If you’re wondering why we have only selected the top five Stephen King adaptations, it is because there are over 40 in total. Here’s the best of the best, ranked from worst to best.

5. Carrie (1976)

The original Carrie adaptation delivers all the horror of high school followed by all of the terror and suspense of a murder. Brian De Palma masterfully lures us into the mind of a paranoid teen in this sympathetic thriller.

4. IT (2017)

The IT remake is the highest-grossing horror movie of all time. The colorful blockbuster is tense, funny, and full of our favorite horror tropes. The sequel fell short of perfection but 2017’s IT was one of the most entertaining movies released that year.

3. The Green Mile

People often forget that the heart-breaking story of The Green Mile was originally written by Stephen King. There’s a reason that even the “toughest” macho men admit to crying over this masterpiece.

2. The Shining

Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining was so flawless that nobody has bothered trying to remake it since. Jack Nicholson’s portrayal of a man losing his mind is so convincing that the movie remains terrifying on the second or third rewatch.

1. The Shawshank Redemption

The Shawshank Redemption has spent years as the highest-rated movie on IMDB. Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman give stellar performances and the film is considered by even the harshest critics as flawless from start to finish.

It seems like another of Stephen King’s literary works is coming to the big screen. According to Deadline, King’s short story Rest Stop is being developed as a movie by Legendary.

Alex Ross Perry (Golden Exists) is set to direct and write the feature which has been described as a “propulsive cat and mouse thriller that follows the twisted journey of two women after a fateful encounter at a highway rest stop.”

According to the description, the film adaptation of Rest Stop might differ a lot from the source material which features just one main protagonist who is a male. These might not be the only changes Perry makes to the original story, but we will have to wait and see for the movie to come out in order to find this out.

Rest Stop was first published in 2003 in Esquire magazine and won National Magazine Award for Fiction a year later. The story was later included in Stephen King’s 2008 collection Just After Sunset.

Several other adaptations of King’s works are slated to be released in the near future including the highly anticipated It: Chapter Two and Doctor Sleep, the sequel to 1980’s cult horror The Shining.
