Additional InformationRomance author Paul Sheldon (James Caan) longs to be rid of Misery, his plucky heroine of seven novels. She has delivered him fame and fortune and recognition beyond the average writer's dreams, but she is also interminably linked to him. Determined to escape an eternal role as pulp novelist, he kills her off in the eighth novel and heads to his New England cabin to work on his own Great American Novel. Upon completion, Sheldon excitedly sets out for his New York City publisher in the midst of a raging blizzard and within minutes veers into a desolate snowbank. From the brink of death, he is rescued from the snow by Annie Wilkes (Kathy Bates), who just so happens to be Misery's self-professed biggest fan. At first, she nurses him back to health in her remote cabin, telling him the roads and phones are damaged by the storm, fawning over his literary accomplishments. However, things change when she purchases his eighth Misery book and reaches the point of Misery's death. Annie's psychotic underbelly swiftly surfaces as the unfortunate author is held clandestinely captive in her home. Meanwhile, a wily small-town sheriff (Richard Farnsworth) circles in...<BR>Director Rob Reiner's adaptation of Stephen King's novel is an eerie tale of obsessiveness and isolation. The film features an excellent turn by Caan and an Oscar-winning performance by Bates.

  • This movie is practically perfect on dvd...

    This movie is practically perfect on dvd, watching on dlp projector, 1080p, looks incredible. Very high quality dvd. These are the sorts of dvds that prove there is no need to upgrade to blu ray or 4k. E.g. you can see every pore in james caan's face.

  • Misery... It's exactly what Paul Sheldon (James Caan) had to endure in order to survive

    I read and watched the book/film many years ago and on buying it to watch now, it was - if at all possible - even better second tie round. Very engrossing; great story and brilliantly acted.

  • Misery - full of suspense and a bit scary!

    Absolutely gripping from start to finish! Only two main characters and both are brilliant actors. Not really for the faint hearted but the film is rated 18, so it is to be expected. A bit dated now but still well worth watching.
