Review of Misery (1990) by Jon P — 04 Mar 2013
Offering a vivid portrait of helplessness, humiliation and obsession, Rob Reiner's gripping Stephen King adaptation is a must-see for movie fans and book lovers everywhere, playing on the powers and perils of the written word. Kathy Bates' unstable hyperfan is as unsettling as she is unforgettable, and James Caan's disempowered, deadpan writer delivers comic relief without denting the movie's compelling aura of escalating dread.
Hitchcockian chiller packed with severe suspense and genuine jaw-dropping moments.
