What's happened to Stephen King's movies?
What has happened to movies based off Stephen King's work? Has Stephen King's writing become sub-par or is it the people who turn them into movies?
I think it's both. The movies aren't being made by good directors, and the stories themselves are a little silly and/or predictable. |
King's writing is pure brilliance compared to most of the shit that's been made from it. The Mist was damned good though, I thought.

..really?
If you ask me - or pretty much anyone else around here - The Mist was easily one of the best SK adaptions ever made. |
Nothing has happened to Stephen King's movies. The last 2-3 adaptations have been more than faithful to the core material, and have been kickass at the same time.
You might need to see a shrink, who deals in movie-watching disorders. |
I'm sorry, but I just don't see it. And for clarification, I'm talking mainly about the movies and not the books. The movies I find are just ridiculous. The only one I have liked recently was 1408, and even that was a little, blah. Don't get me wrong, The Shining, Pet Sematary, Stand By Me, etc... are great films, it's the more recent ones that got me thinking this. Films like Dreamcatcher and The Mist.

A lot of it comes down to aesthetics too. The majority of the later adaptions have been made for TV. I still watch and enjoy most of 'em anyways and I'd rather watch an adaption of his later stuff than reading his books. |
I thought 1408 was really average. It was like The Shining-lite

You liked 1408, but didn't like The Mist?
...to each their own, I guess.:confused: |
