Bring a blanket and tuck into one of Zoe’s comfy seats with a bowl of soup and a hot cocktail as we screen the snowbound, Oscar-winning thriller Misery (1990). Directed by Rob Reiner, Misery is probably the coziest scary movie ever made — and widely praised as one the finest Stephen King film adaptations.
A novelist (James Caan) is rescued from a blizzard and nursed back to health by an obsessively devoted fan (Kathy Bates, who won Best Actress at the 1991 Academy Awards for this performance). Largely set inside a remote Colorado farmhouse, it’s the rare film that can simultaneously keep you snug as a bug in a rug AND at the edge of your seat.
