I think it's both. The movies aren't being made by good directors, and the stories themselves are a little silly and/or predictable.

Yeh, I'd agree with you there dude. His earlier work is a lot better than the shit he churns out these days. He hasn't got guys like Carpenter, De Palma or Romero directing/adapting his work.
The Mist was great but its been a long time since a SK adaption has kick my ass.
A lot of it comes down to aesthetics too. The majority of the later adaptions have been made for TV.
I still watch and enjoy most of 'em anyways and I'd rather watch an adaption of his later stuff than reading his books.
