Misery (1990)

The Film Flamers: A Horror Movie Podcast

Misery is a 1990 American psychological thriller film directed by Rob Reiner, based on Stephen King's 1987 novel of the same name, starring James Caan, Kathy Bates, Lauren Bacall, Richard Farnsworth, and Frances Sternhagen. The plot centers around an author who is held captive by an obsessive fan who forces him to rewrite the finale to his novel series. Misery was the second Stephen King film adaptation directed by Rob Reiner, after 1986’s Stand By Me. Misery would go on to be a success and would launch the career of Kathy Bates. Though there have been lots of nominations (some we have covered here on The Film Flamers), Misery, so far, is the only King film to receive an Oscar.
