Based on a Stephen King novel about a popular author who gets stranded in a remote town and needs to be cared for by an obsessed fan.

A real crowd-pleaser and probably will be for many years to come. Acclaimed performances and a suspenseful, eerie script will thrill fans of suspense/horror flicks. Made Bates a star.

Directed by Rob Reiner.

Academy Award for Best Actress (Bates).
