[@DanGamingFan2406]

A true Stephen King classic. Kathy Bates is a treasure. She can do it all, comedy, drama, horror, suspense. I love how funny she can be and then is equally as terrifying.

[@ariwl1]

I once watched this movie with a friend who was seeing it for the first time. He said it was the scariest movie he'd ever seen on the grounds that everything in this movie could actually happen.

[@batmanvsjoker7725]

I always love seeing people's reactions to the hobbling scene. I may be a terrible person, but they're so entertaining. 😂

[@MariaStarkTargaryen]

innocent sadists we are))) as well as with the Red Wedding in Game of Thrones))

[@lanzknecht8599]

Fun facts: The movie was shot chronologically to build up the tension between Kathy Bates and James Caan. It worked terrific! Director Rob Reiner has a cameo as the helicopter pilot.

[@thewalruswasjason101]

Fun fact: saying fun fact is cringe

[@Elephant2024]

Kathy Bates was terrifying in this movie. 'Misery' was filmed in Nevada’s oldest town Genoa, which stood in for Silver Creek, CO. The crew built four buildings on Genoa’s main boulevard - a cafe, radiator shop, sheriff’s station, and a general store. The production also filmed at Nevada’s oldest thirst parlor, the Genoa Bar and Saloon.

[@markalexander3659]

Stephen King described Annie in her depressive episode(s) as being "The real Annie, with all her masks off" and I actually low-key feel bad for her during those scenes. She's a lot less volatile and unstable, too, and she's a lot more with reality than any other time. Like, she recognises what she's doing is wrong and can also see that Paul doesn't actually like being with her or love her. It's like deep down she realizes her action come from a place of desperate loneliness and fear of losing him.

[@shainewhite2781]

Kathy Bates took home the Oscar for Best Actress in the movie. Michael Douglas, Michael Keaton, Ed Harri, Harrison Ford, Kevin Costner, Paul Newman, Robert Redford, Al Pacino Robert DeNiro, and Kevin Kline were considered for the role of Paul Sheldon.

25:20... the penguin was facing the right direction again. She already knew at this point that he'd been out of his room.

[@Zylthis]

"give me some of your christing money" is one of my favorite lines ever.

[@toddhill7483]

That WAS one Big Bastard of a check!

[@stevenulch2764]

CLARISS you should read the book, she didn’t break his ankles. She cut half his lower leg off with an axe and cauterizes it with a blowtorch. She also makes him drink dirty mop water, runs over officer head with riding mower (was no Buster), and these are just 3 differences.

[@hardcorenativextreme]

The ending different, in they still fight but she goes to the barn to get the chainsaw but succumb to her wounds and dies there. And he is left days barracked before the cops find him still thinking she is alive

[@darthken815]

Anybody who says that this isn't a good movie doesn't have a leg to stand on. 😏

[@JustGrowingUp84]

Heh, nice!

[@masonsamvsandmemes5114]

Exactly cause they’ve been hobbled

[@crazyratlady3026]

I see what you did there 😂

[@Elephant2024]

Yes, this movie is LEGendary.

[@rickymoranjr9609]

Kathy Bates was amazing in this movie especially during the Hobble scene, she deserved an Academy Award for her perfect acting in this film

[@brittanyc.4540]

She did won the Academy Award for Best Actress at the 63rd Academy Awards, making Misery the only film based on a Stephen King novel to win an Oscar.

[@Zenobiadream]

Kathy winning the golden globe and the Oscar was chef kiss! She’s probably one of hollywoods greatest working actresses.

[@joshsleezeYT]

and THAT boys and girls… is why you should NEVER call yourself someone’s “number one fan”…

[@nsasupporter7557]

Fun fact: when Kathy Bates won the Oscar for this, she beat out Julia Roberts for Pretty Woman

[@phousefilms]

Too right she did...

[@stilesstilinski9640]

speaking of carrie, I think I got the biggest flex in my life, because Stephen King actually wrote that book on my birthday.

[@justindenney-hall5875]

Your eye makeup looks so cool, very on brand for Halloween!🎃

[@BenHatira]

One of the most deserved Oscar ever given in HW !

[@nsasupporter7557]

Did you know she beat out Julia Roberts for Pretty Woman?

[@axr7149]

One of my Top 5 favorite Best Actress wins ever. My current rankings are: 1) Vivien Leigh, A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE 2) Kathy Bates, MISERY 3) Julia Roberts, ERIN BROCKOVICH 4) Maggie Smith, THE PRIME OF MISS JEAN BRODIE 5) Louise Fletcher, ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST

[@jacquelinecallejas1390]

What Clariss said about fans vs celebrities knowing trivia reminds me I saw a game show where Danny Bonaduci was the host and the questions were made up by the show. He looked down at the question and said "OMG if you know this it is SCARY" and asked the contestant "What was the license plate number of the Partridge Family bus?" And the contestant rattled it off immediately. To which Danny told the guy to his face "You frighten me."

[@ishathompson8439]

I first watched this when I was sick in bed with a cold and soon regretted it. But overall it is a great movie and has one the of the best performances of acting all of time.

[@thomasbaker2067]

I read the Misery book two years ago and the foot scene in this movie is different from one in the book and I gotta say it`s a good thing that it was changed in the movie.

[@allenjessup6266]

Paul was driving what may be the worst car to drive in a blizzard. Powerful and rear wheel drive. Remember, humans always make the most believable monsters.

[@redviper6805]

Kathy Bates won an Oscar for her role. You should watch her acceptance speech. It’s funny. My Dad showed this to my brother and me from a Blockbuster Video store Another claustrophobic thriller where the protagonist is confined inside a building is WAIT UNTIL DARK. With the lovely Audrey Hepburn. Through a series of events in the prologue, a doll stuffed with heroin ends up in a disabled woman’s basement apartment and three crooks want it. What starts as a hustle gradually evolves into a nail biting battle of wits and an intense home invasion. There’s even a jump scare or two that will make your heart burst out of your chest

[@firegod001]

Thanks for rewatching this! Great reaction.

[@naaimshareef]

I always love the movie Misery. The moive Misery is a straight up classic movie, great acting performance from Katey Bates and James Caan. Plus CLASRISS you are a beautiful and fine young woman, o.k. now, she is cool.

[@poeslanding]

Clariss, I'm your number one fan...😂

[@justindenney-hall5875]

Clariss is such a delightful person, I'm so grateful to her now husband TimotheeReacts for introducing me to her channel, as well another creator named ANGELINA.

[@phousefilms]

Just finished reading "Misery"(saw the movie before I read it). Kathy Bates as Annie is far sweeter than book Annie. Book version though, does so much worse...(and not just in terms of Paul's foot). However, Bates did an amazing job of being unsettling even when she's happy. Annie of the book withholds Paul's pills to convince him to let her read his new book. At the end, Paul actually burned a fake copy of "Misery's Return", but kept the real copy and sold it, as it turned out it was really his best work(as it became a gothic mystery rather than a schlocky romance drama). Despite the fact he still has PTSD, it reawakens his love of writing again.

[@JJgibson1]

Check out the movies The People Under the Stairs(1991), Candyman(1992), Pet Sematary(1989), and Stand by Me(1986).

[@herbertkeithmiller]

15:41 the barbecue grill has a cover. All she has to do is put the cover on and the fire will go out. 😂

[@christianortiz-v1l]

6:42 i died from laughter 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@toddhill7483]

That's a lot of pressure on Paul to execute that with only one match.

[@joshuaweber4266]

My moms a die hard Steven King fan she's read all his books & scene all his movies

@stevenulch2764 thanks caption aviace

[@MrGpschmidt]

Kathy Bates is someone you want to hug. Annie Wilkes is someone you want to hug your hands around her neck. The first woman to win the Best Actress Oscar for a horror film and she kills it (pun intended). One of the best King adaptations (Rob Reiner also helmed another excellent adaptation for STAND BY ME) - the screenwriter William Goldman was one of the industry's best. The novel goes a bit harder re: the 'hobbling' (I'll let you explore that one yourself Clariss ;d) Caan IMO hardly ever gets the credit for this role - he has the more difficult one (the heavy lifting if you will) being largely bed-ridden and in fear for his life. He was always a welcome presence in film and he's SorelyMissed (again think this - Sonny Corleone finally meets his match ;d )

[@actorpmw]

Clariss I’m your number one fan!

[@amwfan88]

I'm not the biggest horror fan, but this is without a doubt a 5/5 movie for me. I rewatched it last year for the first time in 16 years, and I was still captivated by it at 35 as when I first saw it when I was 18.

You look so gooooooodddd 😅anywaysss great reaction love this movie

[@williamjones6031]

1. A mustang isn't a very good vehicle to drive in the snow. 2. Red flag #1: Anyone that says "Oogie" 3. The way she responded to the fire in the BBQ pit when he threw a match on the book: What do you expect? 4. In the book Annie chops his feet off (not just hobbling him). It IS Stephen King after all. 5. Kathy Bates won Best Actress Oscar. 6. Rob Reiner is a great director but, it's too bad he's a CPF.😭🤬 7. King wrote this because of a deep-seated fear of what overzealous fans might do. 8. RIP James Caan 😇 9. FWIW Kathy Bates recently announced her retirement.

[@BeaXRSmith]

Completely off-topic, but I adore the wainscotting and color scheme.

Drugging thing never would have actually worked. "Novril" is a fictional drug, but it says multiple times in the book that it's basically a high dose of Codeine. I'm prescribed Codeine and will sometimes chew them* when the pain is really bad and Codeine tastes INCREDIBLY bitter. You could add one Codeine pill to an entire batch of cake batter and you'd taste something nasty in that cake. *Thoroughly chewed up opioids start working in 10-15 mins as opposed to 30-45 mins if you swallow them whole

[@satyadasgumbyji8956]

Thanks for disclaimer, friend. About to dip😅 but have to say as an old dude, if i ever did reactions as someone whos seen most of the best Classics that get the views, id just have maybe a "Forrest Gump", "The Exorcist", & maybe a Kubrick & Hughes flick channel & just grab any & all people i could find who've never seen react with me. "Misery" is one such flick that is RECYCLABLE GOLD!!! Then id start another channel with a partner & eventuly add more partners & channels & randomly switch channels amongst us partners, all the while racking up views & subs via same recycled highly viewed Classics. I do believe you could literally have a "Forrest Gump Reaction Channel" showing it to random people who've never seen it & succeed in the reaction game. See ya! ✌️🌎❤️

[@zondapogani8706]

I watched Family Guy parody and it makes me watch this movie so bad. One of the greatest horrors, I like psychology horrors even more then some bloody crazy ones. 🎃🎃🎃

[@imagaybanana2004]

Not technically a horror movie, but if you want another movie that shows how terrifying snow is, watch Society of the Snow!!!!

[@stevenulch2764]

Psychological horror is still horror

[@imagaybanana2004]

@ I never said it wasn’t. I was saying that society of the snow is not a horror movie.

[@toddhill7483]

There's a lot of Cockadoodie reactions out there, but this isn't one of them.

[@FredDeSouza409]

So does Misery marry Ian or will it be Winthorne? 🤔

[@iaido7]

You should really check out Dolores Claiborne. It seriously is Kathy Bates best performance.

[@NOMAD-_-]

Oh terrifier if you don’t like over the top b horror movie gore then you will not like it I just watched the third one in theaters I thought I was gonna be the only one watching it until the last trailer one old lady and a couple come in so 4 all together the couple walk out half way through the movie the old lady walked out near the very end like did they not see the first two 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤

Love this movie. Based on one of my all-time fav books! Can't wait for your reaction to Carrie (1976)! Have you seen either of the remakes/read the book? I'm guessing you at least know the story? It's best going into it knowing as little as possible btw :)
