Review of Misery (1990) by Vero S — 08 Mar 2011
My heart pounded in my chest for about twenty minutes after I had finished watching this. It's amazing how such a simple plot which takes place mostly in only one place can be so terrifying and suspenseful.
Kathy Bates' performance is beyond brilliant. That impenetrable look in her eyes, that expression in her face that keeps you on the edge of your seat until the last minute waiting to see if she'll pay one of her polite compliments or break Paul's legs with a hammer is just wow.
Like many of Stephen King's stories, watching this movie is putting yourself through misery. But it's totally worth it. King, you magnificent wackjob, I hate you sometimes.
