IT the monster is creepy as fuck and memorable as whose nightmares are not getting touched by a clown in a drain and then it’s just a big spider. Oh I’ll just ring a pest controller.

What a let down.. Have you seen the one with Tim Curry as Pennywise?Scary as hell but the end is..well..shit..

ps..a number of endings of Stephen King’s books have not adapted well to screen.

I forgot to add The Shining.. a lot different to King’s book, but Kubrick’s adaptation is so unsettling and fkn scary.. Apparently Kubrick got the actors to do so many takes until he got the one he wanted. Jack Nicholson, who played the main protagonist, Jack Torrance seemingly thrived under it, but Shelley Duval, who played his onscreen wife Wendy Torrance, struggled..but it actually worked for her character.

King was not impressed with the adaptation, and they actually made a telemovie closer to the novel..but what was scary in the novel was not scary on screen, especially the topiary animals.

Just a note King wrote a sequel, Dr. Sleep* a few years back. It was great, and the movie, made from the book, starring Ewen McGregor brought both King’s sequel book and Kubrick’s film expertly together..

I highly recommend both films (and both books)

*As I wrote this, an ad on tv came on about the benefits of sleeping!!

The Talented Mr Ripley is A-Grade Garbage!

The poop eating, eye-gouging and other un-sportsman like conduct went way, way too far. No wonder it was banned in so many places, for so many years.

I'm a big shining fan and agree about kings TV adaptation, I found it to be overly long, comically unscary and incredibly cheap, hence why it was made for TV. Kubrick version was much better visually but deviated for the book quite dramatically and it worked it it's own right. I really liked Dr sleep the book but thought that they ruined the movie by changing the main character of Abra, along with a few other shifts that killed the tone

As fucked up as it is and hard to get through it's actually a pretty powerful movie imo.
Fun fact, the director was murdered/ assassinated three weeks before it's premier

I was very, very close to walking out of the cinema, but managed to stick it out.

The relationship between Dan and Abra? And she doesn’t do as much…

I really liked Ewan McGregor as Danny and I read the book around the time the movie was announced so I knew he was playing the role so I could visualise the character, he was spot on imo. I really disliked, not to sound racist or anything the fact that they changed Abra and her family from being Italian to being black, and cutting the grandmother character out of the movie along with her parents who were quite prominent in the novel to be reduced to cut away characters really just killed it as there was absolutely no reason for that woke change along with certain parts of the book that didn't make the grade for film. The only change that made real sense in my mind was the climax at the overlook

Fair enough.. I did think the Dick Holloran character was well handled..

Would have set the tone early if say someone like Christopher plummer was cast as dick

Clerks III almost makes the list.

Fucking depressing and very unfunny

I didn't really like the 2nd one (a few funny lines here and there, but that was about it), and honestly, I don't even remember if I've seen the 3rd one. I'm a little bit over Kevin Smith these days.

Don’t ask me how I came across this or why I was willing to invest 90min but file this in the ‘so bad you kinda have to watch to the end’ category :

“Unsportsmanlike like conduct” haha

The happening with Marky mark where he talks to plants. Pretty much anything directed by m might Shyamalan that isn't the sixth sense, unbreakable, split or glass. Paradise lost with John Travolta and Bruce Willis, two graves in the middle of the dessert with William Baldwin and Michael Madsen. The day the earth stood still remake. Zoolander 2 which as a huge fan of the first one was utterly disgusted by that blantant cash grab. Between worlds with nic cage along with rage and a few other titles of his that elude me.

I could go on and on but this post is long enough already

Ohhhhh The Happening is in my top 10 for sure.
You left out Double Team.
Very harsh to think that a movie with William Baldwin could be bad???
Bieber dying in 2lander keeps it off my list (although I don't remember if I got through it all)

I must be incredibly lucky, I've never watched a really bad movie. Mind you, I've watched the first five or ten minutes of several truly disgraceful movies on TV. I rarely visit the cinema these days, and, if I had parted with my hard-earned to watch a movie, I might be more inclined to stick it out in the hope it got better.

I walked out of a movie (in a manner of speaking) many years ago. I wandered into a small arty-farty type cinema in London's Soho with a couple of friends, and the movie (an avant-garde western called El Topo - check it out, it has to be the worst movie ever made!) was so awful that we couldn't resist supplying our own commentary. The place was fairly full of pseudo-intellectual types watching in a reverent silence, and, after about half an hour, we were asked to leave. Back then in England, if you were tossed out of a cinema or football match, it was customary to give you your money back (it might have been the law - I dunno), and so it was a happy ending, even if not the kind you usually got in those places.
