Few writers' work is as good on the big screen as Stephen King's. After 40 years of his work, Stephen King has had 42 films adapted from his work, with themes ranging from horror, suspense, mystery, and drama (not including sequels, as many are rotten TV movies).
Someone here has arranged a list of Stephen King's works, from the worst to the best.
Here are the top 10 on this list:
10. IT (2017)
This is Stephen King's 1986 novel, which is 1138 pages long. The director only collects the young parts of the story's protagonist. Set in the United States in the 1980s, the director captures a strong childhood trauma and camaraderie—and a lingering atmosphere of death and decline—in the film.
9. The Shawshank Redemption (1994)
It may not be as a cross-era classic as some people think, but it is still a work about friendship and survival that has long been able to move people's hearts. The story is a story about redemption that takes place in prison.
8. Christine Charm (1983)
A thriller about a wandering young man who buys a crimson sports car "Christine", and later gradually discovers that the owners of this past have died one by one in strange accidents...
7. Walk with Me (1986)
It depicts four teenagers with their own hearts and minds, who are curious and embark on a journey along the railway "in search of corpses", a summer adventure full of touching, sad, funny and courageous.
6. Passing the Level (1987)
Arnold Schwarzenegger plays a soldier who is forced to participate in a violent television drama competition for some reason.
5. Ghost Show (1982)
The film consists of five short horror stories.
4. Carrie the Witch (1976)
The story takes place in a psychic girl who is trapped in the tragic situation of being bullied at school. Later, after a series of unfortunate encounters, the girl finally broke out!
3. Death Counting (1982)
A rural teacher, when a romantic relationship is about to bear fruit, suddenly falls into a coma due to an accident, and when he wakes up, he actually gains the ability to see through the secrets of others.
2. The Mist (2007)
A small town's supermarket is suddenly surrounded by an unclear and disturbing fog, and various horrific events occur, making the trust between people fragile, and the final ending is unforgettable and triggers deep moral reflections on the audience
1. Ghost Shop (1980)
About a father and his wife and a son with a bit of mental problems spending the winter in a restaurant in the valley.
The work is considered the best Stephen King adaptation and one of the best horror films of all time. The madman played by Jack Nixon, and the superb directing of director Kuberik, make this film a horror classic.
I have to say that "Ghost Shop" really caught the essence of horror movies, classic! What do you think?
