Cert. 18 Length: 103 mins. Available on: Cinema Club, CC7157 Price: £4.99 Director: Rob Reiner Starring: Kathy Bates, James Caan With: Richard Farnsworth, Lauren Bacall, J.T. Walsh Plot: A successful romance novelist is nursed back to health after a snowy car crash by his Number One Fan (Bates) who turns out to be a serious sicko who won't let him go. Comments: Based on the chilling bestseller by Stephen King, Misery was brought to the screen by director Rob Reiner as one of the most effective thrillers of the 1990s. William Goldman's scrrenplay helped Reiner turn King's cautionary tale of fame and idolatry into a frightening tale of entrapment and psychotic behaviour.Kathy Bates won an Oscar for her performance as Annie Wilkes but Caan is equally superb as the celebrated author who must literally write for his life. The best scene is when she hobbles him! In the book she cuts his feet off! Dr Blood's rating: 7/10 |
