Christopher Walken's Johnny from The Dead Zone, John Cusack's Mike from 1408 and Miguel Ferrer's Richard from The Night Flier
With three of his own under his belt and multiple more in the works, Mike Flanagan shares his thoughts on the four most underrated Stephen King screen adaptations of all time. King is one of the most celebrated horror authors of all-time, and also one of the most adapted-to-screen, nearing 100 projects across both the big and small screens.
You know what jumped immediately to my mind? The Night Flier with Miguel Ferrer is a really good movie that I don't think gets the appreciation that it deserves. I mean, I think with the books, it's easier to point at ones where it's like, “Oh, that book doesn't get the love.” Like, I always wonder where the swell of love is for Revival, which is one of my favorites of his books, or Hearts in Atlantis, which I think is just an incredible, incredible piece of work.

Oh, you know what else I'd put up on there? It's hard to find, but the limited series Storm of the Century is so good, and not nearly enough people have appreciated it and seen it, and I find myself evangelizing about it all the time. And then you can't find it anywhere. It's like impossible to track down, but Storm of the Century is, I think, my favorite of the miniseries.
