Stephen King recommends

"The Mist" (2007) - a film adaptation of King, probably one of the most shocking endings in the history of terrible movie. Steven himself looking into a scenario was shocked (he somehow ended up in a novel otherwise), he took off his hat to Darabont, and began to look forward to the reaction of the audience. And until now, "Greywalker" impossible to watch without final inconsolable «Whyyyy ??? !!!».
A group of people barricade at the supermarket from the terrible creatures that the rod of the thick fog, out of nowhere suddenly descended on the city. And when fear finally seizes hostages, each manifests itself in all its glory. Separately want to mention talented game Marcia Gay Harden as sbrendivshey religizonoy fans. Special effects, certainly not like the present, but for fans of Frank Darabont, "The Mist", however, will be a pleasant discovery.



Apt Pupil (1998)
Directed by Bryan Singer of all the many works of King chose the one that their subjects are still not so much frightening as hurting millions of people, including those who are familiar with these pages of world history only by hearsay. No one knows how many of those real old Kurts Dyussanderov, commanders of concentration camps, still hiding under assumed names from justice, but the young Todd Bowden, sick followers of Adolf, do not hesitate and do not fear anyone now.
The brilliant duo of Ian McKellen and Brad Renfro film brought several prestigious awards and a little notoriety: politically correct Americans thought that the film gives a mixed assessment of the main characters, not enough negative. If the director has left the original kingovsky final, in which the society itself commits retaliation over thirteen Nazi Todd, the average American viewer, obviously, I would have found a picture of complete and logical.
Among the fans of the King film adaptation is considered to be softer and lighter than the work itself, and accordingly, the worse and weaker. If you have not watched or read "Apt Pupil", suggested to start with the film. However, the author himself was pleased with the work of Singer and even supported him, playing a cameo.



Cujo (1983)
Agree, the phrase "forty shots in the stomach" any person in this place there is not a pleasant feeling. Rabies - another monster from the real world, which is, on the one hand, is somewhere far away in a sealed tube scientists, and with another - just around the corner, and if you often think about it, out of fear can be and all the neighbors Tuzikov peretravit. < br /> With a few males, one actor in a dog's skin and some simple props in the form of a mechanical head director Lewis Teague back in 1983 recreated on the screen one of the novels of Stephen King, in which the protagonist of hiding the main problem of the writer - alcoholism. Mad dog Cujo, a hostage who was a brave mother with a small, exhausted dehydration old son, was eventually put to death, and the boy, contrary to the original text, stayed.
"Cujo" - a vivid example of what to film Stephen King so pleased to Stephen King and his legions of fans, not necessarily with a "green screen" and a huge budget.



Dolores Claiborne (1995)
A rare depth and psihilogizmu, misunderstood in its time adaptation of King's about a woman who killed her husband, defending his daughter from harassment. Actually, the book writer devoted to his mother, sharp-tongued and does not recognize the authority. The writer's father was absent, so the "kill" it was not terrible and blasphemous.
The image of Dolores Claiborne perfect fit actress Kathy Bates, playing, as it turns out later, one of his best roles, more multifaceted and complex than in the Oscar-winning film adaptation of "Misery." A director Taylor Hackford masterfully portrayed smooth transition time are so good at most Stephen King.



1408 (2007)
By the XXI century, the filmmakers finally learned how to film a "repeater otherworldly" so and to "relay" liked it, and the audience to please. In general, it is simple for John Cusack's role was its unexpected "finest hour" just due to the fact that in addition to the usual set of emotions inadequate writer, actor really is kingovski conveyed the atmosphere of the kind of madness that gives people from the outside, then to methodically devouring it from the inside.
The director Michael Hofstrema happened to catch all of the original story, from which there was a so-called special atmosphere of this horror, which, unlike many other kingovskih adaptations, and set the heat at the box office, almost paid off in the first weekend.



The Green Mile (1999) and The Shawshank Redemption (1994)
Both paintings ulterior motive liking the author of the original novel, which manages under one cover assembled into a pair of triple storylines hundreds of characters, each of which is decorated with a different story, and the whole array of permeated huge amount of sense.
"The Green Mile" and "Shawshank Redemption" have become classics of cinema and were entered in the list of favorite adaptations of Stephen King for the reason that both paintings are literally larded King - one that is a connoisseur of the human soul in all of the most bestial and the most noble manifestations. Definitely, a psychological thriller by Steve directors work out better than horror.





Misery (1990)
Perfect doubles Kathy Bates in the role of obsessed fans of the writer, and James Caan as this writer, by chance, was in her captivity, with broken legs, but in the sound memory, and with the whole hand. Unique in its conceived story about what happens when the creator is in the clutches of a fan, and a fan acts as a muse-nasilnitsy causing create a genius to their tune.
"Misery" - a godsend for fans of horror, in which the main element is a frightening insanity distorted face of the hero (in this case - the heroine, even worse), not the massacre or were born with the help of modern technology existent characters. Six years later, the same director to repeat his feat of labor - another "bloodless" the film adaptation of Stephen King by Rob Reiner will go to your favorite list from the master himself, namely ...



Stand by Me (1986)
In the work of Steve Pope many children and their children are often far from children's issues occupy a special, one might say, a place of honor. But the adventures that happen with these babies are always written into the overall concept of the writer - a terrible adventure, where instead of "coffin on wheels" and decayed corpses appear clowns.
"Stay with me" - the story of a boy from the 1950s who have recovered to the forest in search of the child's body, allegedly downed by train. Boys wanted fame and, of course, have fun. Merry march turns into an ordeal for them, in which young people undergoing rapid maturation.
In this case, as a director, and the children themselves, performing leading roles, this film helped to take the bar. Boys do not play as much as living their roles, so the powerful psychology, for which until now praising "Stay with me", fully pays no mysticism.



Storm of the Century (1999)
According to the book, written in the form of a screenplay, directed by Craig R. Baksli I shot the film in the form of a mini-series. Here it is, the appropriate format for the adaptations of Stephen King, as if designed specifically to give the main stay every hero. In combination with an almost verbatim reproduction of the dialogue, "Storm of the Century" was originally destined for favor from the original author.
World King in the miniseries so recognizable and so dear. A small island of peace in a huge contradictory world where ordinary Americans are living with their simple problems, suddenly turns into a center of attraction of evil. Traveler Andre Linozh (Colm Feore) was not dusty (with a blizzard which has not been seen for a hundred years) and needs to give him "what he wants." And yet not given, it will naturally create lawlessness.
This Lenozhe by Fiori has something of Hannibal Lecter, and itself "Storm of the Century" has repeatedly been compared with the "Silence of the Lambs" - density of suspense, which is a mini-series accumulates in four and a half hours. For total immersion in "The Tempest" is recommended to overcome it one spectator effort.

Thus, the writer, to the extent that we all intimidated by the fear that we have made it the richest writer in the world, it turns out, he is not averse to watch horror movies at night. And mind you, not something slasher, when dead bodies on the screen more than the living, and very real, "Moldova" horror and psychological thriller slozhnoskonstruirovannye. A good taste of Stephen King, do not say anything.
