Misery - five thriller hearts
/The Stephen King classic builds delicious anxiety as best selling novelist Sheldon (James Caan) is rescued from his carwreck by his number one fan, Annie (the perfect Kathy Bates). Taken back to her secluded ranch deep in the snow covered hills, Caan has little choice but to believe the nurse when she tells him severe storms have prevented help from coming and his serious injuries preclude him from being moved.
As Sheldon slowly recovers, he begins to suspect Annie isn't the stable and caring nurse she pretends to be and is intent on keeping her favourite author imprisoned in her home for the rest of his life.
It's one of the best psychological thrillers around (still), following the harrowing game played by the two protagonists. The suspense will have you chewing your nails- even the expensive shop bought ones... better keep the heart pills handy too...
