The Shining, 1408, and Misery are all among the very best Stephen King horror movies that will terrify you from start to finish.
Stephen King is the godfather of modern horror, with countless bangers to his name. Not every adaptation of his work succeeds, but the best of them capture (or, indeed, amplify) the terror of the books. This list ranks the very best of them, from the gritty realism of Cujo to the emotional sweep of It. The titles below are all works of sustained dread, operating in different styles and tones but all getting under the viewer's skin. The strongest of them are bona fide horror classics.
