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)

Incredible mentalidadWhen 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.

Of the many Stephen King adaptations this is my favorite. I think a lot of people feel that it is a horror where it is more of a psychological thriller. The lengths that Annie goes to in order to support her unstable fantasy presents an unsettling depiction of how far some are willing to go to live out a delusional ideology. There is a certain realness to this film.

"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!
