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.,

With all the bad reviews and the low rating, I wasn't expecting too much going into this one - not to mention with a title like YOU CAN'T KILL STEPHEN KING, it seemed it never had a chance. BUT, I have to say I was pleasantly surprised and found it quite entertaining.
I guess it helps being a huge Stephen King fan. So, if you're a fan of the man, Stephen King, then I recommend you ignore the low rating and bad reviews. It's much better than they would have you believe. It has a nice setting, a good mix of horror and comedy, above par acting and a story that strays from the usual run-of-the-mill slasher flick. Check it out!
A solid 7 out of 10 in my book.

This is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. It was boring, and stuff like that. Sure there were some characters from his books, but playing the sound that you hear when Jason Voorhee's shows up It was there that i shut off the movie. I was like, Ok, none of Stehpen Kings books or movies had anything to do with the Friday The 13th movies.
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!
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
