MISERY IS ALIVE!! Misery Full Reaction Watch Along: https://www.patreon.com/thereelrejects Save & Invest In Your Future Today, visit: https://www.acorns.com/rejects With The Monkey horror movie releasing, it's time for Misery (1990) Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Analysis, & Spoiler Review! Tara Erickson & Andrew Gordon (Cinepals) dive into one of the most intense psychological thrillers ever—Rob Reiner’s Misery, based on the legendary Stephen King novel! This chilling classic follows Paul Sheldon (James Caan, The Godfather, Elf), a best-selling author who finds himself at the mercy of his number-one fan, Annie Wilkes (Kathy Bates, Titanic, American Horror Story), after a brutal car crash leaves him stranded in her remote home. As Annie’s obsession spirals into madness, Paul must fight for his survival in a game of manipulation and terror. The film also stars Richard Farnsworth (The Straight Story, The Grey Fox) as Sheriff Buster and Frances Sternhagen (The Mist, Sex and the City) as his wife, Virginia. We react to all of Misery’s most infamous moments, including The Car Crash, Annie’s "I’m Your Number One Fan" Introduction, The Typewriter Scene, Paul Sneaking Out of His Room, The Dinner Poisoning Attempt, The Hobbling Scene, The Final Fight, and The Chilling Ending! Stephen King’s Misery remains one of the most terrifying horror thrillers ever put to screen, and in honor of the horror master himself, here are some of his most famous film adaptations: The Shining (1980), Carrie (1976), It (2017), Pet Sematary (1989), The Green Mile (1999), Stand by Me (1986), The Mist (2007), Doctor Sleep (2019), Gerald’s Game (2017), and 1408 (2007).

Kathy Bates' mother was once asked how she felt about Kathey winning an Oscar and she said she felt Kathy wasn't really acting, as she had known Kathy as a teenager. 🤣

Stephen King was in the grips of severe alcoholism and cocaine addiction when he wrote the book. Annie was a metaphor for his addiction, holding him hostage and trying to kill him. He got clean and sober after his wife and kids staged an intervention and has stayed so for over 35 years.

A true Stephen King classic. That Ankle braking scene still hurts mine. Kathy Bates is a treasure. She was absolutely horrifying in this movie. Her Oscar was rightfully deserved.

That was funny that you said Paul Sheldon's agent 'talked like actors used to talk back in the day' without recognizing LAUREN BACALL who was one of those actors who talked like that back in the day!

James Caans performance is massively underrated in this film. He is the perfect foil for Bates unhinged brilliance

Fun fact one of her victims in her scrap book lived at the Stanley Hotel from the Shinning, poor guy survived all those ghosts but not this crazy lady

This is actually one of the most tame King-adaptations in direct comparison to the book. They massively toned down the degree of cruelty of the physical and psychological torture for the film.
