Summary - Perfect 5.0

I’ve read many Stephen King novels and am a huge fan. I have not, however, read Misery. The movie makes me want to very much.

Acting - Perfect 5.0

Kathy Bates. Excellent psychopath. James Caan. Convincing torture victim. 1 + 1 = 2.

Male Stars - Perfect 5.0

Female Stars - Perfect 5.0

Female Costars - Perfect 5.0

Male Costars - Perfect 5.0

Film - Great 4.0

A very good, and effectively scary film. A masterpiece, if you will. Truly frightening dialogue makes Misery a truly frightening film. It hits you in the face, shocks yo, terrifies you, and repulses you. (All in a good way…)

Direction - Great 4.0

Dialogue - Perfect 5.0

Music - Good 3.0

Visuals - Good 3.0

Edge - Risqué 2.5

Even though the film is bloodless, it is very sadistic and brutal. A scene involves hobbling. Don’t know what that is? Maybe that’s for the better. Not for those with a weak stomach.

Sex Innocent 1.0

Violence Monstrous 5.0

Rudeness Polite 1.5

Reality - Surreal 2.2

Not hat unrealistic. Torture is portrayed in realistic, gritty fashion.

Circumstantial - Glib 2.0

Biological - Glib 2.0

Physical - Surreal 2.5
