It
is interestig that Stephen King is primarily known as a horror writer,
moreover, the „king of horror“, and that the best movies based on his works are
not the horror movies. There are two beautifull Rob Rainer’s movies: advanture
drama on childhood, Stand by Me (1986) and thriller Misery (1990), and two
movies which plot is placed in jails, both directed by Frank Darabont: The
Shawshank Redemption (1994) and Green Mile (1999). There is also a lot of
horror films made upon his books, but the most of them are bad. The good ones
are: Brian de Palma’s Carrie (1976), Stanley Kubrick’s Shining (1980), David
Cronenberg’s Dead Zone (1983), John Carpenter’s Christine (1983) and Marc Pavia’s
Nightflier (1997).
