Misery

So after a lot of years of watching horror movies and loving horror movie adaptations of Stephen king books, i realised i had never watched Misery, after watching it i realised i should have took the time to watch it many years ago.

The story is about a writer who having finished a book decides to return home, but on his return he has a accident and is rescued by his number one fan after that things take a dark twist while he is trying to recover from the accident, the story in this film is brilliant and gripping, you are always on edge of your seat wanting the main character to succeed its very believable which makes you fully emerged in the film.

The acting in this is brilliant and makes this film stand out, James Caan and Kathy bates are so believable, you genuinely hate but want to understand Kathy Bates's character and you are constantly behind James Caans character wanting him to succeed.

A great movies for horror and Thriller fans, Worth a watch to anyone who's interested in either genre.

This movie is truly one of the greatest horror movies out there. Simply because its so streightforward and kathy bates performance in it was truly incredible. The story follows a writer who is driving home (james caan) in a blizard and his car is overturned in the snow and he is taken into care by his number one fan as she says (kathy bates) but she is abit more sinister than she first appears. I enjoyed this so much have seen it a few times. James caan was good but kathy bates really gets my vote fantastic horror

I have watched the Indian version of this movie. In that time, I don't have any idea, it was remake of this splendid movie. But, thank God! I have came across this. This is mindblowing, it could be a perfect example of mystery thriller.

Misery is really a little masterpiece of drama and thriller.This story is simple: writer Pul Sheldon has a car accident and is helped by Annie Wilkes.This stay turns slowly into a kidnapping. The performances of Kathy Bates and James Caan are excellent. But we must also thank Rob Reiner for this very good dark story.

Misery has to be the best adaptation of a Stephen King novel. A close runner up is Stand By Me, but for suspense and tension that just gets tighter and tighter, watch Misery. Kathy Bates can go from nice and cheerful to downright crazy like someone turning on a light switch. While watching James Caan suffer through the torture that Bates puts him through, you can't help but sympathize with the guy. Rob Reiner presents us with the problem, and he slowly escalates the tension and the dread that creeps over the movie. Even though the book was different in the "hobbling" process, Annie Wilkes' method of hobbling still gives me the chills whenever I watch it.
