THIS JANUARY, THERE WILL BE… MISERY! From the mind of Stephen King, the master of horror behind CARRIE, THE SHINING, THE STAND and IT, comes the terrifying psychological thriller that won the Academy Award for its iconic, bone-shattering performance by Kathy Bates (DOLORES CLAIBORNE).

After his car crashes in the mountains during a blinding snowstorm, famous novelist Paul Sheldon (James Caan, THIEF) is “rescued” from a car crash by Annie Wilkes (Bates), a fan obsessed with the main character in his series of novels. But when Wilkes reads his latest book—and learns he has killed her favorite character—she teaches Sheldon the real meaning of Misery. Injured and isolated far from help, Sheldon engages in a desperate battle of wits with Wilkes as she becomes ever more deranged and violent. Director Rob Reiner (THE PRINCESS BRIDE, SPINAL TAP) and screenwriter William Goldman (MARATHON MAN, ALL THE PRESIDENTS MEN) deliver a white-knuckle suspense tale that features Frances Sternhagen (THE MIST) and the great Lauren Bacall (THE BIG SLEEP).
