Every Stephen King Movie Ranked Worst To Best

It's Stephen King's nightmare, and we're just living in it. In Misery, a successful romance writer is saved from a car crash by a maniacal fan who forces him to keep writing the novel series he plans to abandon after his newest book. 

Frighteningly intense, Misery is a film of big performances, from Kathy Bates's unsettling portrayal of the obsessive Annie Wilkes to the agonising work of the late James Caan, who spends the film both mentally and physically trapped. 

A cautionary tale about stardom and the price of creative hubris, as well as a darkly satirical treatise on toxic fandom (before the Internet made such a thing all the rage), Rob Reiner's Misery is a thriller that feels more real and disquieting with every passing year.
