As the best Stephen King movies show, some of his adaptations are better than others. In fact, most of them are pretty mediocre. Only a handful or so are great, and a handful below them are good. It has proven difficult for most productions to reach the emotional or suspenseful heights of the famous author's bestselling prose, let alone make a movie that fans of the novelist will feel compelled to watch more than once.
Starring Thomas Jane, Neal McDonough, and Molly Parker, the movie is told in retrospect from the husband's perspective. In a world inundated with movies and shows about someone who murders a dozen people or has to face off against countless villains, 1922 is able to show that taking just one life is destructive enough to the average person.
Release Date November 21, 2007 Director Frank Darabont Cast Thomas Jane , Marcia Gay Harden , Laurie Holden , Andre Braugher Runtime 126 minutes 8 'The Dead Zone' Directed by David Cronenberg In The Dead Zone, Christopher Walken plays a coma patient named Johnny Smith who wakes up as a clairvoyant. Through physical contact, he can see into people's lives and their loved ones' lives; this includes their pasts, presents, and even their futures.
There are some bone-chilling sequences here, and they largely work because of the film's sustained eeriness and ambiguity. Not to mention the numerous thematic layers this narrative takes on, working as an allegory for the dysfunctional American nuclear family, the ravaging of Native American lands, writer's block, and more.
3 'Misery' Directed by Rob Reiner Easily one of the most accessible horror movies ever made, Misery stars James Caan as a famous novelist who gets into an accident during a snowstorm. Kathy Bates plays the woman who kindly takes him into her own house to heal and unkindly makes him stay. She's his biggest fan, and now he needs to rewrite his final novel until she approves of the ending. Kathy Bates won an Oscar for her convincing performance as this bookish obsessive.
