I generally like Stephen King movies, but without Kathy Bates' oscar-winning performance, this movie would have been mediocre at best. Her acting alone makes this movie worth watching, though I'm told that if you've read the book, the movie pales in... Full review

yet never once falters to build the dread necessary to make Misery an inescapably gripping drama.....Misery looks beautiful.....His brain has given us all sorts of classic films.....What makes Misery so triumphantly clever is how well it sneaks up on you.....It's an obscenely violent act that leaves such a visual impact few other dramatic films have..... ...
