A “heart-stopping psychological thriller” (Joel Siegel), this Academy Award-Winning filmis “one of the best” (Time) horror movies ever. Adapted from a Stephen King story, this unforgettable film will draw you into a 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. All he remembers is waking up in the home of Annie Wilkes (Kathy Bates) – a maniacal fan who is bent on keeping her favorite writer as her personal prisoner...for the rest of his “cock-a-doodie” life!
