MISERY

Based on Stephen King's novel, this psychological thriller stars James Caan as Paul Sheldon, a famous author who is rescued from a car accident by his "number one fan," Annie Wilkes (Kathy Bates). Annie's obsession with Paul's work takes a dark turn as she holds him captive in her remote home, forcing him to write a new novel according to her demands. Bates' chilling performance earned her an Academy Award, and the film is lauded for its intense suspense and disturbing portrayal of fanatical devotion.
