Summary
Happy Halloween Cine-Files and welcome to our annual "Scary Movie" this one does double duty as both a Halloween special and a tribute to the great James Caan. It also happens to be one of the most beautiful crafted films of the 90's. Misery, directed by Rob Reiner and starring James Caan and Kathy Bates is as simple as it is brilliant and definitely well worth a Cine-Files deep dive.
If you haven't seen this incredible film you can buy or stream it right here.
