PLOT: Three youngsters venture into the Western Wood where they encounter a terrifying ancient spirit.

REVIEW: It’s always so cool when a company is able to release a surprise episode. While fans certainly speculated it would happen with Stranger Things, Welcome to Derry is answering those wishes and giving us A Story of Derry. It tells the tale of a Native American tribe who are struggling to find food. Three young members of the tribe head to the forbidden “Western Woods.” They immediately regret their decision and see that the legend of the woods is true. And I’m sure we can all guess what that is.

The cast is mostly filled out with unknowns, though Dark Winds‘ Zahn McClarnon shows up in an intriguing role. Obviously, there’s no Bill Skarsgård, as Pennywise doesn’t get its Bob Gray form till later in the story. It does suck to not have the actor around, as all the best episodes of the show featured him. However, we still get that classic Pennywise attitude whenever the monster speaks to someone while in other forms. It’s also pretty interesting to see Pennywise take up the form of a Moose and cause so much destruction. It really highlights the sort of damage that it can do when he’s not trying to farm fear from his victims.

A Story of Derry has an almost Prey aesthetic to it, with its focus on a young Native American girl. This goes the Hunt for Red October route (and the former film), with the episode starting out in the Native tongue, only to switch to English after a few lines. I still think this is the ideal way to present the story with a foreign tongue to an English-speaking audience. I don’t mind subtitles myself, but it’s clear that the average viewer isn’t a fan so this is a nice sacrifice.

The biggest aspect of this surprise episode, and what makes it all worth it, is that we finally get a more prominent look at Maturin the Turtle, who is given an awesome cosmic appearance, made up of the cosmos. It’s such an interesting visual, and I’m glad they were finally able to see the character in physical form (even if it takes place during a drug-induced trip). Here’s hoping this isn’t the last of him, and the creators are more comfortable with showing him.

As was often the case with Welcome to Derry, the characters can make some colossally stupid decisions that end up getting people, sometimes themselves, killed. I do wish they’d done a little better job getting characters from Point A to B without relying on them losing some brain cells in order to accomplish it. But this doesn’t exactly have time on its side, and needs to get things going. There’s also some good tension towards the beginning, but the time constraints mean that Pennywise has to make an appearance very quickly. I was hoping that we’d get a little more of the mind games and manipulation, but if anything, that tells us what place the monster is in its development.

A Story of Derry is only 30 minutes in length, and doesn’t really tell us anything that any loyal King fan wasn’t already aware of. But it gives some added depth and some more straightforward explanations of things that have been mentioned throughout the show and movies. As such, some people will probably see this as a waste of time, but I feel like it was a fun little surprise for fans. It wouldn’t fit in with a full season as it would feel too much like a detour, so this little side story was the perfect way to tell it. I hope this and other series take advantage of being able to tell these stories that give the main seasons even more depth. And it’s just a bonus that this dropped on Halloween.

A Story of Derry is Now Streaming on HBO Max.

Stephen King is one of the most successful and influential authors of all time, and his stories have inspired some of the most memorable movies in cinema history. While King is best known for horror, the films adapted from his novels and short stories span psychological thrillers, supernatural mysteries, coming-of-age dramas, prison stories, and science fiction. From The Shawshank Redemption and Stand by Me to The Shining, the best Stephen King movies demonstrate just how far his storytelling can reach beyond the page.

But which adaptations stand above the rest? For this list, we’re ranking the 10 best Stephen King movies of all time, focusing exclusively on feature films rather than television adaptations or miniseries. Our selections consider filmmaking, performances, how effectively each movie brings King’s material to the screen, and its lasting impact on audiences and the genre. Whether you’re a lifelong King fan or looking for the best place to start, these are the adaptations that deserve a spot on the list. Do you agree with our picks? Let us know in the comments.

#10 – The Green Mile (1999)

Director: Frank Darabont
Release Year: 1999
Genre: Fantasy / Drama / Crime

Frank Darabont has delivered some of the most acclaimed adaptations of Stephen King’s work, and The Green Mile is another powerful example. Based on King’s serialized novel, this three-hour drama initially resembles The Shawshank Redemption, but evolves into a supernatural story about compassion, injustice, and miracles on death row. Tom Hanks stars as prison guard Paul Edgecomb, whose life changes when he encounters John Coffey (Michael Clarke Duncan), a gentle inmate with an extraordinary gift.

Hanks delivers a moving performance, but Duncan is the film’s emotional centerpiece, bringing warmth and vulnerability to a character facing an unjust fate. With strong supporting work from Sam Rockwell and David Morse, The Green Mile blends prison drama with a Frank Capra-esque sense of wonder. It may lack the narrative precision of The Shawshank Redemption, but its emotional impact makes it one of the most memorable Stephen King adaptations.

#9 – The Long Walk (2025)

Director: Francis Lawrence
Release Year: 2025
Genre: Thriller / Drama / Dystopian

The Long Walk is my favorite of King’s Richard Bachman novels, and it’s sort of like The Hunger Games meets The Running Man, minus the running. Set in a dystopian future, the story follows 100 young men competing in an annual walking contest where they must maintain a speed of four miles per hour. Fall behind too many times, and you’re shot to death. As I wrote years ago, “I have never been enthralled by a book about walking before and probably never will be again.” That’s how much King’s deceptively simple premise got under my skin.

What makes director Francis Lawrence’s The Long Walk so gripping is the way it turns something as ordinary as walking into a relentless fight for survival. As the competitors grow exhausted and their numbers dwindle, the story becomes a harrowing examination of endurance, desperation, and the bonds formed between young men facing an unthinkable fate. There is no finish line worth celebrating for most of these young men, only the desperate hope that they can keep moving a little longer. The film’s emotional power comes from watching these competitors struggle to hold on to their humanity in a contest designed to strip it away, making The Long Walk a brutal and deeply affecting adaptation of one of King’s most unforgettable stories.

#8 – Creepshow (1982)

Director: George A. Romero
Release Year: 1982
Genre: Horror / Comedy / Anthology

Stephen King teaming with George Romero is a match made in movie geek heaven. Creepshow is a loving homage to the classic EC Comics horror titles, packed with pulpy storytelling, goofy humor, gruesome payoffs, and over-the-top performances. The anthology mixes adaptations of King’s short stories with original material written specifically for the film, with each segment delivering the kind of twisted fun that made those old comic books so memorable.

King’s original screenplays haven’t always fared well, but Creepshow demonstrates why he’s a master of short fiction as much as the epic novel. Romero understands the material’s comic book sensibility, embracing the outrageous gore and macabre punchlines rather than taking any of it too seriously. It’s a wonderfully entertaining collaboration between two horror legends, and one of the most distinctive adaptations of King’s work.

#7 – Pet Sematary (1989)

Director: Mary Lambert
Release Year: 1989
Genre: Horror / Supernatural

Mary Lambert’s Pet Sematary may never have been the critical darling of Stephen King adaptations, but it has earned a well-deserved cult following since its 1989 release. The film has its pacing issues, but there is no arguing that it delivers some of the most unforgettable nightmare fuel in King’s cinematic history. Based on a novel about a family that discovers a burial ground with the power to bring the dead back, the story taps into one of horror’s most unsettling fears: what happens when grief makes us willing to defy nature itself?

From little Gage returning to wreak havoc to the genuinely creepy Zelda flashbacks, Pet Sematary is haunting, disturbing, and absolutely scary. Lambert’s film may be rough around the edges, but its most horrifying moments have stayed with audiences for decades. It’s a grim reminder that sometimes the things we bring back are better left buried.

#6 – Carrie (1976)

Director: Brian De Palma
Release Year: 1976
Genre: Horror / Drama / Supernatural

The first Stephen King novel published was also the first to receive a feature film adaptation, and Brian De Palma’s Carrie remains the definitive version of this chilling story. Despite subsequent adaptations, including a lackluster sequel and remake, none have lived up to De Palma’s original. Drawing as much from Hitchcock’s mastery of suspense as from supernatural horror, the film follows a bullied teenage girl whose telekinetic powers erupt after years of abuse at home and humiliation at school.

Sissy Spacek delivers an unforgettable performance as Carrie White, with Piper Laurie equally terrifying as her fanatically religious mother. De Palma turns teenage cruelty, isolation, and psychological trauma into a genuinely frightening cinematic experience, culminating in one of horror’s most iconic finales. Nearly five decades later, Carrie remains a classic, and one hell of a scary movie.

#5 – Stand by Me (1986)

Director: Rob Reiner
Release Year: 1986
Genre: Drama / Coming-of-Age / Adventure

Based on Stephen King’s novella “The Body,” Stand by Me is one of those movies that represents an entire generation. Rob Reiner’s adaptation proved that King was far more than a master of horror, delivering a deeply personal coming-of-age story about four boys who set out to find the body of a missing teenager. Their adventure captures the excitement of childhood exploration while making room for candid conversations about friendship, family troubles, mortality, and the uncertain road to adulthood.

What makes Stand by Me so special is how authentic its young characters feel, with Wil Wheaton, River Phoenix, Corey Feldman, and Jerry O’Connell forming an unforgettable ensemble. This film is one of Reiner’s finest achievements and a reminder that King’s stories can be just as powerful without a supernatural threat lurking around the corner. It’s an enduring classic about the friends we make when we’re young and the memories that stay with us long after we’ve grown up.

#4 – The Shining (1980)

Director: Stanley Kubrick
Release Year: 1980
Genre: Horror / Psychological Thriller

As a film, The Shining is amazing. Stanley Kubrick and Stephen King famously disagreed over the adaptation, and the movie is far from a faithful interpretation of King’s novel, but that doesn’t diminish its greatness. Kubrick took King’s story of a family trapped in an isolated hotel and transformed it into a chilling, visually stunning descent into madness, proving what can happen when one of cinema’s greatest filmmakers adapts the work of one of our finest contemporary authors.

Jack Nicholson delivers an iconic performance as Jack Torrance, a writer whose winter caretaker job at the Overlook Hotel becomes a terrifying nightmare for his wife and son. From the hotel’s unnerving atmosphere to Kubrick’s meticulous compositions and unforgettable imagery, The Shining is a masterclass in cinematic horror. It may not be the Stephen King adaptation the author envisioned, but it stands as one of the greatest horror films ever made.

#3 – Misery (1990)

Director: Rob Reiner
Release Year: 1990
Genre: Psychological Thriller / Horror

Rob Reiner’s second adaptation of a Stephen King novel is one of the most suspenseful films of his career. Kathy Bates earned a well-deserved Academy Award for her terrifying portrayal of Annie Wilkes, an obsessive fan who rescues her favorite author, Paul Sheldon (James Caan), after a car accident, only to make him her prisoner. Caan is equally brilliant as a man forced to rely on his wits while trying to escape the increasingly dangerous attentions of the woman who claims to love him.

Set largely within Annie’s isolated home, Misery proves that a compelling thriller doesn’t need a sprawling story or a parade of elaborate set pieces to keep audiences on edge. Reiner steadily ratchets up the tension, while Bates shifts effortlessly between disarming warmth and outright menace, creating one of the most memorable villains in King’s body of work. The result is an intensely claustrophobic battle of wills that remains as nerve-racking today as it was in 1990, and ranks among the very best movies of that decade.

#2 – The Shawshank Redemption (1994)

Director: Frank Darabont
Release Year: 1994
Genre: Drama / Prison

Many consider it a travesty that The Shawshank Redemption lost the Best Picture Oscar to Forrest Gump, although I still think Pulp Fiction should have won that year. Regardless, the film didn’t achieve the level of acclaim it enjoys today until it found an audience on home video. Since then, Frank Darabont’s adaptation of Stephen King’s novella “Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption” has become one of the most beloved movies of all time, consistently ranking among IMDb’s highest-rated films and remaining a staple of cable television. Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman are spectacular as Andy Dufresne and Red, two prisoners who form an unlikely friendship while navigating the brutal realities of life behind bars.

What makes The Shawshank Redemption so powerful is its belief in the resilience of the human spirit, even in a place designed to strip people of their dignity and hope. Darabont balances the harshness of prison life with moments of humor, compassion, and quiet triumph, while Robbins and Freeman give the story its emotional heart. It’s another outstanding example of King’s range as a storyteller, proving that the author best known for horror can also deliver a deeply moving drama about friendship, perseverance, and the enduring power of hope.

#1 – The Mist (2007)

Director: Frank Darabont
Release Year: 2007
Genre: Horror / Science Fiction / Thriller

Frank Darabont films represent three of the movies on this list, but The Mist is the one I believe deserves the number one spot. It is a perfect representation of Stephen King’s sense of horror, combined with a master filmmaker’s eye for framing, atmosphere, and storytelling. Thomas Jane leads a stellar ensemble cast as a father trying to protect his son after a mysterious mist engulfs their town and brings terrifying creatures with it. But what makes the film so effective is how Darabont understands that the real horror isn’t necessarily lurking outside the supermarket. As fear and desperation take hold, the people trapped inside become just as dangerous as the monsters surrounding them.

Then there’s that ending. Few movies have delivered a finale as gut-wrenching as The Mist, and Darabont’s willingness to take the story to such a devastating conclusion is a major reason I rank it above every other Stephen King adaptation. It’s horrifying, emotionally brutal, and impossible to forget once the credits roll. The Mist captures everything I love about King’s storytelling while showcasing what happens when his work is given the best cinematic treatment possible. For me, it’s not just one of the best King adaptations ever made; it’s the best.

The trailer has arrived for Jeffrey Dollmer, an upcoming horror movie that takes the idea of a killer doll in an especially disturbing direction. The film imagines a doll possessed by the spirit of notorious serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer, and Uncork’d Entertainment is preparing to release it on VOD and digital platforms on November 3, 2026.

The title alone is likely to provoke strong reactions. Using the name and likeness of a real-life serial killer, particularly one responsible for the murders of 17 men and boys, is a choice many viewers will find offensive. The film is clearly courting controversy with its premise. For those who are interested in extreme, provocative horror, however, Jeffrey Dollmer is on the way.

Directed by Mark Savage (Marauders, Purgatory Road), Jeffrey Dollmer was written by John Doolan (Popeye the Slayer Man) and producer Jeff Miller (Clowntown). The cast includes Charlie Trepany, Chey Crieger, Juliana Destefano, Adam Huss, Eva Hamilton, and Tom Parnell, with Brian Joseph Mange as Jeffrey Dahmer. Jeffrey Reddick, the original writer of Final Destination, also makes a cameo appearance.

The synopsis for the film reads:

“Dahmer finds a doll in 1991 and performs a ritual in an attempt to transfer his spirit into it, but is captured before he can finish his evil plans. For decades, the doll remains locked away in police evidence—until it is finally discarded and finds its way back into the world. In the present day, the doll’s spirit is accidentally summoned and quickly latches onto a young model who bears a resemblance to its former owner. When the model travels to a remote photo shoot, the possessed doll follows, turning the isolated set into a killing ground as it begins stalking fellow competitors and co-workers.”

Miller previously announced plans to launch the Twisted Serial Killer Universe, with Jeffrey Dollmer and Ted Bunny serving as its first two entries. The latter film is being directed by Michael Fredianelli from a screenplay he wrote with producer Maralynn Adams. Its cast includes Diana Roman, Zanna Wyant, Brad Satterwhite, and Dee Wallace.

That means Jeffrey Dollmer isn’t necessarily intended to be a one-off oddity. It’s the opening installment of a planned horror universe built around outrageous, fictionalized takes on notorious real-life killers. Whether audiences embrace that concept, the filmmakers are certainly putting a provocative idea on the table.

Monarch: Legacy of Monsters is getting ready to roar again after securing a Season 3 renewal, and this time, the series is stomping in a fresh direction! According to Apple TV+ and Legendary Television, the newly greenlit season will introduce a batch of brand-new Titans to Legendary’s Monsterverse, giving creature feature diehards plenty of fresh mayhem to chew on.

Passing the Baton to Fresh Blood

To help the series land on a massive new foot, a search for a fresh showrunner and writing staff is officially underway. They’ll take the reins from the original creative team led by showrunner and executive producer Chris Black, who co-created Monarch alongside Season 1 executive producer Matt Fraction. Passing the baton on a tentpole franchise is always a gamble, but with the Monsterverse continuing to dominate both screens and high-end boutique disc releases, the potential here is sky-high.

Apple TV+ Doubles Down on Titans

Legendary, the power player that successfully locked down Monsterverse rights from Toho, is continuing to build out its sprawling Titan-filled ecosystem through a multi-series deal over at Apple TV+. The expanding lineup includes Monarch: Legacy of Monsters alongside an upcoming, untitled spinoff focusing on a Young Lee Shaw, with Wyatt Russell stepping back into the boots of Colonel Lee Shaw. Serving as showrunner for the series is Joby Harold, who is currently developing several other entries in the franchise alongside his producing partner, Tory Tunnell, via their Safehouse Pictures banner.

A Stacked Cast Enters the Fray

Joining Russell for the monster-sized offshoot is a stacked ensemble cast that includes Millie Brady, Pilou Asbæk, Corey Stoll, Ralph Ineson, Nyasha Hatendi, Connie Nielsen, and Stana Katic. On the executive producing front, Harold, Tunnell, and Russell are steering the ship alongside Andy Goddard, Kyle Bradstreet, Jim Skotchdopole, Max Borenstein, Chris Black, Alex Boden, and Toho’s own Hiro Matsuoka and Keiji Arita. Taking the helm behind the camera is JD Dillard, who pulls double duty as both director and executive producer.

The Kaiju Empire Keeps Stomping

Whether you’re tuning in on streaming or holding out hope for a steelbook release with room-shaking sound design to rattle your bones, one thing is clear: Legendary’s Kaiju empire isn’t slowing down anytime soon.

James “Murr” Murray, best known as one of the stars of Impractical Jokers, is one of the creative forces behind the giant spider horror movie Don’t Move, which is coming to Blu-ray and DVD this December. Based on the bestselling novel Murray co-wrote with Darren Wearmouth, the horror thriller blends creature feature scares with comedy as a church camping trip turns into a fight for survival against a prehistoric arachnid.

Don’t Move arrives on Blu-ray and DVD December 15, 2026, from Well Go USA Entertainment. The movie is available on digital now.

Murray co-wrote the original 2020 novel with Wearmouth and helped bring the story to the screen with director Maclain Nelson (Dudes & Dragons). The cast includes Lyndsy Fonseca (Kick-Ass, Nikita), rapper Russ Vitale (Trap), Hunter King (The Young and the Restless), Joseph Lee Anderson (Divorce in the Black), Tom Cavanagh (The Flash), and Rob Riggle (21 Jump Street, The Hangover).

Impractical Jokers’ Murr Turns His Horror Novel Into a Giant Spider Movie

For Murray, Don’t Move represents the realization of a longtime ambition: turning his books into movies and television projects. The story began as a novel he co-wrote with Wearmouth, but it was director Nelson who immediately recognized its potential as a creature feature. In an interview with Variety, Murray explained that adapting his books for the screen had always been part of his plan. Nelson, a longtime friend and creative collaborator, read Don’t Move in one sitting and saw an opportunity to combine monster movie thrills with a story about a community forced to work together.

Nelson compared the experience to watching Tremors, the beloved creature feature that balances deadly underground monsters with memorable characters and humor. That influence also informed the filmmaking approach, according to cinematographer Kristoffer Carrillo in an interview with SYFY Wire. Carrillo described Don’t Move as a throwback to the creature features and horror comedies of the 1990s.

What Is Don’t Move About?

In Don’t Move, a church group’s annual retreat takes a horrifying turn when its members wander into the wrong part of the Ozark wilderness. Deep in the forest, a prehistoric arachnid begins hunting them, using vibrations to detect potential prey. Suspicion initially falls on Ricky (Russ Vitale), the group’s troublemaker. But the campers soon discover that their real problem is a gigantic spider lurking in a web-filled cave. As the creature picks off its victims, Megan (Lyndsy Fonseca) must try to keep the survivors together and find a way out alive.

Nelson directed the film and co-wrote the screenplay with Murray and Wearmouth.

When Can You Watch Don’t Move?

Don’t Move is available on digital now and arrives on Blu-ray and DVD December 15, 2026, from Well Go USA Entertainment.

The film runs approximately 94 minutes and is rated R for bloody images, some violent content, and language.

For Impractical Jokers fans, the release offers a chance to see Murr pursue a very different kind of entertainment project. For horror fans, it promises a giant prehistoric spider and a group of desperate campers, which sounds like the makings of a great time to me.

Will you be buying Don’t Move on Blu-ray and/or DVD? Let us know by leaving a comment below – and if you have already watched the movie, let us know what you thought of it!

Update: LaKeith Stanfield has dropped out of Molepeople, and director Rob Savage is out as well due to scheduling conflicts. Ben Wheatley (Normal) will be replacing Savage.

—Original article follows—

THR reports that LaKeith Stanfield and Ben Mendelsohn will star in Molepeople for Blumhouse Atomic Monster and Paramount Primal. Rob Savage (Other Mommy) will direct from a script by Nathan Elston. During New York Comic-Con, Savage teased that the film is a subterranean horror movie “in the vein of Texas Chainsaw Massacre and The Hills Have Eyes.” I’m down.

Molepeople

Molepeople will follow “a man who descends into the abandoned tunnels beneath New York City, where he discovers a twisted society lurking beneath the streets.” Production is slated to begin in the U.K. at the end of November or in early December. Always love a good subterranean creature movie, so I’ll be keeping an eye on this one.

The film is set to be co-financed and co-produced by Blumhouse Atomic Monster and Paramount, with Paramount handling worldwide distribution. Producers include Jason Blum, Paramount Primal’s J.D. Lifshitz and Raphael Margules, and James Harris. Executive producers include Ryan Turek, Tracy Rosenblum, Elston, and Savage.

Molepeople has already been slated for an August 27, 2027 release.

Other Mommy

Savage has a film in theaters right now, but it’s been receiving scathing reviews. Other Mommy stars Jessica Chastain as a mother who must do everything to protect her daughter from a supernatural entity that resembles her.

Initially, there was some real hype for Other Mommy, particularly after the teaser trailer attached to Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey scared the hell out of audiences. Unfortunately, once it was released, that hype vanished. Our own Tyler Nichols was disappointed, saying the film was “nothing more than lame jump scares and Jessica Chastain trying to make the most of it.“

He continued, “Sadly, despite a promising trailer, Other Mommy follows the usual Blumhouse formula, focusing more on a viral marketing campaign than on making a legitimately good film. While the visuals can be top-notch, the story is a constant letdown, prioritizing jump scares over meaningful connection with the audience.” You can check out the rest of his review right here.

Hopefully, Molepeople fares better.
