Stephen King's works have been adapted into various film genres beyond horror, which predominated in the 1980s. This diversity complicates ranking these adaptations. With the release of the Firestarter remake, a retrospective on King's adaptations highlights, while many films have become more serious over time, some, like his directorial effort, stand out poorly. His single directorial project has been labeled by King as the worst adaptation of his writing, underscoring the challenges of translating his unique storytelling to film.
The one movie King ever directed... King has called it the worst adaptation of any of his works, and we are not about to disagree.
Ranking King movies is particularly difficult: The Mangler and The Shawshank Redemption barely seem to exist on the same plane of dimensional existence.
