Best-selling novelist Paul Sheldon is on his way home from his Colorado hideaway after completing his latest book, when he crashes his car in a freak blizzard. Paul is critically injured, but is rescued by former nurse Annie Wilkes, Paul's "number one fan", who takes Paul back to her remote house in the mountains (without bothering to tell anybody). Unfortunately for Paul, Annie is also a headcase. When she discovers that Paul has killed off the heroine in her favorite novels, her reaction leaves Paul shattered (literally)... —Andrew Backhouse (andback74)

Fans.... Who needs 'em!
A real classic. This film has all the ingredients - a great story, fine casting, and pace.
Still shocks after three decades. This intelligently crafted piece shows exactly what sharp directing and crisp cinematography can do - even more so in an age before the onset of over the top CGI. A must have in the horror section.....
