Misery
Directed by Rob Reiner
1990
★ 6.1 editorial score
Kathy Bates turned a fan into the most frightening character of the decade: a novelist wakes up in the house of the reader who saved him, and she has opinions about his ending.
“Paul Sheldon, an enormously successful hack writer who dreams of National Book Awards, becomes the prisoner of his self-styled "No. 1 fan." She is Annie Wilkes, a registered nurse who adores Paul's series of sappy romance novels about a beautiful 19th-century English heroine, Misery Chastain. As Paul might write in a moment of inspiration, it's a fate worse than death.”
