Misery: There's Something Wrong With Annie Wilkes (Part 1)

[@TheRealCharnley]

I wish there could be a prequel to this. I would love to know Annie's backstory. The murders when she was a nurse... Her family...perhaps an ex husband she killed? The character needs her own story.

[@jbro3196]

Season 2 of Castle Rock is basically a prequel to Misery. It features Annie in her younger days as a nurse and the actress who plays her is PHENOMENAL!

[@christocr]

Kathy Bates was absolutely brilliant in this movie. She basically was the movie--her antics were hysterically funny even though she was about the most scary and evil villain you could ever ask for.

Incredible acting from Mrs Bates. Misery is one of my all time favorite books. I was skeptical about the movie, but it really does justice to Stephen King's work surely the best movie adaptation of any his books. I can read it twice an year for the rest of my life and will always fascinate and scare me.. One of the few of its genre that really have you thinking, it could really happen to you. A real classic, and movie is a must watch for every King fan.

In the book, the new Misery novel he writes under the supervision of Annie Wilkies turns out to be his best book of the series. And he decides to publish it in the end. Not to mention the little “surgery” Annies does do his foot is actually a smart decision since he has a problem to his leg that would have become much worse if not operated. So King’s book almost has a complete happy ending for Paul, affer all the drama and the horror.
