    The last movie I can remember turning off intentionally was Misery, because it was too intense. This is weird because I love a lot of gory and brutal horror, like Bone Tomahawk was absolutely a fun ride! This one was just a bit to real and grounded. When Kathy Bates was about the break his legs the anticipation was just too much and I turned it off.

    I watched that at school, definitely not my best memory. That story is really horrifying

      I read the book back in the 90s and didn’t try to watch the movie until a couple years ago because I just didn’t believe it could live up to the book despite the critical acclaim that the movie has.

      Holy hell it was right on track up to the point I stopped and I assume it stayed faithful for the rest.

        If memory serves, in the movie she only breaks his ankles with a sledgehammer instead of cutting off his foot (feet?).

          I would call that a minor difference that was necessary for the adaptation at that time. Same end result of being unable to walk.
