Frank Darabont is an American director best known for adapting Stephen King novels into acclaimed dramas, particularly The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile. I have reviewed 3 of his films on the site so far.
Rating: 3.5★
Stephen King's relationship with cinema is a long and uneven one. For every faithful adaptation that captures the specific flavour of dread he does so well on the page, there are several that miss the point entirely, reducing his work to either slick gore or toothless television fare.
Genre Fantasy
★★★★ — The Green Mile (1999)
Genre Drama
★★★★ — The Shawshank Redemption (1994)
