Misery Ratings & Reviews
- thereelvoice27 de febrero de 2025Misery is easily one of the best film adaptations of a Stephen King novel. Kathy Bates is absolutely terrifying as a crazed fan that will do anything to keep her favorite author working. A tense atmosphere, horrifying premise and fantastic performances elevates this film to classic status. If you’re a writer, artist, or even a little wary of an admirer, Misery will have you looking over your shoulder. Psychological horror fans, Misery is a must watch!

- James Saenz2 de marzo de 2026virginia and buster are the best i love them so much. kathy bates was fantastic in this role. stephen king try not to make your protagonist a writer challenge failed.
- Atlplexer225 de enero de 2026I recently revisited this timeless film, and it continues to impress as a compelling psychological thriller. For those seeking an engaging cinematic experience under two hours, I highly recommend this emotional journey.
- PJ Kix15 de diciembre de 2025Ok overall but the ending wasn’t very satisfying. Felt like something was missing
- Eric Bakke5 de noviembre de 2024A cockadoodie masterpiece. Kathy Bates performance is one of the most memorable to ever be recorded on film.
- DANNYZUKO7815 de marzo de 2025IT'S A GREAT HORROR WITH KATHY BATES AND JAMES CAAN
- Terrence Martineau7 de diciembre de 2025Bates is so good in this ❤️ …roller coaster ride… horror, scare and even funny at times… It has everything!
- mickerdoo19 de octubre de 2025Hopelessness and Annie’s psychosis help this nearly one room drama have legs. Buster and his wife were great. Bates is endearingly wacky.
- TetCorp1923 de septiembre de 2025So damn good. Kathy bates delivers nothing but Range and Chills
- Angel Perry25 de julio de 2025Loved Stephen king movies my whole life.
- Movie Reviewers' Club26 de enero de 2025Having read Stephen King's Misery before watching the screen adaptation, I was able to really familiarize myself with the characters and settings like never before. Having said that, the movie stands tall all on its own. With riveting moments of anger, excitement and even love, Misery finds its way to the top 90's movies as a gripping drama and thriller. Paul Sheldon has just finished one of his most recent novels. When doing so he always has the same routine. Travel to Boulder, CO and get the same room at the Boulderado Hotel. Lighting a single cigarette and have a glass of Don Perignon to celebrate has become a tradition as well. On his way back, after finishing the novel, he gets thrown into a terrible blizzard. His car goes hurdling through the air and lands all beat up in a side ditch. Ever since the moment the car flew off the road, his life had changed forever. In this enthralling book you will find yourself experiencing times of pain, confusion and scary out-lashes from his so-called "caretaker". Drugged and beaten, Paul manages to continue on in the slim hope of being rescued. With Rob Reiner at the lead, Stephen King's 23 published book becomes a fantastic motion picture that encapsulates all the emotions from the book showing the high similarity between the two. Overall the film captures in good detail what it would be like to be held captive by your savior.
- Scott Thomas10 de febrero de 2025I’m not sure how many times I’ve seen this film, but it never fails to entertain me.
