Perihal filem ini

When romance novelist Paul Sheldon (James Caan) is rescued from a horrific car accident by reclusive loner Annie Wilkes (Kathy Bates, in her Academy Award® winning role), he finds out she’s his “number one fan” and has read all of his books. But when an enraged Annie discovers that Paul kills off her favorite character (Misery Chastain) in his latest book, she decides to hold him captive and “bring her back to life” in a new novel. A terrifying psychological game ensues as Annie steps further and further back from the brink of reality, while Paul tries desperately to find a way out - before his deadline is up. Based on the chilling bestseller by Stephen King, Misery is “one of the best horror movies ever made.” (Time Magazine)

this movie is great! its really twisted, and interesting. it isnt exactly the same as the book, but im not sure i would've wanted to see pauls foot and thumb be cut off, or see a man get a lawn mower shoved over his head and arm anyways, so im not mad its different.

"one of the best horror movies ever made" is well deserved. James caan and Lauren bacall are great but kathy bates (one of my personal favorite actresses!) is amazingly terrifying and the oscar was well deserved. Just like the shawshank redemption and the green mile, also by Stephen king, it sticks close to the book. If you like tense movies youll love this! Kathy bates really is a terrifying nutjob!

One of my favorite movies to watch over and over. Kathy Bates as Annie Wilkes is one of the best decisions ever made when casting. If you have read the novel before watching the film, fear not. This film is by far the PG version of that suspenseful tale. There is little blood in the movie and no gore to the best of my knowledge.
