Stephen King's Misery starring Kathy Bates and James Caan

[Mr. Chizz]

Has anyone seen this? I watched it the other day and its a really frightening film. Kathy Bates is truely brilliant in the role of a psycopathic fan of a writer played by James Caan who she has locked up in her house. I especially found frightening the scene where James Caan's foot gets whacked by a hammer. Really painful to see.

Great film overall and one of the best thrillers.

Agreed, great film. A surprisingly good King adaptation. If you thought the film version of the 'hobbling' was painful to watch, you should know that that was a very much toned down version of what happens in the book.

 

[Rachel Smith]

It's truly wonderful, everytime Paul is trying to get back to the room when he sees that Annie is returning is heartstopping

 

[U.S.Hottie]

Brilliant film. One of my favourites. Kathy Bates was pure gold in this.

 

[yacob]

saw it in the cinema, i did!!
"hobbling" ..... BRRRRRR

 

[jessicaaaaa]

Even now, when rolling a "fag", and it doesnt go quite straight, I call it "one of Paul Sheldons legs".

Superb film and a fantastic adaption.

 

[midnight_sky01]

Brilliant psychological thriller. Edge of the seat stuff.

 

[Torres Girl]

Can you resist not reading what happened in the book

agreed...its scary in the film but its sooooo much more graphic in the book!

 

[SAD]

I still cant watch the hobbling scene without screwing up my face & holding on to my ankles - seriously.

Didn't Kathy Bates win an Best Actress Oscar for this film? If so, she truly deserved it. If not, then she truly should have. She scared the shit out of me!

I watched it last year during Channel 4's horror season.

I didn't find it very scary but i suppose it wasn't meant to be.

Got my heart pounding fast though everytime she was going to return home..

The end fight is brillant.

 

[Manda Moo]

Still can't watch that part of the movie, and always skim the part in the book gives me the total creeps, a brilliant adaption though

speaking of stephen king have you read geralRAB game, and the way she wriggles out of the handcuRAB....

 

[ωєєzу вαву..♥]

She was amazing in this film. She really deserved the AA.

One of the best actresses out there these days

 

[Hannabug]

Oh Yes!

Read that a good few years ago, and was working nights at the time - came in one morning, not feeling too well ('flu or something) and went to the loo - taking that with me to read.
I got to that bit, and was almost physically sick, I had to put the book down, and go back to it after I'd had a sleep, and was feeling a bit better.
And I have a pretty strong stomach when it comes to stuff like that - but when King goes into graphic detail like that, he has the ability to really hit the spot...................
