Misery (1990)
This review is going to be a little different. In honor of throw back Thursday, and I was reminded of this movie after watching The Walking Dead episode 3 season 6 "where Glenn falls into the Zombie mosh pit by the garbage bin."
**On a personal note my fiancee and daughters we in hysterics when this happened, and that wasn't even the end of the episode!! Thank you Scott M Gimple; not!**
With all the shady goings on pertaining to Glenn's apparent death, (see spoilers below if you must) it reminded me of this movie.
I have read the book at least 3 times, seen the movie at least as many times, so watching it again was not a hard decision.
Now this is a thriller, and could almost be a cabin in the woods style flick, there are really not a lot of actors or effects, it is an old school crazy ass tale about a writer and his #1 fan.
It is not a hacker, slasher, scary jump out of the dark and stab you in the face movie, it is a tense uneasy film where you as the viewer try to imagine what you would or could do if you were screwed like the protagonist.
I enjoyed the actors, sets, and dialogue; they were directed together to give this film an eerie something isn't right vibe that just keeps climbing till you know shit is bad and now what are you gonna do about it!!
An easy 4 stars out of 5, recommendation for anyone who likes that uneasy queasy feeling.
Until next time everybody, remember, Protect Your Privates.
**
-Bad camera angle on death scene
-No memoriam on the talking dead
-Called Rick "dumbass" a reference to the first season where they first met, which is also the season that Rick and Glenn use "Zombie camo" to walk past zombies.
