This movie in no way shape or form has ANYTHING to do with actual horror or a Stephen King book/movie! Reviewing it negatively because you do not understand that is unfair. It's a goofy, campy, supposed to be lame movie. Do people really not understand that? Ugh. It was a good movie for what it was supposed to be. Not liking it because you thought it was an actual Stephen King film is your own fault. Heres a hint to help in the future. If Stephen King does not have a book called You can't kill Stephen King then its probably not his movie/book!
This movie seemed promising but it is just stupid, awful acting and an awful script and awful movie production but not in the fun, funny way you would want in a movie like this. Too bad, it could have been great with a fun premise like this.
O.K.the acting leaves something to be desired but what do you expect from a B-grade? I have paid to see worse movies that claimed to be A-grade.
I was pleasantly surprised to find it was not only Stephen King's famous stories getting the nod, but some of his lesser known stories as well.
If you are looking for a serious horror, do not watch this. If you are looking for an A-grade spoof along the lines of the Scary Movie franchise, again do not watch this.
If you are a King fan with a dark and slightly odd sense of humour as many of his fans do, this is right up your alley. How many stories can you find inside the story? I bet this was fun to make.,

Pretty sure quite a lot of you will. By either ignoring it completely or just refusing to watch it or maybe even writing bad reviews after watching it. While it's obvious that the filmmakers try to make a fun movie within the slasher genre, they are not the first (nor the last to do so), but unfortunately fail.
The actors try their best (I guess), but the story and the coincidences pile up and nothing really fits. The jokes are mostly fail (not even miss), which is also not contributing to any enjoyment. You might give it an extra point for trying and because you like independent movies very much, but if you are fair, you have to admit, that it doesn't really reach any standard (low budget and all included into the judgment). On the other hand, there might be a few who actually enjoy this. Good for them

You Can't Kill Stephen King is a curiously titled comedy horror with the general slasher sub genre and it's actually not bad.
It tells the story of a group of friends who travel to Maine but as per the genre get picked off one by one by a mysterious assailant.
Its independent yet it looks great. It's independent yet the soundtrack is excellent. It's independent yet the unknown cast are fantastic. It's independent yet the writing is above par.
It breaks all the usual movie stereotypes and conventions and left me fairly impressed. To be clear it has its fair share of flaws hence the not overwhelming rating but for what it is this is a passable little affair that demonstrates how talented those involved are.
It's silly, it has a very limited spectrum but there is fun to be had here.
The Good:
Great soundtrack
Very above par cast
The Bad:
Ultimately flawed
Doesn't really flow
Things I Learnt From This Movie:
Maine is so white there aren't even black bears
