Film and television adaptations of Stephen King's work have been around for nearly 50 years. While some are really not worth mentioning because they were terrible reimaginings of the books, there are some real hidden gems. But despite their unpopularity, they appear extremely refreshing now, in the 2020s, so here are three underrated Stephen King movies that are sure to impress you.
Stephen King's Hidden Gems That Deserve More Attention
3. Storm of the Century
2. The Mangler
1. Sleepwalkers
Storm of the Century is technically a TV series, but it consists of three one-and-a-half-hour episodes, so it can certainly be listed with other movies. King personally wrote the script, making it an original project rather than an adaptation of his books. The action takes place in a remote village on the island of Little Tall, where one Andre Linoge arrives. He has claimed to be an ancient sorcerer who will only leave...

"There's a person you know who is not who they say they are." Who?! Who could it be?? Level 33 Ent. has debuted an official trailer for a very cheesy crime thriller titled Deadly Justice, made by filmmaker Karyn Klein, from a screenplay written by actor Corin Nemec. This film is set for a VOD debut in April, though this really looks like made-for-tv junk. A successful female prosecutor who put away a prominent but corrupt Judge, has her life and business turned upside down by a murderous stalker after appearing on a true crime show to discuss the case. He is convinced that Judge Halstead is an innocent man and becomes hellbent on putting Holly away for good. The movie stars Kelly Sullivan, Brian Krause, Corin Nemec, Christiana Leucas, Jason London, and Marco St. John. That super specific final scene from the trailer makes me wonder if it's actually the...

"It's your basic down-and-dirty horror movie. It has one purpose, which is to scare you, and entertain you, and give you that funhouse experience where you scream your head off and then you laugh because you feel kind of silly."
So said Stephen King about "Sleepwalkers," the first screenplay he wrote directly for the screen. This was not an adaptation of one of his works — this was something he penned specifically for the movies, and that was the selling point. We weren't just getting a new Stephen King movie — it was Stephen King's first original screenplay! The poster even boasts that this is "The first Stephen King story written expressly for the scream." And what was this original tale of terror about? Incestuous werecats, of course! We're talkin' deeply horny cat-monsters.
"Sleepwalkers" is indeed a down-and-dirty horror movie. And it is kind of silly. It's a sleazy, cheesy bit of pop art,...

Shannen Doherty is setting the record straight about her infamous firing (yes, she was fired) from The WB’s Charmed. The Dec. 18 episode of Doherty’s Let’s Be Clear podcast features the second half of her interview with sister witch Holly Marie Combs, during which they recall the “her or me” situation with Alyssa Milano that ultimately led to Doherty’s untimely exit in 2001.
“I just want to make sure everyone knows that there’s zero hate here,” Doherty begins. “The past is definitely done and over with, and it’s not even like we really talk about this at all.

On October 7, 1998, a series premiered that would go on to “charm” viewers for eight years. The Halliwell sisters find out they are powerful witches, who must use their combined “Powers of Three” to protect innocents and save the world from the dark side. Shannen Doherty, Holly Marie Combs, Alyssa Milano and (later) Rose McGowan took on the roles of Prue, Piper, Phoebe and Paige, and made “Charmed” one of the biggest hits for the fledgling WB network.

Stars: Kristos Andrews, Louis Mandylor, Brian Krause, Tom Sizemore | Written by Brandon Slagle, Robert Thompson | Directed by Brandon Slagle
Prolific director Brandon Slagle opens his latest film centring on a speeding car, as Vincent Baros (Kristos Andrews) drives from a successful score. A shootout with a pursuing car ends with the driver being shot, only to reveal his status as an undercover police officer. This results in a prison sentence for Vincent, where he is visited by his estranged father, Alex (Louis Mandylor).
Any hopes of mending their relationship are interrupted when the maximum-security prison is taken over, as terrorist mastermind Max Chandler (Brian Krause) recruits the prisoners while making demands to the hostage negotiator (Tom Sizemore).

Shannen Doherty joined her former Charmed co-stars Holly Marie Combs, Rose McGowan, Drew Fuller, Brian Krause, and Dorian Gregory at That’s 4 Entertainment’s 90s Con in Hartford, Connecticut, and defended the show’s reboot. When a fan booed the mention of the newer CW series, which ended last year, Doherty responded, “Not cool… Don’t boo to people who supply literally hundreds and hundreds of people with their job.” Doherty, who played Prue Halliwell in the original hit series, added that “the new Charm is also for a younger generation,” noting, “I’ve met a lot of people that have bonded just like all of you have bonded, right where this Charmed got you through a lot of life experiences [and] brought you and your family close to get closer together, there’s a whole other generation that felt the same thing with the new Charmed.” Nick Cinea, courtesy of...

In this edition of The Silver Lining, we’ll be tackling Mick Garris and Stephen King’s unfairly maligned Sleepwalkers!
For every successful Stephen King adaptation, there are usually a handful of lesser projects lurking in its shadow. From Dreamcatcher to Lawnmower Man, the King of Horror actually has quite a few box-office bombs under his belt, with some fans justifying this by claiming that adaptations miss out on crucial inner monologues and emotional subtext. However, there is one Stephen King project that suggests that there might be more to the middling reception of some of these movies than the adaptational process.
Naturally, I’m referring to Mick Garris’ Sleepwalkers, the one and only time that Stephen King wrote a story specifically for the big screen. Back in the early 90s, King’s tales were already sizzling hot properties at movie studios, so Columbia Pictures immediately accepted King’s offer...

The Roku Channel, which entered the original programming realm this year with its acquisition of shows from failed streaming startup Quibi, has slated the premiere of action drama Cypher.
The series will have its premiere on March 19 in the U.S. and Canada. Roku emphasized that the show is a licensed program, not, in its view, a true original since it was produced elsewhere and owned by a third party during production.
Still, the Roku run will be the first appearance for the seven-episode show on any domestic platform. It will be free for viewers on the Roku Channel, the ad-supported outlet that Roku recently said has reach to households with 63 million people. The channel’s viewership has doubled over the past year.

McLaughlin is producing with Jaye Gazeley, under their Canadian-based production company Marauder Films, along with Gabrielle Almagor. Filming is slated to commence next year.
Sarafian is a veteran TV director and executive producer, whose credits include House, Swamp Thing, Rosewood, among a number of others. He’s repped by The Gersh Agency and Zero Gravity Management.

However, in a recent interview with Pedestrian, Brian Krause who played Leo, has downplayed how much of a drama this did actually cause on set. Krause has said that Doherty was always very driven about her work, and that sometimes she could come across as quite abrupt. However, he also said that there was no one else on the set

Low budget police drama meets camp biblical nonsense – demons and the horsemen of the apocalypse. To me The Demonologist sounds like a lot of fun (albeit the title sounds like a failed course from a failing university).
I have a soft spot for under paid, over worked (fictional) professional monster hunters. Be they John Constantine (in the comics), Giles from Buffy or Harry Dresden (in the books). I love these grumpy, surly individuals that ultimately end up doing the right thing when the stakes are stacked high enough against them.
Which takes us nicely into talking about The Demonologist. This is very much an origin story. Our “Demonologist” starts out as just another cliched,...

I remember seeing Sleepwalkers as a kid when it first hit HBO, and wondering why I was watching a movie where a cat monster had sex with his mom and tried to suck the lifeforce out of his girlfriend. At the time, I wasn’t quite old enough to appreciate where writer Stephen King and director Mick Garris were going with all of this, but when I popped in Scream Factory’s new Blu-ray release, I was much more tuned in to the movie’s “creature feature meets Flowers in the Attic” vibe.
Sleepwalkers fits right in with the crazy, melodramatic movies that came out of the early ‘90s, like John Carpenter’s In the Mouth of Madness or Tobe Hooper’s The Mangler. What Garris brings to King’s original screenplay (not based on one of his previous stories) is an ability to blend elements of the morose and...

(Warning: This post contains spoilers for Sunday’s series premiere of The CW’s “Charmed” reboot — and decades-old spoilers for the original series.)
Something wicked this way came to The CW Sunday: the series premiere of the network’s “Charmed” reboot.
The magical IP’s return to the small screen was eagerly anticipated by viewers excited to see a new tale of sisterhood — and not to so eagerly by die-hard fans of the series starring Shannen Doherty, Holly Marie Combs, Alyssa Milano, and later Rose McGowan, which ran on the now-defunct WB network from 1998-2006.

It’s been 20 years since “Charmed” premiered on the now-defunct WB network, and Piper Halliwell and her whitelighter Leo Wyatt still rank among the top on-screen couples of all time. That’s partially because of the magic of the series, partially because of the hell the show put their A-couple through, and partially because Brian Krause and Holly Marie Combs are just fantastic scene partners.
In honor of the Power of Three turning the big 2-0, TheWrap spoke with Krause about his “Charmed” life, including Piper and Leo’s never-ending drama, where he lands in the Paige vs. Prue debate, and his thoughts on The CW’s upcoming reboot (which Combs isn’t really a fan of).
And, yes, he’s aware of all the jokes that are made about Leo, ever the pacifist, being constantly steamrolled by Piper, Prue (Shannen Doherty), Phoebe (Alyssa Milano) and Paige (Rose McGowan) on a daily basis.

Sad news, Charmed fans.
After reports recently circulated that Shannen Doherty and Alyssa Milano were in talks to reprise the hit WB show, their co-star Holly Marie Combs shut it down.
