Misery is filled with creepiness. There is a sense of horror and uneasiness from the first moment that Kathy Bates says, "I'm your number one fan." Bates does a fantastic job of slowly unraveling during this film. Caan, who doesn't really play anything but himself in any of his roles, is believable as a famous novelist. This movie is a classic thriller movie and something that could be watched multiple times. Reiner did a good job shooting this movie that largely takes place in one room.

Rob Reiner's direction is a bit too on the nose at times and it's frustrating that all of Annie Wilkes' best character development comes towards the end, but if much of the weight of the movie rests on Kathy Bates' shoulders, that's fine because she's phenomenal. By using its consistently high tension and its location so adequately, Misery joins... perhaps the Elite Few... of the great King adaptations in existence.

Becomes increasingly creepier and suspenseful to the point where you just embrace the fucked up nature of the situation. Bates and Caan are great, though had I been in his place, I would've probably been like Homer in that Simpsons episode where he is lying on the couch after injuring his back, ringing his handbell: Oh, Annie, I'm still hurt! ANNIE! GET THE DOOR!

This lost some effect on me, because its story has been copied and parodied so much even seeing the film the first time now I knew the plot already. And it isn't excellent made enough to completely compensate for this predictability.

This is a good example of a chord striking ill, on account of personal preferences for less 'chilly' atmosphere.
