A heart-stopping psychological thriller, this Academy Award®-winning* film is one of the best horror thrillers ever. Adapted from a Stephen King novel by Oscar®-winning** screenwriter William Goldman (Hearts in Atlantis) and directed by Rob Reiner (A Few Good Men), this suspenseful masterpiece delivers genuine chills as it draws you into the harrowing game played between two cunning minds — one as sharp as a tack and the other as blunt as a sledgehammer.
Novelist Paul Sheldon (James Caan) doesn't remember the blinding blizzard that sent his car spinning off the road. Nor does he remember being nursed back from unconsciousness. All he remembers is waking up in the home of Annie Wilkes (Kathy Bates) — a maniacal fan who is bent on keeping her favourite writer as her personal prisoner...for the rest of his cock-a-doody life!
* 1990: Actress, (Bates)
** 1969: Screenplay, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid;
1976: Screenplay, Adaptation, All the President's Men
