recreation, a Shining.

Nicely, we give it some thought. We give it some thought so typically that we’ve determined to gather the worst into an inventory of their very own. For an creator as beloved as King, whose work is, for essentially the most half, fairly cinematic even in written kind, there are tons of horrible films based mostly on his oeuvre of quick tales and novels that just about make you marvel if the supply materials is dangerous, too. (It’s normally not.) That mentioned, it’s all the time enjoyable to look again on the dangerous stuff to see the place all of it went incorrect and what may have been improved.

So, let’s have a look again at among the true failures, the worst of what’s, all advised, a markedly dangerous cinematic universe. There are in all probability no less than twice as many truly dangerous films based mostly on King’s work, however we’re wanting again at ten of them, beginning within the mid-’80s all the best way to only a few years in the past, tales that span all the things from alien invasions to werewolves to werecats to cellular phone zombies — and, sure, evil sentient killer machines. We don’t have a grand unifying concept of why these films are so dangerous when others have been so good, however perhaps there are some clues hidden inside all of the blood and guts and clown make-up.
