That was an excellent one.

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Open to close the movie is 103 min. long. We'll say 93 min. of actual movie. It is 92 min. of negativity and 1 min. of positivity....but that 92 min. of negativity makes that 1 min. of positivity worth it.

After watching the trailer I thought "well, now I've seen the whole movie without even having to watch it", but HELL NO!! This is definitely a psychological thriller that invokes fear, panic, and a touch of nausea just for what this poor woman is going through. The story is so much bigger than you imagine.?It's not necessarily gory but there are a few seconds that are look away scenes...The acting was superb and the storyline is new and fresh...I was a huge Stephen King fan growing up but fell off the Castle Rock wagon a while ago and didn't even know he was behind this madness until I read the reviews after watching this movie. Maybe it's because I usually like his books better and didn't know this was his going in since I never read it. Definitely two thumbs up

Jessie and Gerald go to their lakehouse for a little end-of-season R&R which, hopefully, might help out their ailing marriage. Gerald interprets this as offering the opportunity to try out a little experimental bondage, and handcuffs Jessie to the bedhead. This is not to Jessie's liking but before Gerald can uncuff her, he suffers a fatal heart attack. Jessie is cuffed to the bed in a deserted cabin. Deserted, that is, apart from the dog who is eating her husband's corpse. Oh, and the serial killer on the loose.The book, like Misery, takes part largely within the protagonist's head. This presents some problems in terms of adaptation: internal monologues are inherently uncinematic. But Gerald - or, rather, Jessie's personification of him - is given a solid role to play here, because Jessie is not just trapped by her cuffs. We learn that her past, including Gerald, but going back to her childhood also, have trapped her just as effectively as the ill-judged bondage game.And kudos to this film for including the eclipse sequence including the very detailed reference to events in King's linked novel Dolores Claiborne. This sequence is atmospheric, evocative, and necessary: the manipulative emotional blackmail of Jessie's father was, for me, the most horrifying element of a story which otherwise traded on Jessie's claustrophobic powerlessness.There is a little gore and some extremely offensive language, all of which is entirely appropriate. And for a story which is essentially a two-hander, but Carla Gugino and Bruce Greenwood are first rate.This is one of the better King adaptations.

A husband and wife retreat to their lake house in an attempt to repair a failing marriage. The husband's unusual desire to rekindle their bedroom life incapacitates the wife and upon his death, she finds herself in a life-or-death situation, alone. She takes days reliving her problematic past rather than devising some way to extricate herself from her immediate life-threatening situation. If you can get through some of the demented and sick family flashbacks regarding her father, then you'll be able to watch this film to completion.
