Unsettling performance. Of the movie King said “I had hopes but I was not prepared for how good it really was.” It: Chapter 2 is a pretty solid entry as well but there’s nothing quite like the first terrifying film.Worst: Cell 2016Although John Cusack and Samuel L. Jackson found success in 2007 with the adaptation of King’s 1408 the duo’s 2016 outing didn’t pan out so well. Initially horror great Eli Roth Hostel was set to direct Cell but that didn’t pan out either. And even though King co-wrote the script the rather forgettable Cell suffers from being stuffed with genre cliches.CELL from left: Samuel L.

In it Cusack’s character struggles to reunite with his son after a strange broadcast over the global cell phone network turns countless humans into animalistic zombies. Unfortunately Cell is lacking in tension and feels downright generic. The bottom line: It’s a bad zombie film and a bad King adaptation.Best: The Dead Zone 1983Set in Castle Rock Maine The Dead Zone is a bit more of a science-fiction thriller than a straight up horror film. Still it manages to incorporate some otherworldly elements that make it feel like a part of King’s larger horror-verse. A review for The New York Times perhaps put it best noting that.
The Dead Zone is “a well-acted drama” and “more eerie than terrifying more rooted in the occult than in sheer horror.”HE DEAD ZONE Christopher Walken 1983 cParamountcourtesy Everett CollectionAt the beginning of the film Johnny Smith Christopher Walken has a coma-inducing car accident. When Johnny wakes five years have passed and his former girlfriend is married with a child. The supernatural element comes into play when Johnny learns that he can see aspects of peoples’ lives by touching them. This ability helps him solve a string of murders and later encourages him to try and change the course of the future. We won’t spoil anything but just know that this David
