Here is a list of the best movies based off books, voted on by cine-bibliophiles everywhere. Many movies are based off of books but whenever a new <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/movie-endings-better-than-the-book/elle-tharp" target="_blank">movie based on a book</a> comes out there is an endless amount of whining about how Hollywood isn&#39;t original and why can&#39;t they write their own stories? That&#39;s simple, it&#39;s because these amazing stories are already written and Hollywood has the means to bring them to life, and sometimes they do it better than even your imagination thought possible&nbsp; (then again, sometimes they simply <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/books-that-deserve-better-movie-adaptations/charley-ruddell" target="_blank">can&#39;t do the original book justice</a> or were <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/tv-shows-adapted-from-both-movies-books/ranker-tv" target="_blank">later also adapted into TV shows</a> to continue the story or do it better). It&#39;s no surprise that popular movies are often inspired by classic literatures and <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/movies-inspired-by-paintings/megan-summers" target="_blank">works of art</a>, but which one is the best?

This list looks at the films based on the books - novels, literature, or nonfiction - that made you want to reread the book, started endless <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/movies-that-changed-the-ending-of-the-book/tracey-graham" target="_blank">&quot;which was better the movie or the book&quot;</a> debates, made you squeal with delight that you pictured it that way in your head, and just blew your frickin&#39;&nbsp;mind.

Is there anything worse than Hollywood remaking a classic and not even coming close... copying a film for no reason... Americanizing a British movie made a couple years before and not doing as good a job... Not having actors with as much style or talent as in the original... Totally screwing up everything...&nbsp;This list is far more than just the top 10 worst movie remakes. You&#39;ll find all manner of horrible movie remakes among the films below.

<a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-horror-movie-remakes/ranker-horror?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Horror movie remakes</a> are as old as cinema itself, and they&#39;re not always a bad thing. After all, John Carpenter&#39;s The Thing - considered by fans as one of the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/scariest-horror-movies-ever-made" target="_blank">scariest horror films</a> of all time - was an update of the 1951&nbsp;Howard Hawks film The Thing From Another World. Certain movies lend themselves retellings with&nbsp;fresh perspectives, as was the case with The Thing, as well as The Fly (the 1986 David Cronenberg remake of the 1958 original), Invasion Of The Body Snatchers (the 1978 remake of the 1956 original), and even Night Of The Living Dead (Tom Savini&#39;s 1990 version is a surprisingly solid update of the 1968 George Romero original).

But then there are the horror reboots that, for all intents and purposes, never needed to be made. Occasionally the results are better than expected - Rob Zombie&#39;s Halloween ranks favorably among specific sects of the horror community - but regardless of the film&#39;s merits, most horror fans can agree there simply wasn&#39;t a need to remake the&nbsp;classic movie in question. And while some of the following unnecessary horror remakes are&nbsp;decent films, others rank among the <a href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-worst-movies-of-all-time" target="_blank">worst movies ever made</a>.&nbsp;

Horror Movies About Everything

Parenting can be scary. Talk to anyone with children and they&#39;ll tell you that the fear of messing up their kids is a prime concern. The best scary movies about parenting do nothing to placate those worries. Horror films have been mining this subject for decades. It&#39;s easy to see why. Tapping into something pretty much all parents feel is a great way to get audiences nice and creeped out.&nbsp;

Many horror <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/most-inspirational-movie-mothers/jocelynicoleo?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">movies about moms</a> and dads have their protagonists protecting children from some form of harm. Who could forget The Exorcist, in which frightened mother Ellen Burstyn&nbsp;asks a priest to remove the demon that has overtaken her daughter? Others are more about a parent struggling with their own feelings regarding&nbsp;their child. The Babadook, for instance, features a mom who blames her son for the untimely passing of her husband, and therefore struggles with ambivalent emotions. And then there are the pictures in which a parent tries to comprehend the eerie&nbsp;or troubling behavior of their offspring. Goodnight Mommy is about as powerful an example of that as you&#39;ll find.&nbsp;

The following list contains all three types. Some of the films have the parenting angle front and center, while in others, it&#39;s one&nbsp;key component in a larger story. Which of them gives you the most severe chills? Which keep you up at night when you think about their themes? Vote up&nbsp;your <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/what-your-favorite-horror-movie-says-about-you/jacob-shelton?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">favorite horror movies</a> about parenting.

It&#39;s always a bummer when a highly anticipated movie turns out to be less than impressive&nbsp;and some of the most disappointing films of 2019 left audiences feeling cheated. There are a variety of reasons a movie may disappoint.

The greatest small town horror movies offer something special for people who like&nbsp;to be scared. In these settings, there are fewer places for characters to hide from whatever evil is lurking.

The peril for the characters seems all that&nbsp;more real. The scariest <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-small-town-movies/ranker-film" target="_blank">movies about small towns</a> include classics such as The Amityville Horror and Halloween, but there are many others.

The Best, Most Exciting Movie Trailers of 2019, Ranked

Stephen King has created a horror canon that preys on childhood fears and explores the more unsettling realities of adulthood. His chilling stories are <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/stephen-king-movie-adaptation-quotes/michelle-nati" target="_blank">a perfect fit for the screen</a>, but more often than not, his endings don&#39;t really work in a live-action setting and they&#39;re&nbsp;changed on their way to the theaters. In some instances, the new Stephen King endings aren&#39;t intrusive, but there are a few filmmakers who throw out the original endings altogether to make their own thing.&nbsp;

As one of the most successful authors alive, it&#39;s not a surprise that King has some issues with people changing his work. When it comes to his most personal stories, be it tales of&nbsp;a haunted hotel or four friends on the search for a body, he can get emotional about the adaptations. In some cases, he&#39;s just happy to see his work handled with respect.&nbsp;

It&#39;s rare that King talks about adaptations to his work. He&#39;s a nice guy and unless he&#39;s popping off about Stanley Kubrick, he tends to keep his negative comments to himself. That being said, in the last few years he&#39;s been much more open about filmmakers who alter the endings to his stories.

Even reading the book makes you yearn for some human companionship.&nbsp;

The 2019 adaptation of&nbsp;Pet Sematary, which received a launch date of April 5, 2019, is likely to be one of the scariest films of the year. In fact, the legendary author Stephen King actually&nbsp;<a href="http://twitter.com/stephenking/status/1093558611245256709?lang=en" target="_blank">warned viewers</a>&nbsp;about the film&#39;s fright-inducing potential.

We&rsquo;re ranking the worst Game of Thrones characters to bring back from the dead.

In the Stephen King novel&nbsp;Pet Sematary&nbsp;- the cinematic adaption of which&nbsp;releases on April 5,&nbsp;2019&nbsp;- an unlucky family finds a mysterious burial ground on their property. And they set off a catastrophic chain reaction that unleashes an unfathomable evil. Things buried in that cemetery don&#39;t come back the same; they&nbsp;transform&nbsp;into barely recognizable, vengeful beings.

Almost every person in Game of Thrones&nbsp;harbors&nbsp;a deep-seated need for revenge, but which dead&nbsp;GoT&nbsp;characters would&nbsp;come&nbsp;back worse&nbsp;if they were&nbsp;put in the&nbsp;Pet Sematary? Who&nbsp;would&nbsp;wreak the most havoc in Westeros if they were reanimated?&nbsp;

Upvote the&nbsp;Game of Thrones characters you want to see buried in the cursed ground, and downvote the ones you think deserve to rest in peace.

10 Fan Theories And Predictions For 'Pet Sematary'

Stephen King Works

The 2019&nbsp;Pet Sematary adaptation, which has an April 5, 2019 release date, relies more on mental and visual horror than the jump scares that shocked viewers who watched&nbsp;the 1989&nbsp;cinematic version of the Stephen King&nbsp;novel and the documentary&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/unearthed-and-untold-pet-sematary-revelations/jacob-shelton" target="_blank">Unearthed &amp; Untold: The Path to Pet Sematary</a>. The <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/violent-stephen-king-scenes-cut-from-movies/christopher-shultz" target="_blank">more horrifying moments</a> in&nbsp;Pet Sematary&nbsp;invite you to question your own moral objectives. Would you bring your child back from the dead if it meant you&#39;d have more time with them? What if they came back&nbsp;possessed by an unknown evil?

Louis Creed chooses to bring back his daughter, Ellie, and in doing so, he damns his friend and&nbsp;his entire family. Louis&#39;s decision shows how selfish and blind love can be, and that isn&#39;t&nbsp;the only <a href="http://www.ranker.com/list/violence-in-stephen-king-books/jacobybancroft" target="_blank">emotionally challenging scene</a> in the movie. The characters make questionable choices, children suffer grim&nbsp;fates, and one especially unlucky soul suffers from an exceptionally bad head injury.&nbsp;

Horrifying moments like these&nbsp;are likely to make this iteration of Pet Sematary&nbsp;stand out in your memory forever.

Stephen King&rsquo;s 1983 novel Pet Sematary is full of horrific creatures and unsettling stories. As eerie as this story of reanimated&nbsp;pets and humans is, though, some parts of the tale are based in truth. In fact, while King wrote the novel, he and his family lived in a <a href="https://www.stephenking.com/library/novel/pet_sematary_inspiration.html" target="_blank">rented Maine home</a> near a very busy highway and a local pet cemetery.

All The Real Lore That Made Its Way Into 'Pet Sematary'

Real Lore And Stories That Appear In Pet Sematary

Film adaptations of beloved books are always put under a microscope. Fans of the book are always quick to throw out that the film could never possibly be as good. Stephen King fans,&nbsp;in particular, have been put through the wringer when it comes to adaptations over the years. While some have a fun &#39;90s nostalgia vibe to them, a lot of the film versions of King&#39;s most popular novels can be hard to watch. Overall, the 1989 adaptation of Pet Sematary&nbsp;falls in the beloved category, which is why when another adaptation was announced fans were leery.

Every adaptation has to cut or change things from the book it&#39;s adapting, and the 2019 Pet Sematary is no different. It also has to compete with people&#39;s love of the original adaptation. In order to keep things fresh, there were quite a few alterations this time around.
