Top 11 Stephen King Movies - Nostalgia Critic

[@CycloneShadowYT]

He did a whole review of "The Mist" last year for nostalgia-ween. If you wanna know why it's not on this list, go watch his review.

[@allancandaza]

The mist hahaha its sucked ass hahaha

[@primraydreamer9049]

Nostalgia Critic did a review on The Mist. I highly recommend you guys watch it to see Doug's opinion on it and why he didn't include it on this list.

[@alibrennan5977]

Fun fact: my older sister accidentally caught a glimpse of the scene where the baby got run over in pet semetary at 5 years old and it scarred her for life 😅

[@justinsigler1565]

Hopefully it also teaches her to look both ways before crossing traffic as well

[@alibrennan5977]

@@justinsigler1565 she has kids now around that age so she definitely does

[@kammhia397gaming9]

Seeing Creepshow at number one is a nice change for once it usually be the Shinning or Shawshank pretty nice to see this being number one on someone's list.

[@humanimalhedgehog123]

On your point about Stephen King wanting his name on everything, there's actually one exception (besides the shining that nick mentioned). The film Lawnmower Man was so far removed from his story that King sued to get his name taken off of it.

[@sirhenrymorgan1187]

Poor Doug, he made a vid earlier today about his health taking a bad turn. Nothing serious, but the shingles virus is still lingering in his body and he's not feeling too hot. Sometimes these symptoms can last for months! Let's hope Doug gets better sooner rather than later.

[@futuremovieactor]

My grandmother has Bells Palsy right now. Hopefully she's better soon too.

[@weirdguy1495]

I will always be bummed that Green Mile was left out of the list, but I'm glad it was on the honorable mentions at least.

[@WraythSkitzofrenik]

Same. I would put that over 1408.

[@weirdguy1495]

@@WraythSkitzofrenik I would have it switch places with Shawshank, personally.

[@Wolf_Dominic]

@@weirdguy1495Personally, i feel that The Shawshank Redemption was the better between the two, though they’re both definitely great movies.

[@SJ_RANKS]

I love creepshow it replicates old EC horror comics like tales from the crypt,vault of horror and haunt of fear and maybe it’s just me but creepshow feels more like tales from the crypt than the hbo series and the movies and I think demon knight is pretty good with billy Zane being an absolute delight but creepshow is one of a kind

[@sebastianemond5313]

Another anthology I feel gets the shaft is John Carpenter's, Body Bags. Sure, it looks like Showtime's attempt to copy Tales from the Crypt, but I liked John Carpenter's The Coroner as the host of the unmade show. Plus, the segments, like *Hair* or *Eye,* were amazing. Good thing John Carpenter got his second chance with Masters of Horror.

[@SJ_RANKS]

King sued to get his name off of lawnmower man I could be wrong but I think that was the only time he wanted his name off an adaption

[@van8ryan]

For Fair Reason: the movie itself is NOTHING like the story (they literally tossed in one scene from the book to put King's name on it)

[@sebastianemond5313]

​@@van8ryan Kinda like how the Weinsteins slapped Wes Craven's name above Dracula 2000 to make it successful. I mean, how was Gerard Butler supposed to carry that crappy movie on his own?

[@alexwashere1601]

Doctor Sleep is a very underrated Stephen King adaptation and a worthy sequel to not only Stanley Kubrick's version of The Shining but also Stephen King's vision of the book.

[@kensstudio0806]

He made a review for The Mist you guys need to watch it

[@yasser3268]

You should react to Nostalgia Critic’s Top 11 Scariest Performances in Movies

[@nickdorenkamp959]

Fun fact: before they worked on New Nightmare, Heather Langencamp already knew Miko Hughes (the kid who played Gage in Pet Sematary) when she was visiting her boyfriend/soon to be husband David LeRoy Anderson who was the special effects makeup artist on the film. When Heather found out that Miko was going to be playing her son in New Nightmare, on like the first day of shooting New Nightmare she said hi miko. How do I know? I think it was either mentioned in the Never Sleep again: Nightmare on Elm Street doc or the Unearthed and Untold: The path to pet sematary doc.

Critic also did a review of another good Stephen King adaptation The Stand.

[@NashTheBlade]

23:02 In all actuality, the Silent Hill franchise is really just one big homage to the works of Stephen King(and David Lynch)...1408, the short story, came out before Silent Hill 4...IN fact you can see MANY Stephen King tropes in Silent Hill...Alessa Gillespie being the psychic child trope...Plenty of Alcoholic characters...Shapeshifters and the supernatural...The bad guys are a religious cult..It all takes place in a small rural town...Multiple Flashbacks...I honestly think you can play the Stephen King Drinking Game with any of the Silent Hill games...No joke BT Dubbs...DOUG HATES THE MIST!....No Joke, there is a review of it, and yes he does think it's one of the weaker Stephen King movies

Hell, Silent Hill 1 has a Bachman Road. Bachman as in King's Pen Name Richard Bachman.

[@ultimatetybreaker3467]

I think Doug has done a review of the Mist, so if you want to see his full thoughts on it, you should do a reaction video on it. 😄

[@Enter_the_Toshiverse_1996]

It's October, so you guys should react to Nostalgia Critic's Shining Miniseries review, it's pretty funny 😂

[@drakeware655]

Nostalgia Critic recently reviewed the Mist, if you wanna check out his opinion on it and why it's not on this list

[@kiradegrey]

Oh boy. Someone has to see nostalgia critic’s review of The Mist and everyone here is *not* gonna be happy about his opinion on that film

[@wolvepotter5858]

I think Doug said that he didn’t like The Mist. Something I entirely disagree with but I can see why he left it off the list

[@vamphunterdlover]

Here is a Stephen king adaptation for you guys to watch for movie night this October, that is my number 2 favorite Stephen king film, NIGHT FLYER. I have read the short story it is from and it is true to its source but also takes it one step further in the film. Hell, it had a sequel planned that king we looking forward to, but it got canned.

[@tylerhackner9731]

Love your nostalgia critic reactions

[@georgehernandez9767]

I was predicting that Creepshow was going to be the top one after he showed his honorable mentions (having never seen this Top 11 list before) and I was right!

[@normaljim]

You guys should 100% check out his review of the mist. It would be quite the watch

[@GamerLegend.97]

i love the 2017 IT movie but for some odd reason I couldn't find myself to see 1990 tim Curry Version it scared the crap out of me

[@ARCtheCartoonMaster]

16:34 Am I the only one who gets annoyed when Americans can't pronounce Skarsgård? Like... the A with a ring above makes a... well, here in Australia, we'd spell the sound it makes as "aw", but to Americans it's more "oh", if that makes sense.

[@MonikaMarieG]

When i first watched The Shining my stepdad was doing some work on his fish tank and then i got to that scene with the full frontal lady and in my head I was like "Please don't turn around, please don't turn around, please don't turn around." and thankfully he didn't until well after the scene was done.

[@Adrianne519]

Because it did, lol

[@timothymorris157]

Frankly i didn’t get into any of the film adaptations of Stephen King’s stories and novels until about 10 years ago when i finally watched The Shining, The Mist, The Dead Zone, Stand By Me, The Green Mile, Shawshank Redemption, Carrie, Pet Semetary, and IT the 1990 mini series from Tommy Lee Wallace. From that point on i became a fan of Stephen King in general through the good and the bad within the last 30 plus years of Klassic King films. Sleepwalkers will always be a guilty pleasure of mine as well as Maximum Overdrive regardless of how cheesy or over the top they are.

[@aokhoinguyenang3992]

Doug already made a negative review about Mist. There is no way he would include it in the good list

[@klimmr]

47:32 The best scene in Ready Player One is The Shining scene. I can't even explain why, it just needs to be seen to be believed.

[@SnakeArtists]

funny that doug haven't notice that there's a 2002 remake of carrie which i only seen it once and idk if it was good or not i only know the ending went

[@axelnilsson5124]

It’s better than the 2013 movie at least

[@invadermarkb]

Pet Sematary and The Shining are the two films that always make me feel uncomfortable and uneasy, but IT though is why I'm afraid of clowns

[@JOSH-lw2jv]

Bill Skarsgård is now going to play Count Orlok in a second remake of *"Nosferatu",* the unauthorized but classic 1922 silent film adaptation of Bram Stoker's *"Dracula",* with Johnny Depp's daughter Lily-Rose as Ellen Hutter and is co-produced by father & daughter duo; Chris & Eleanor Columbus.

[@jakemetzgar]

The Mist is not nearly as good as y’all say it is

[@BroNovaGaming]

I'll be honest... I didn't care for The Mist either 😅 The monsters made me chuckle more than scream and outside of that I found it kinda boring.

[@Shadow-et9uo]

Am just for some reason not able to understand it properly on what the film was about can you help understand it

[@nathanspradlin8570]

I'd recommend NC's review of The Truman Show. It's great in my opinion

[@klimmr]

If you want to know why Nostalgia Critic didn't put The Mist on the list, I recommend you check out his review of that film next.

[@robertmcghintheorca49]

I will say, there is an amazing story about "Carrie" that I can tell on behalf of Stephen King himself. So while "Carrie" was nowhere near the first film to use jumpscares, it was one of the first, if not the first to use the final jumpscare trick, and Stephen King himself not only jumped when he saw it for the first time, but at a screening in Boston where the entire audience was black aside from King and his wife, these two rather large guys screamed like little kids when that jumpscare happened.

[@matthewpaul6904]

Remember the Critic episode that parodied "Misery" where an obsessed fan kidnapped Jay? "Buy my book!" "Buy my book!" "Buy my book!"

[@futuremovieactor]

This review for the record came out in October of 2018 by the way. It: Chapter Two wouldn't be out for about a year after that.

[@AnimaniacNZ]

Stand By Me was the movie I studied for English class back in school.

[@Shadow-et9uo]

Was it worth working or something

[@Catherinewelter-z6d]

Also love Kathy Bates In Miser even with some of the changes they made. Basically movie Annie was bat **** crazy book Annie was beyond bat **** crazy. And apparently Bates wanted to go that far but couldn't.

[@bigbobby3670]

He actually did a review of The Mist last Nostalgiaween and, spoilers, he is not a big fan of it to put it lightly.

[@zillafilmsstudios854]

I really want nostalgia critic to review this is the end where Hollywood actors face against the biblical judgment day.

[@NefariousDreary]

In a horror film that doesn't require an "R" rating, 1408 is a prime example of the pure talent. Great writing, directing, acting and very well executed psychological horror

[@paullyman5366]

Cats eye is an anthology movie about a cat being connected to the different stories being told throughout the movie but it ultimately ends with the cat coming to save a little girl from an evil troll.

Honestly the transitions last like 3 seconds. They're barely a big a deal. Also to note I don't think Doug has a high opinion of the Mist.

[@Adrianne519]

Thank you. I'm sorry but it's quite annoying how much they complain about it, it's called having patients and having anticipation for the the next one on the list. Plus when he skips it he ends up having to go back and correct it so by the time he does that they could have just watched it by then. It's honestly more of a waste of time.

[@son_of_nemesis8957]

1408 came out when i was a kid and my dad made me watch it. It only messed me up because we lived in apartment 1408 at the time. (Technically 1308 cause our building at the time did the whole skip the 13th floor). freaked me out as a kid

[@abelmantor7557]

God, i love the Shawshank redemption.

[@blissfulbabybatter]

What if the mist is about lovecraftian being manipulating the military into building a bridge into their realm, mean while it's making the military personal believe its a new type of weapon.

[@Jimenopolix]

Nostalgia Critic had recently done a review of "The Mist". Might wanna check it out.

[@umbrella3235]

26:55 So... not so fun fact: The 2013 version was supposed to be a closer readaptation of the book instead of a remake, but the studio got cold feet and butchered the film towards the end of production.

[@Cynim]

I really cannot say (in my opinion) that The Mist is a good movie. It has its moments, and the ideas and ending are pretty great. But the execution, the effects(!!) and the characters overall were botched, which ruined my experience. There's a lot to like, but these elements took me out of the movie. And with Doug's review of that movie he did last year, I'm very much in agreement with him. I'd love to see you three react to his review of The Mist, actually! Beacuse I'm sure there would be a lot of interesting discussions around this, no joke!

[@allidoiscomment7141]

He actually reviewed “The Mist” a while back. He was… Not kind to it.

I'm still waiting for someone to try an adaptation for The Long Walk. I just keep hearing rumors about it

Doug hated The Mist. He made a whole review on it a few months ago. Really sad, cause I love The Mist.

[@jaredohlstein7355]

I agree with Nick that IT Part 2 was not as good as Part 1, in my opinion it was all over the place

[@Zodia195]

MY LITTLE PONY: FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC had 2 references to the shinning, a KID'S SHOW that was rated Y had 2 references a horror movie lol. One was the twins and the other was the little boy and 'blood' (or in this case smooze) gushing out of a door in that scene. It's not the only horror reference too lol. There was a 28 Days reference in another episode lol and that was 'horror-related' too lol. I will say this as I've said about EVERY countdown ever- everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Doug's fav Disney movie is still Fantasia. I can't think of any other Disney fan who would put that at #1. If Doug likes Creepshow the most, then that's fine. I personally don't like Stephan King movies. Only movie I've seen was Carrie, and I didn't like it because it's triggering for me personally. Only Steven King adaptation I did enjoy was a mini-series and it's Rose Red.

[@Wolf_Dominic]

I know I’m not the first to say this, but you should definitely check out his The Mist review.

[@circusoftheastounding4361]

Not enough love for Storm of the Century and Rose Red.

[@Adrianne519]

I totally get why Doug put Creep Show as #1 and it was such a nice change and so refreshing, I have never seen it but now I want to, it seems like the perfect movie to watch in October. Sorry but I can't stand The Mist! The effects are horrible, it's not scary, the cinematography isn't even that great and most of the characters are WAY to obnoxious to the point where I can't even watch the film anymore and you hardly even get to know them beforehand so you really don't even care about them. And I know you praise it all the time but I hate the ending, it was the final nail in the coffin for me. It just made them look so stupid, they weren't even outside for 5 minutes before coming to that decision.

[@PhantomShadow224]

I think NC reviewed the mist later on

[@MoostachedSaiyanPrince]

I honestly don't think The Mist is a particularly great movie. It has an AMAZING ending that's just plain brutal, but outside of that, there's not much going for it IMO. I've seen it multiple times, but literally the only thing I can ever remember about it is the ending. My personal favorite Stephen King movie is Christine though. I couldn't even tell you why for certain. Maybe it's the soundtrack, or just a few of the scenes really sticking out in my memory. Overall, I think I just enjoy it more than any of his other adaptations.

[@SuperMandibleclaw]

Doug doesn't like the mist

[@dr.killson7355]

As much as people hate on it I like the league of extraordinary gentlemen movie because I read the comic and considering how some of the characters act and what they do (especially Mr Hyde) I prefer the movie far better also if you read the sequels to league of extraordinary gentleman it starts sounding like the writings of a mad man
