Anti-Valentine’s Day Classic: Misery15

Directed by Rob Reiner | USA | 1990 | 1h 47m | Starring Kathy Bates, James Caan, Richard Farnsworth, Frances Sternhagen, Lauren Bacall

After a devastating car crash, novelist Paul Sheldon is rescued by Annie Wilkes, a former nurse who claims to be his biggest fan. She takes him to her isolated cabin to recover, but her admiration soon turns into a dangerous obsession. As Sheldon secretly plans his escape, Annie becomes increasingly controlling, forcing him to rewrite his work to satisfy her disturbing fantasies. Featuring powerful performances by James Caan and Kathy Bates, and widely regarded as one of the strongest Stephen King film adaptations, Rob Reiner’s tense, claustrophobic thriller offers a chilling examination of toxic parasocial fandom.

Our beautiful art deco inspired auditorium can be found just off East Oxford's Cowley Road.We are open 7 days a week. We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We only show a few adverts – less than most cinemas – and we only play a couple of trailers, so please don’t be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
