Like a hybrid of "Sunset Boulevard" and "Misery," but not as good as "Sunset Boulevard" and only ten million times better than "Misery." 12 years 7 months ago

Good movie. Overall a little slow moving but not boring in any way. What frustrated me about this film that made it good and not great was how easy it was for Jane to trick people and abuse her sister without people questioning anything.
Like when her sister calls the doctor and says that there is something wrong with Jane, please come and all she had to was call the doctor back to cancel his visit, was too easy. If I was a doctor I would super suspicious of why she changed her mind and would have still wanted to come and check on Blanche at the very least. Or when she gets money out fo the sisters account. Just made me frustrated as it seemed too easy. Or how she would always come back in time to stop anything that was happening when people tried to help the sister.
. But it is a minor issue for a good movie with great acting. 7 years 2 months ago

Glad I'm not alone in this Misery-Sunset thought.
But for me, nothing tops a crazed Kathy Bates. To each his own, I suppose. 12 years ago
