![]() ![]() ![]() It's obviously nothing resembling a classic, but this is a movie that you don't really hear much about when people talk about solid King adaptations. And, much to my surprise, I found that I actually enjoyed this movie. Misery has some horrific scenes, for sure, but I don't think of it as a full-on horror film, at least not like what King has been known for. If there's a common theme between them, it's that, with the exception of Carrie, none of them are horror films. I'm sure I'm missing some, but those are the ones that immediately come to mind. ![]() Examples of quality movies adapted from King stories/books range from: Carrie, Misery, Shawshank Redemption, Stand By Me, The Green Mile, Dolores Claiborne. There's exceptions to the rule, of course, particularly for a guy who's as prolific as King has been during his entire career. With that out of the way, film adaptations of Stephen King books/stories/etc have never been known for their high quality. And I mean that in the most complimentary manner possible. ![]() I'll just get this out of the way right now, I think this movie may have been the last time that Gary Busey played a character that actually resembled somewhat of an actual human being. ![]()
