Morgan Freeman as Red in The Shawshank Redemption and Kathy Bates as Annie in Misery.
Stephen King believes the best performance out of his screen adaptations comes from an underrated 1980s chiller. The 1980s were a prolific period for Stephen King book adaptations. It felt like every major filmmaker - from Stanley Kubrick to John Carpenter and Rob Reiner - had to helm at least one film based on his work. Even King got in on the action with 1986's Maximum Overdrive, though sadly, that might be the worst Stephen King movie of the bunch.
9 ✕ Remove Ads Stephen King Believes Dee Wallace's Cujo Performance Is The Best Of His Movie Adaptations Wallace's turn in Cujo is hard to forget In 2011, TCM aired the documentary A Night at the Movies: The Horrors of Stephen King, where the author took viewers on a guided journey through the genre. He touched on adaptations of his work too, including reiterating his distaste for Kubrick's The Shining.
King's praise for Wallace's work is well-founded. Donna is a flawed character and dealing with the fallout of her husband learning of her extramarital affair just prior to her encounter with Cujo. She commits completely to the harrowing fight Donna undertakes, with the third act being particularly grueling. For some reason, Wallace's incredible work doesn't get cited as often as it should, but it truly is one of the most unforgettable turns in the King canon.
While she doesn't get cited alongside the likes of Jamie Lee Curtis or Sigourney Weaver, genre fans consider Dee Wallace as horror royalty.
