Does anyone consider
themselves a fan of Stephen King adaptations in the way they might the author himself? The field is so sprawling, and so variable in quality. Still, if you’re scowling at the impudence of the question, this documentary should keep you entertained. It features an impressive line-up of directors (27 in all), including the likes of Tom Holland (Thinner, The Langoliers), Lewis Teague (Cujo, Cat’s Eye) and Greg Nicotero (Creepshow). Mike Flanagan (Gerard’s Game, Doctor Sleep) has insightful observations about how King’s writing operates, Frank Darabont (The Shawshank Redemption, The Green Mile, The Mist) a treasure trove of production anecdotes.
