(This is a guide to theatrically released King adaptations. So let’s get this fire started with all rated Stephen King movie adaptations by Tomatometer! In recent years, it’s been about cats ( Pet Sematary), clowns ( It Chapter Two), and kids ( Doctor Sleep). But nope, there was also Misery and The Green Mile!
