Damion Jan 21 Another one of Stephen Kings novels adapted flawlessly! See more Chris T @Chris651 5d One of the best horror movies of all time. I thought the movie did the book justice. A few differences but not many imo. Did a great job following King’s classic book. Kathy Bates best movie by far and James Cann was also amazing as usual. Total suspense, scary and will have you on the edge of your seat. The story is one of the best when it comes to the plot of a crazed super fan of someone famous. A must see for horror and mystery buffs. They don’t make scary movies this good anymore imo. Read the book also. Stephen King is a pure genius! See more Alex H. @MovieReviewersClub Feb 15 Having read Stephen King's Misery before watching the screen adaptation, I was able to really familiarize myself with the characters and settings like never before. Having said that, the movie stands tall all on its own. With riveting moments of anger, excitement and even love, Misery finds its way to the top 90's movies as a gripping drama and thriller. Paul Sheldon has just finished one of his most recent novels. When doing so he always has the same routine. Travel to Boulder, CO and reserve the same room at the Boulderado Hotel. Lighting a single cigarette and have a glass of Don Perignon to celebrate has become a tradition as well. On his way back, after finishing the novel, he gets thrown into a terrible blizzard. His car goes hurdling through the air and lands all beat up in a side ditch. Ever since the moment the car flew off the road, his life had changed forever. In this enthralling book you will find yourself experiencing times of pain, confusion and scary out-lashes from his so-called "caretaker". Drugged and beaten, Paul manages to continue on in the slim hope of being rescued. With Rob Reiner at the lead, Stephen King's 23 published book becomes a fantastic motion picture that encapsulates all the emotions from the book showing the high similarity between the two. Overall the film captures in good detail what it would be like to be held captive by your savior. See more Keith B B @Okbullard Feb 5 This was in the top ten favorite films. James Caan was excellent as usual but Kathy Bates was extraordinary and definitely earned her Oscar. It was such a thriller and had many intense scenes. I was shocked after my first watch decades ago. Give it a look you'll not be disappointed, I mean come on you can't go wrong with a Stephen King story. See more Trevor S @PopcornPopper Feb 5 One of the best King movie adaptations. A great film to watch annually in the winter. See more Kevin N. @TopCriticKevin Jan 31 Good and suspenseful.
