Jack F This is one of my favorite horror movies. I simply must see it again. The tension you feel is so real when you watch it. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/19/25 Full Review Josh C. This movie was great and the actor who played Annie did a wonderful job the only reason I have it four stars is because it is a little slow at times the ending was awesome and honestly a chefs kiss Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/19/25 Full Review Luis Ivan M An effective psychological thriller. The film excels across the board, with every element working together to convey the unnerving emotions our protagonist experiences. The writing is strong, though some of its structural precision likely stems from its source material, Stephen King’s novel of the same name. If there’s a flaw, it comes early in the first act, where one scene relies too heavily on exposition to explain key details. It’s a minor nitpick that quickly fades once the inciting incident hits and the story gains momentum. From there, the direction and performances deliver in full, particularly from the two leads, whose dynamic anchors the tension throughout. Cinematography is beautiful and effective, even if not particularly striking, while the editing stands out as a masterclass in maintaining suspense and pacing. A few supporting characters play gratifying roles in the narrative, though a sudden time jump near the end leaves one of their storylines without full closure; again, a small but noticeable issue. Overall, it’s a very well-executed film that grips from start to finish. Thoughtful, tense, and emotionally grounded, I definitely recommend it. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/10/25 Full Review Maksim S THIS, IS Pure Psychological Terror. Misery may be Stephen King’s finest adaptation, a masterclass in tension, dread, and darkly twisted humor. The story is deceptively simple — a famous author held captive by his “number one fan” — and the focus on just two main actors heightens every interaction, every glance, every threat. Kathy Bates delivers a performance of terrifying brilliance, embodying a psychotic intensity and borderline personality disorder so convincingly that the terror of being trapped with her becomes almost tangible. James Caan provides a perfect counterbalance, his fear and desperation making the suspense utterly immersive. The film is horrifying without relying on gore; the psychological terror, dark humor, and unforgettable moments — particularly one scene that makes the viewer physically flinch — cement Misery as a horror of horrors. It’s a study in obsession, power, and survival, and a reminder that true fear often comes from the mind, not the blood.
