Misery

1990 107 min R Drama · Thriller

Paul Sheldon used to write for a living. Now, he’s writing to stay alive.

A blizzard howls outside a remote Colorado cabin. A nurse drags the bloodied novelist inside, his leg shattered. She smiles as she snips the phone line. An idolatrous caretaker demands he rewrite her favorite character alive. His typewriter clacks through the night. Clever casting turns King’s novel into a slasher of literary ego.

Directed by Rob Reiner · Written by William Goldman

Starring Kathy Bates, James Caan, Richard Farnsworth, Lauren Bacall, Frances Sternhagen, Graham Jarvis
