The adaptation of Stephen King's beloved book Misery is often considered to be one of the best horror movies, as the psychological game between Annie Wilkes (Kathy Bates) and Paul Sheldon (James Caan) is fascinating. It's definitely a classic for a reason and even if there are other films about hostages, this one feels fresh no matter when people watch it. In 2020, the thriller Run was released and moviegoers and critics immediately compared it to Misery as the main character keeps her daughter captive and swears that it's for her own good.
