Novelist Paul Sheldon doesn't remember the blinding blizzard that sent his car spinning off the road. He doesn't remember being nursed back from unconsciousness. But he will never forget Annie Wilkes. James Caan and Academy Award winner Kathy Bates star in the boneshattering thriller Misery, adapted from the novel by Stephen King. As Paul (Caan) recuperates from his injuries in the secluded cabin of his benefactor Annie (Bates), he begins to discover that beneath the seemingly kind and naive exterior of his selfdescribed "number one fan" lurks a mind that is cunning, unhinged, and bent on keeping her favorite writer as her personal prisoner for the rest of his "cockadoodie" life and Sheldon must engage his saviorturnedcaptor in a battle of wills that will push them both to the brink. Adapted by twotime Oscar winning screenwriter William Goldman and directed by Rob Reiner (Stand By Me, The Princess Bride), Misery is considered by critics and fans (number ones and others) to be among the greatest horrorthrillers of alltime. Revisit this classic tonight with your friends after all, Misery loves company.
