Movie Review: ‘Doctor Sleep’ Starring: Ewan McGregor, Rebecca Ferguson
Films based off Stephen King books seem to be can’t miss lately. From the release of ‘IT’ and onto the second part of the film, King has been on a roll over the last few years. ‘Doctor Sleep’ is the newest adaptation of a King novel and surely not the last, as the master of […]
Movie Review: ‘Pet Sematary’ Remake is Creepy Good Time
Sometimes dead is better. And, sometimes remakes actually are too. Pet Sematary remains one of Stephen King’s most troubling novels. It’s so scary and devastating because it deals with a subject that most of us are uncomfortable with, death. King’s 1983 novel troubled him so much that he almost tossed it after writing it in […]

Review: “IT” Starring: Bill Skarsgard, Jaeden Lieberher
When word spread that Stephen King’s classic tale,”It,” was being remade, many wondered if Pennywise the Clown would be as memorable as Tim Curry’s Pennywise was in the made-for-TV movie.

Will Christian Bale Be The Gunslinger In Stephen King’s “The Dark Tower”?
First off let me say that I love Christian Bale. The man has turned in outstanding performances for years, and I’m completely stoked for him to receive his first Oscar statue. Also, he plays Batman which is easily my favorite superhero franchise. Double bonus. So I am okay with him playing any part he wants […]
SyFy adapting Stephen King’s thriller ‘Haven’
I’m still getting used to typing a name as stupid as SyFy. I didn’t think when you had such a literal name that it would be that hard for people for forget how to spell it. I’d like to know how well this gimmick worked out for them. As far as I can recall I […]

Mandalay Pictures options Joe Hill’s ‘Horns’
This really doesn’t sound like a big deal (and it may not be), but when you are the son of famous author Stephen King, the media kind of steps up and notices. I think it says something really good about Joe Hill (born Joseph Hillstrom King) that he didn’t immediately ride his father’s famous coat […]
