The scene where she breaks his feet is horrifically gross, but excellent, and perfect for this movie. And, what a great movie it is!

One of the better Stephen King adaptations. Misery is truly scary and doesn't seem at all far-fetched when you think about what kind of people are out there.

A Classic

This is my favorite Stephen King novel. My favorite film made off a Stephen King novel. Kathy Bates def deserves the Oscar she won for this film. The scene with the sledge hammer. Holy sh!t! Ouch! I like that commercial they did off of that scene not that long ago. It's pretty funny.

I Love the Misery Books

Kathy Bates was brilliant in her portrayal of one of the best villains to ever grace the big screen. And she won the Oscar for it, so everyone should be happy. However, Kathy Bates wasn't the only amazing thing about this movie. Its truly brilliant! Utterly brilliant! Stephen King's craftily woven story takes on the psyche of the audience and scares us all into submission, causing to ask certain questions to ourselves..."What if...?" And then the credits roll and our minds have been thoroughly scrubbed clean of any happiness. Way to go Reiner!

I am your number 1 fan!!!

Misery is without a doubt one of the best horro films of the 90's, and in my opinion, Stephen King's third best adaptation into a movie behind Shawshank Redemption and Dolores Claibourne. This is TRUE horror, there's no monsters, no mega special effects, just Kathy Bates who is truly made the big time as one of the scariest villains in horror movie history. It's about a man named Paul Sheldon, he's an author, made incredibly famous by his popular books, specially his series called "Misery", the books are apparently about a woman in the old days who goes through heavy times in her life and he shares her pain and strength with the readers. When he finishes his last Misery book, he decides to celebrate and is heading back for his daughter's birthday, but he gets caught in a horrible blizzard...
