Misery (1990, dir. Rob Reiner)
A Hidden Beach Winter of Culture film night at the Electric Palace, Hastings.
Based on Stephen King's novel, Misery stars James Caan as novelist Paul Sheldon, rescued from a car crash in a snowstorm by his "number one fan" Annie Wilkes — played by Kathy Bates in an Oscar-winning performance. What begins as kindness turns into a terrifying captivity when Annie discovers Paul has killed off her beloved character, Misery Chastain. One of the great screen thrillers: claustrophobic, darkly funny and utterly gripping.
Part of the Hidden Beach Winter of Culture film season. Register your interest to hear first when tickets go on sale.
