What’re you smoking? Vastly different characters with different motives and contrasting performances. These two antagonists don’t have too much in common whatsoever.
When you see some stupid scary slasher character murder someone with a butcher knife, it can be gross and spooky. But in this movie, when there's real characters with development, a fragile lady swinging a hammer at a man's legs can be so much more psychologically terrifying. Character is where true horror comes from
I completely agree. And I love how layered Annie is. She's insane and terrifying but there are a couple scenes that show her in a deep depression that makes her more realistic. She's a very sick, sad woman who seriously needs mental help. People like Annie exist. Very well written character and Kathy's performance made it incredible.
The book was soooo much more gruesome. From cutting off his foot with an axe, blow torching the stump, running a lawn mower over a young officers face, like holy crap
Remember the strands of hair as traps? Making Paul drink his urine or die from dehydration. The book was seriously messed up! Stephen said it was about his cocaine addiction that was his biggest fan. He said it was slowly trying to cripple and kill him. Annie Wilkes=Cocaine Addiction.
Some travel quite a ways to watch a premiere so it could happen. "Oh, Chris, I'm gonna click right here and Stuckmanized!" she whacks away on lower extremities...
It would be Kevin Feige first. "You dirty birdie.... You _killed_ Captain America!" "But it was integral to the plot, and his contract ran out." "I don't care! You killed him! YOU KILLED MY CAPTAIN AMERICA!!" **chair smash** "But, but we still have Sam Wilson!"" **Mallet to the legs**
Slade Wilson Very true. My roommate's murderer tried the whole Cathy Bates thing. Through the whole trial and penalty phase retrial, she was like the nice Cathy Bates and was quite fakr. It was proven in coirt beyond doubt just how much she was like psycho Cathy Bates. She did far worse than a mallet. Now she's rotting away in prison. There are many things that I wouldn't put past anybody.
When you said that Kathy Bates winning an oscar is the only time an adaptation of a Stephen King novel led to an oscar winning, I couldn't believe it. My first reflex was to assume that The Green Mile or Shawshank Redemption won at least 1 academy awards....but they didn't. The academy awards makes no sens at all sometimes
Yeah, Because it seems like a crash like that wouldn’t break both of your legs. And damage you arm. Maybe, but it seems like a good theory, that fit in the movie.
@@AbsoluteApril it’s an interesting theory. But how did she know he was the one going to be driving by, and at that time, and how did she cause a car to crash? And just that car?
@@PhoenicianPrincess88 she knew his schedule and that he was at the Silver Creek Lodge, she could have been stalking/following him, it's in line with her character
Imagine if he wrote the script to Misery...scrap that, imagine if George R. R Martin wrote every movie script, The Emoji Movie would be worth watching.
“She can go from the sweetest woman on earth to a complete psychopath, like THAT!” By this definition I have dated a lot of of Oscar worthy ladies... perhaps exclusively.
I believe Kathy Bates was amazing in Stephen King's "Delores Claiborne." Although she played a much more subdued character, her accent and facial expressions were on point. While that film did not receive any where near the same praise or attention, both of these films prove how versatile and commanding Kathy Bates is as an actor. As always, Chris, I thoroughly enjoy watching your reviews. Well done!
No. There were a lot of differences between the film and the novel. She doesn't hit him with a sledgehammer in the book. She cuts off his feet. The book and film are way different, for many reasons. Pet Sematary is really faithful, and so is the TV miniseries of The Shining.
One of my favourite and earliest Stephen king books. I believe I began reading a copy belonging to somebody my mum knew and we were on their canal boat. Afterwards I got myself the copy I still own today. I reread it every so often. A brilliant and chilling story of captivity and obsession and the act of the creation of art.
I like it when people like you are the ones who are listened to by thousands, an amazing reviewer and film enthusiast, you with your honest and accurate opinions have recommended to me some of my all time favorite movies. you do not repeat whats already out there. this is how youtube should be done...
One of these movies that really deserves the predicate masterpiece. The flawless and believable performance(s) of Kathy Bates (also James Caan was great) transporting the tension into your living room, makes this movie so great. A+ it deserved well.
Fantastic review. One of my favorites from Stuckmann. I loved the fact that he recognized how Caan's role was pretty ballsy to do. I had never thought of that. Kudos Chris.
LOVE that you reviewed this movie. I was in middle school 10 years ago and my media teacher got me into movies by showing all of us Misery. For every movie we watched in this class everyone was yelling. However, the class was dead silent while Kathy Bates was ever talking in this film. I can't say enough great things about this film and your review was great!
I like to think Misery is Rob Reiners underrated SK movie. If people think of him I assume more people think Stand By Me. With that being said I would love to see you do Frank Darbonts most underrated movie (imo) The Mist. Shawshank and Green Mile overshadow The Mist but I'd love to see your thoughts on it.
Chris, please review: The Indiana Jones movies Boondock saints The Christopher Reeve superman movies Michael Keatons Batman movies Saving private ryan More of the bond movies Bone tomahawk The godfather trilogy The shawshank redemption Iron man Pulp fiction Schindlers list The terminator movies Braveheart 2001: a space odyssey and a hilariocity of gods of Egypt Please like so he can see this
He has reviewed Indiana Jones He'll definitely review Shawshank Maybe next year he'll review 2001 for the 50th anniversary The Tarantino films will probably be before his Charles Manson film The Terminator probably before the next one that's by James Cameron
Eirik Heggeli He talked about the Keaton Batman Movies back in 2012, it was collaboration video with the Schmoes. I agree with all other movie you've mentioned. Would love to hear his thoughts on those movies
What I really like about the being is when Annie says he’ll kill the author, she really meant that, not just an empty threat. What a relief Paul escaped
Love this movie. Kathy Bates and James Caan rule the screen with their performances. Hadn’t seen since probably 1993 and then just recently. Was even better than I remembered.
Excellent review chris also one of my favorite movies,when you finish stephen king movies,can you do a review on shaun of the dead and hot fuzz to complete the cornetto trilogy?
I actually haven't seen this one yet because I wanted to read the book first. I just finished it and it was absolutely amazing. If the movie is as good as I remember Dolores Clairbourne being... Im gonna love it. Love you reviewing the oldies!
One of my favorite movies of all time. Omg what a masterpiece this has always been. If I lived amongst the time of Shakespeare, this would hands down be my Hamlet. Blows me away each time I watch it. ❤ good Lord they should never have to work again after these performances.
A faultless movie from beginning to end. Acting, script, cinematography, editing and music. Many iconic scenes. They don't make them like this anymore. Spot on review.
Would love to see you do a review comparison of the returning Annie Wilkes character from Castlerock season 2 and how she stacks up to the Misery Annie?
Here is the strange part, this was always one of my favorite films. I went to see the Broadway performance of this story a couple years back. Laurie Metcalf played Annie, and Bruce Willis played Sheldon. Bruce was...ok Laurie Metcalf played the hell out of that role. Almost equal to Kathy Bates.
The direction in this film is so inspired by Hitchcock, especially in the beginning where the camera focus on important objects. Good job Rob Reiner, that's definitely a compliment!
just wanted to comment on something and was wondering if anyone els noticed what there trying to do with the SK univers. it looks like there trying to make a chain of movies that are some how connected in the same universe, IT Being from the Dark Tower Realm, dark tower/Shining connections. anyone els have any thoughts on this ?
I remember the scene where something in the room was on fire (....Was it the manuscript? )...& there were hot ashes flying around, as she was trying to beat out the flames. She exclaimed..... ''Heavens to Betsy!" It stood out to me, because the only other person I've ever heard use that phrase.....was my mother, when I was growing up in the 1960s. Not sure what it even means, and even tried to do a SEARCH on its origins, couldn't find an answer.
The best King adaptation, hands down.There's no overblown drama and there's now overblown horror, like in most other King's adaptations. Just a frightningly realisitc story, that might have as well happened in real life, which makes it so compelling.
I watched this film many times but I loved it in every moment even the cinematography has great potential by Barry Soddenfeld. It has great psychological terror by Kathy Bates' evil character. It has laughs in a few scenes to the disturbing behavior by her. This film works well including Kathy Bates' Oscar award winning performance almost like Anthony Hopkins' Hannibal in The Silence of the Lambs a year later. This best film never gets old and brilliant. A+ for me. It's a masterpiece. Also it's a 30th Anniversary this year. Wanna watch it again. Love this film.
Kathy Bates was also in the Stand. Another Stephen King movie based on his EPIC masterpiece novel of the same name. She plays a radio station DJ who appears every so often to report what's happening in the larger context, outside the immediate purview of the main characters we're watching on-screen at that particular moment, and she's amazing, as usual. 👍😊
I just watched this movie on Hulu and omg I was on the edge of my seat the whole time . This movie came out the year I was born in 1990. I think this is one of my favorite movies now, I can’t believe I’ve never seen this movie before today.
I'm your number one fan, Chris...

The sheriff's wife was played by my grandmother, Frances Sternhagen.
No
That’s pretty cool.
That’s just bs
What’s your last name then
Wow a bunch of idiots in this comment thread acting as if this is completely impossible.
You didn't even mention the scene when Anne goes out to get new paper and Paul picks the lock and explores the apartment. That was chilling man!
Omg that was so intense!!
even better in the book!
@@AbsoluteApril I can't look a bobby pin in the eye after reading that scene.
It’s not an apartment you idiot. It’s a house
Very true.
I'll never forget sitting in the theater watching this movie and everyone gasping in horror at the hobbling scene.
This must have been amazing to watch this at the cinema!
I got a blowjob during this movie. I agree, it was quite the experience.
@@EddieMachetti fuck
I found the scene where he beats Annie with the typewriter more horrifying!
@@PippaPPod Why that was awesome
This movie scared the shit out of me. When I first seen it I was young. Kathy Bates convinced me to stay away from strange places.
Inquiring Minds SAME
I just watched it with my dad, I’m almost 13, it was a good ass movie
A good lesson for a kid
And strangers
Will have to check it out
John Goodman's role in 10 Cloverfield Lane reminds me of Kathy Bates' role in this movie.
Nicholas Viespoli Now that you say It...
Glad I wasn't the only one who saw the resemblance!
Nicholas Viespoli Good eye!
Yup, loved his performance.
What’re you smoking? Vastly different characters with different motives and contrasting performances. These two antagonists don’t have too much in common whatsoever.
“Eat it! Eat it!! You sick twisted fuck!!!”
I love that line toward the end of the film.
HE DIDN'T GET OUT OF THE COCKADOODIE CAR
eric95209 LMFAO!
It became a joke through all of the childhood of my sister and I. Along with other quotes from this film.
That’s Me and my family’s classic joke 😂
Everyone cheats like that in...chapter plays
😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
Kathy Bates is very versatile. she can play anybody.
But can she play Stoke on a cold, rainy night?
Can't play a black woman
Detective Spoopy Egg With CGI and Mocap? You bet your ass she could.
Bobby Boucher's mom! She's the debbil!
She was great in Family guy when she was in the hot tub
When you see some stupid scary slasher character murder someone with a butcher knife, it can be gross and spooky. But in this movie, when there's real characters with development, a fragile lady swinging a hammer at a man's legs can be so much more psychologically terrifying. Character is where true horror comes from
I completely agree. And I love how layered Annie is. She's insane and terrifying but there are a couple scenes that show her in a deep depression that makes her more realistic. She's a very sick, sad woman who seriously needs mental help. People like Annie exist. Very well written character and Kathy's performance made it incredible.
The book was soooo much more gruesome. From cutting off his foot with an axe, blow torching the stump, running a lawn mower over a young officers face, like holy crap
Yeah... happy that wasn't adapted...
Marcus Gabrielson LOL blow torching the stump!
Books are always gruesome.
Marcus Gabrielson fuck! I gotta read.
Remember the strands of hair as traps? Making Paul drink his urine or die from dehydration. The book was seriously messed up! Stephen said it was about his cocaine addiction that was his biggest fan. He said it was slowly trying to cripple and kill him. Annie Wilkes=Cocaine Addiction.
What I like about Caan's performance is that it brings kind of a sense of humor to the movie so it's not too depressing
Now I wonder how likely Misery can happen to a film critic who crashes his car while traveling in a snowy region?
Enrique Cortez Oh god I wouldn't be surprised
Some travel quite a ways to watch a premiere so it could happen. "Oh, Chris, I'm gonna click right here and Stuckmanized!" she whacks away on lower extremities...
It would be Kevin Feige first.
"You dirty birdie.... You _killed_ Captain America!"
"But it was integral to the plot, and his contract ran out."
"I don't care! You killed him! YOU KILLED MY CAPTAIN AMERICA!!" **chair smash**
"But, but we still have Sam Wilson!""
**Mallet to the legs**
i've been laughing so hard at this
Slade Wilson Very true. My roommate's murderer tried the whole Cathy Bates thing. Through the whole trial and penalty phase retrial, she was like the nice Cathy Bates and was quite fakr. It was proven in coirt beyond doubt just how much she was like psycho Cathy Bates. She did far worse than a mallet. Now she's rotting away in prison. There are many things that I wouldn't put past anybody.
I love Kathy Bates. I have _very_ few favorite actresses and she's one of them.
Are you her... number one fan ;)
Rakuyo lmaaaooo yes!
darkprince56 my favorite actress is Alexis Texas
KatieRouge I think she was even better as Dolores Claiborne than in Misery.
She reminds me of my mum a bit.
When you said that Kathy Bates winning an oscar is the only time an adaptation of a Stephen King novel led to an oscar winning, I couldn't believe it. My first reflex was to assume that The Green Mile or Shawshank Redemption won at least 1 academy awards....but they didn't. The academy awards makes no sens at all sometimes
Misery, Carrie (1976), The Shining and The Mist are my favorite movies from Stephen King. Can't wait for IT.
Luan Penna There All Gonna Laugh At You!#
Yes those are the best ones
zanna90 the shining is a Kubrick film. If want King's version go watch the mini series
I think The Mist isn't really good. I'd put Shawshank in that place
Carrie is both horrible, sad and beautiful. The mother... Dear lord.
Kathy Bates would be a good dlc in Mortal Kombat X lol....😂😂😂
The book is far more gruesome.
Spoiler:
She cuts his feet and thumb off instead of breaking them. Also, she runs over a guys head with a lawnmower.
cool
Haha don't forget the scene where she brings in his finger on a birthday cake in the middle of the night
@@herebyhereby2874 omfg!!!!
Dammmmmmm!!!!!!!
I could not sleep for weeks after reading it...
One of my favorite Stephen King films/books.
It IS mine. And it's so gratifying to know the film adaptation was pretty much as great as the book.
Theory: she destroyed his legs in the first place
Biophoton Mads Right!!!!!
it is speculated she is the one that actually caused him to drive off the road and crash
Yeah, Because it seems like a crash like that wouldn’t break both of your legs. And damage you arm. Maybe, but it seems like a good theory, that fit in the movie.
@@AbsoluteApril it’s an interesting theory. But how did she know he was the one going to be driving by, and at that time, and how did she cause a car to crash? And just that car?
@@PhoenicianPrincess88 she knew his schedule and that he was at the Silver Creek Lodge, she could have been stalking/following him, it's in line with her character
People forget about Rob Reiner, but man was he churnin out hits!!
And then he made North...
Meathead!
BUTTER!!
Imagine this movie with George R.R Martin as the main protagonist. 😂
I would pay for that.
Imagine if he wrote the script to Misery...scrap that, imagine if George R. R Martin wrote every movie script, The Emoji Movie would be worth watching.
Carlos Donizetti Oh, shit 😂
Maybe he would finally finish a book
Carlos Donizetti MAKE DANY AND JON MARRY
Top 3 favourite Stephen King adaptions.

2. Misery
3. The Mist

1) the shining
2) Shawshank redemption

Actually forgot about Green Mile. Great movie. The Mist was also very good. The ending is still the best ending I've ever seen.
“She can go from the sweetest woman on earth to a complete psychopath, like THAT!”
By this definition I have dated a lot of of Oscar worthy ladies... perhaps exclusively.

This is the most-faithful King adaptation I've seen.
No. There were a lot of differences between the film and the novel. She doesn't hit him with a sledgehammer in the book. She cuts off his feet. The book and film are way different, for many reasons.
Pet Sematary is really faithful, and so is the TV miniseries of The Shining.
The original Carrie is pretty damn close to the book.
Kathy Bates as Annie Wilkes is one of the best (horror or just best ) performances of all time. Along with Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lector
"Not Shawshank, not Stand by Me, Cathy Bates and Misery."
I know you didn't intend to, Christopher, but NICE RHYMING! EXCELLENT!!!
Doesn’t really rhyme well if you think about it.
Korova Synth it does? Seven syllables with the same ending 😂
*BARS*
One of my favourite and earliest Stephen king books. I believe I began reading a copy belonging to somebody my mum knew and we were on their canal boat.

- The Green Mile
- The Mist
- T H E S H I N I N G
yes the shining
If he doesn't review all of these I will be highly pissed.
I really hope he reviews The Mist, its my favorite SK adaptation
yea really wanna hear chris' take on it.

I remember seeing this movie when it came out in the theaters. It has aged well. I miss watching movies that gripped you like this.
Im still missing them loool. 3 years later.
I wondered what happened when a movie got an A+
you should review The Departed. It's one of my favourite movies of all time and has great performances by DiCaprio and Nicholson
And Dropkick Murphys music!
The original Infernal Affairs is even better.
Akanksh Sharma yes please!
Akanksh Sharma the departed was 1 of the most disappointing films I've ever seen
There's a short story called Survivor Type. ;)

Its way worse in the book...
Did anyone notice the music during the Hobbling scene sounds exactly like one of the Game of Thrones themes?
Wish we could have more movies like this, especially in the horror genre, and yes i did like 10 cloverfield lane
I like to think Misery is Rob Reiners underrated SK movie. If people think of him I assume more people think Stand By Me. With that being said I would love to see you do Frank Darbonts most underrated movie (imo) The Mist. Shawshank and Green Mile overshadow The Mist but I'd love to see your thoughts on it.

One of my favorite movie adaptations from a King's novel is The Dead Zone by Cronenberg. 😊
One of my favorite movies of all time. Omg what a masterpiece this has always been. If I lived amongst the time of Shakespeare, this would hands down be my Hamlet. Blows me away each time I watch it. ❤ good Lord they should never have to work again after these performances.

David Corro, try reading the Stand. From there you try also Salem's Lot, the Shinning or From a Buick 8.
The last time I watched a Chris Stuckmann review THIS good, Zod's neck was still intact.
I remember the scene where something in the room was on fire (....Was it the manuscript? )...& there were hot ashes flying around, as she was trying to beat out the flames. She exclaimed..... ''Heavens to Betsy!" It stood out to me, because the only other person I've ever heard use that phrase.....was my mother, when I was growing up in the 1960s. Not sure what it even means, and even tried to do a SEARCH on its origins, couldn't find an answer.
Do The Shining
Off course he will do it, you cant talk about King's work without mentioning this.
Yeah I guess.
He did

She plays a radio station DJ who appears every so often to report what's happening in the larger context, outside the immediate purview of the main characters we're watching on-screen at that particular moment, and she's amazing, as usual. 👍😊
I just watched this movie on Hulu and omg I was on the edge of my seat the whole time . This movie came out the year I was born in 1990. I think this is one of my favorite movies now, I can’t believe I’ve never seen this movie before today.
i really wanna see a movie adaption of 11.22.63
!!! We need "Girls Trip" Review ASAP
Stop spamming the comments. The movie is a generic, boring, unoriginal chick-flick.
Surprisingly, it was actually pretty funny, unlike the usual boring chick-flicks such as Rough Night.
Reagon Alford It was actually a pretty good damn movie. Perhaps you're just lacking in the humor department.
I feel like this was a toungue in cheek book King wrote trying to let out the anger of dealing with his crazy fans.
Kathy Bates also appeared in films with Leonardo and Kate such as: Titanic (1997), Revolutionary Road (2008)
Great review of a great movie. Misery is in my top three Stephen King adaptations, along with The Shawshank Redemption and Stand By Me.
