Misery review: Bound to have you on the edge of your seat

Kathy Bates gives a stunning perfomance as the oh-so likeable but oh-so malevolent Annie

Watch David and Margaret's original review of Misery for The Movie Show

Margaret: It's basically a two-hander with Kathy Bates giving a stunning perfomance as the oh-so likeable but oh-so malevolent Annie, and James Caan is also wonderful as Paul. This is real escapist stuff, an hour and a half of getting away from it all. Rob Reiner does a slap-up job holding everything together very suspensefully. It's good entertainment.

David Stratton: It's more amusing than most other Stephen King books, I think it probably is the best adaption of a Stephen King book since Carrie.
