The boys who appear in the work have some problems in their families, and the leading role Goudi is ignored by his father since his brother died and friends of Gordy Chris is parents of alcoholism. The story of this movie is to go out to find such corps that such boys are left in the forest.

YouTube - The Shining - Hallway Scene (Sisters)


"Shining" is one of the most familiar and well-respected films in King's original movies, but its contents are far from the original, and King strongly condemned it. The story's topic is common, and Jack Trance, a novelist-oriented choreographer, lives with the family as a manager during the off season in a hotel closed closed by snow in winter, but the evil Jack is going to attack the family due to the influence of the force. In the movie version and the original, there is a big difference in this character of Jack.

5th place:"Sleepwalkers"(1992 Public Director:Mick Gallis)

YouTube - Sleepwalkers - Cat attack !!


"Sleepwalkers" is based on King's original work of the same name, but it is not a movie of novels, but rather a script written by King for his movies. . The story is that the mother and child of the insult demon sleepwalker sucking virginity's vigor is seeking prey, and SFX-like element which parent and child turns into sleep walker is also incorporated. In the process King itself himselfCameo appearance.

Orsillo says "The leading role of this movie is a cat," he says, "People who actually watched this movie will enjoy cats' activities better than the movies themselves."

4th:"Fang of the Dead"(Public Director of 1985:Daniel Atias)

YouTube - Stephen King's Silver Bullet (11/11)


The original title is "SILVER BULLET", the novel of the same name is the original, but this also King writes the script. The story that a boy will not trust adults but a boy will fight a wolf man lurking alone in the town, as a murderer happens on a full moon night in an American country town and a boy who got on a wheelchair noticed the work of a wolf man. Although a wolf man appears in the scene taken up in the movie, cheapness is oozed out in the costume and even love like a stuffed animal is felt.

Orsillo said about this movie "The composition is slow and the final confrontation is not very exciting," he says, "Although this film may have been made for children, the movie itself It is age-restricted due to R designation, obviously setting the target wrong. "

3rd place:"The nightmare of the basement"(Public Director of 1990:Ralph S. Singleton)

YouTube - Graveyard Shift (1990) Trailer


Cthulhu mythA writer who created a work group calledH.P. LovecraftI set up a fictional town such as Arkham and Inmas as the stage of the work group, but King who is also a big fan of Lovecraft uses this idea, even my work"Castle Rock"I made a fictitious town called "Multiple Works". This "nightmare of the basement" also seems to be the stage of Castle Rock, and the story is also reminiscent of "someone in the wall" of the Lovecraft, somewhat that the monster is ... in the basement of a factory where a large number of rats go round ... It is getting. By the way, the stage of that "stand by me" is actually Castle Rock.

Orsillo's rating is "The only fun part in this movie is Brad Dourif (Lord of the RingHe appeared as a serpent 's tongue grimmer) and his eccentric pest control agent is really fun. "

Second place:"Mangler"(Public Director of 1995:Toby Hooper)

YouTube - The Mangler (Trailer)


This is also the New England countryside, but Castle Rock is not stated. In the work of the feeling that Toby Hooper liked movies without permission, based on King's initial short story "human press", the story told that the devil will transfer to the press machine "Mangler" at the cleaning plant and start attacking humans A stupid thing."Silence of the Lambs"Played Buffalo Bill atTed LevinWhen,"Nightmare on Elm Street"Played Freddie in roleRobert EnglandCo-starring. In addition to Director Tobey Hooper"Satan Sorrowful"I am overseeing.

Orsillo says "Although the scene where Mangler chases people in the film last is not bad, remember that this monster is actually a cleaning press machine."

First place:"Devil Truck of Hell"(1986 Director: Steven King)

YouTube - Death by Soda


The majestic worst 1 is Steven King 's "devil track of hell" of the script. Even though it's a ridiculous story about just setting the setting that the machines on the planet will runaway one after another with the influence of a comet that grazed the earth, on the setting of a gas station in the country's countryside, It is a thrown and absurd thing and it has become a work that you can see vividly the ridiculous world view that King prefers quietly. King is also a fan of musicAC / DCHe is in charge.

Orsillo says "The most attractive thing in this movie is the soundtrack by AC / DC", "'Hell devil truck' is the biggest fear that Steven King can draw, I have proven that I am to oversee with him. "
