Carrie was King's first novel, and naturally, his first hit movie adaptation. King, like most, is a big fan of Brian De Palma's movie, saying in a 1978 interview with Cinefantastique that he "liked De Palma’s film of Carrie quite a bit." He did say in a 2010 interview with Florida Weeklythat he now found the film a bit dated. Here's his full quote ...
Salem's Lot was the first King book to become a TV miniseries, and remains a cultural touchstone for many vampire fans. King never discussed the program at much length, but upon director Tobe Hooper's death in 2017 tweeted: "Sorry to hear Tobe Hooper passed. He did a terrific job directing the ‘Salem’s Lot miniseries, back in the day. He will be mi...
Of all King's opinions on the adaptations of his work, his negative feelings on The Shining are the most well-known. Although, he did say that Mike Flanagan's Doctor Sleep helped him come to appreciate Stanley Kubrick's film a tad more. Here's King's quotes on The Shining from a 2016 interview with Deadline: Related: Salem’s Lot: Biggest Difference...
Famously, King was so drunk and high during the early 1980s that he can't remember writing Cujo. While he hasn't discussed the film version at length, he did say in the aforementioned Deadline piece that he considers it the best of "the smaller pictures," meaning adaptations made on the cheap.
1984's first entry in what would become an inexplicably massive franchise is another title King hasn't discussed in great detail, but in that same Deadline interview, he touched on the film briefly: "I could do without all of the Children of the Corn sequels. I actually like the original pretty well."
In a 1986 interview with American Film magazine, King made it pretty clear how much he isn't a fan of Firestarter's movie adaptation, and he did it rather bluntly. Here's his full quote:
Maximum Overdrive was Stephen King's infamously bad debut - and finale - as a film director, but it's earned a cult following as a "so bad its good" bit of cheesy fun. As part of the 2003 book Hollywood's Stephen King, King said of Maximum Overdrive: "The problem with that film is that I was coked out of my mind all through its production, and I di...
This King opinion is second-hand, but he's since said similar things himself. According to director Rob Reiner, King was so touched by Stand by Me that after a private screening, he went to Reiner and said (according to the Chicago Tribune) "That's the best film ever made out of anything I've written, which isn't saying much. But you've really capt...
While it has a sizable following, King isn't a fan of The Running Man movie, not appreciating how much it deviated from his story, and disapproving of the casting of Arnold Schwarzenegger in the lead. He even went as far as barring his name from the marketing. King once told Cinemafantastique (via We Minored in Film): “It was totally out of my hand...
King doesn't often comment on the adaptations he's directly involved with, which makes sense to an extent. He has stated some rather mixed opinions on Pet Sematary though, despite writing the screenplay. He told the following to Cinefantastiquein 1991:
