Misery is a movie that I have always wanted to watch, especially because it is one of Kathy Bates’s best performances. However, it has also always been a movie that I planned to watch after I read Stephen King’s original book of the same name. I completed the book in 2014 and loved it, but I just kept delaying watching the film.
Logically, I should have watched it in 2014 after I read the book. Therefore, I could have judged the differences and rode the high of finishing a book I really enjoyed. But that didn’t happen. I can’t recall why I never watched the movie after finishing the book, maybe it was as simple as it just wasn’t on any streaming service I subscribed to at the time. Nearly a decade later, I finally watched Misery.
