If you loved Shock and Awe, try Misery

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Rob Reiner, and they sit in Drama / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to Shock and Awe, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Misery is

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.
