Misery - Limited Edition (BLU-RAY 4K ULTRA HD)

PAUL SHELDON USED TO WRITE FOR A LIVING. NOW, HE'S WRITING TO STAY ALIVE. From director Rob Reiner (Stand By Me, A Few Good Men) and screenwriter William Goldman (Marathon Man, All the President's Men) comes Misery, a terrifying thriller based on the bestseller by Stephen King. Caught in a snowstorm, bestselling romantic novelist Paul Sheldon (James Caan) suffers a horrific car accident but is rescued by former nurse Annie Wilkes (Kathy Bates). With the phone lines down and the roads out of use for the winter, Annie - who happens to be Paul's "number one fan" - takes him home, sets his broken legs and tends him back to health. But fandom turns shockingly violent when Annie learns that Paul is moving on from the romance novels that made his name. Now trapped and at Annie's mercy, Paul must write like his life depends on it... because it really does. Bates (in an Academy Award-winning performance) and Caan are outstanding and are matched by a pitch-perfect supporting cast that includes Lauren Bacall, Richard Farnsworth and Frances Sternhagen. Reiner takes an unexpected turn to the darker side and proves himself an adept disciple of Alfred Hitchcock as he delivers shocks and suspense worthy of the master.
