From the mind of Stephen King, the master of horror behind Carrie, The Shining, The Stand and It, comes the terrifying psychological thriller that won the Academy Award for its iconic, bone-shattering performance by Kathy Bates (Dolores Claiborne). After his car crashes in the mountains during a blinding snowstorm, famous novelist Paul Sheldon (James Caan, Thief) is “rescued” from a car crash by Annie Wilkes (Bates), a fan obsessed with the main character in his series of novels. But when Wilkes reads his latest book—and learns he has killed her favorite character—she teaches Sheldon the real meaning of Misery. Injured and isolated far from help, Sheldon engages in a desperate battle of wits with Wilkes as she becomes ever more deranged and violent. Director Rob Reiner (The Princess Bride, A Few Good Men) and screenwriter William Goldman (Marathon Man, All the President’s Men) deliver a white-knuckle suspense tale that features Frances Sternhagen (The Mist), Richard Farnsworth (The Grey Fox) and the great Lauren Bacall (The Big Sleep).Special Features:4KUHD DISC 1: HDR Dolby Vision-Audio Commentary by Director Rob Reiner-Audio Commentary by Screenwriter William Goldman-5.1 Surround & 2.0 Lossless Stereo-Optional English Subtitles-UHD 100 Triple Layer DiscBLU-RAY DISC 2:-Audio Commentary by Director Rob Reiner-Audio Commentary by Screenwriter William Goldman-Misery Loves Company: Featurette (29:52)-Marc Shaiman’s Musical Misery Tour: Featurette (14:28)-Diagnosing Annie Wilkes: Featurette (8:47)-Advice for the Stalked: Featurette (4:58)-Profile of a Stalker: Featurette (6:17)-Celebrity Stalkers: Featurette (5:08)-Anti-Stalking Laws: Featurette (2:23)-Season’s Greetings Trailer (2:25)-Theatrical Trailer (2:20)-5.1 Surround & 2.0 Lossless Stereo-Optional English Subtitles-Dual-Layered BD50 Disc

Suspence and horror enclosed in a world of misery.
Suspence has never been so pure, or so well executed. Taken from the fantastic novel by Stephen King, this film could not be closer to the raw, and unforgiving fear in the book.Kathy Burkes oscar was so well deserved, as her performance in this film is painstakingly shocking, as well as admirable.The atmosphere of the film is endulging, but at the same time unpleasant, but with the volume of suspence turned to overdrive, this goes amiss.As usuall, Stephen King based films hold their classic moments, and boy, does this ever.The plot follows a sucessfull author who has a car crash, and is saved by his 'number one fan. But after his 'number one fan' finds out that he has killed off her favourite character, she is not happy, not happy at all...With no where to go, the author is forced to re-write a novel, to bring the favourite character back, but it proves harder than ever.This flim is a must for all horror and Stephen King fans, own this now!

Love it :)
I wasn't expecting to quite like this film so much as I've read the book and usually the films can't compare. Well, it does have slight differences here and there but overall, it's still a great film and I would definitely recommend :D Brilliant acting from Kathy Bates as the psyco fan, her Academy Award for Best Actress she won from this was well deserved :)
