One of the reasons King gives us in the interview, Why We Want Horror Movies, is that we want horror movies because they make us feel normal. Like in “Amelia,” not everyone can say they had to fight a knife-wielding doll with the spirit of a hunter. We feel normal because this problem has nothing to do with our lives. Our daily problems and situations seem normal and simple compared to a doll trying to kill you in your house. In Misery, it's the same case. Paul fights to survive in the home of a psychopathic fan. Most of us aren't famous, so we don't have to deal with fans who are too passionate about us. The film leaves us with the feeling of relief that we are not famous and that this situation is not a possibility for us. Another reason King gives us is that we crave that roller coaster ride of intrigue. For example, Amelia catches the doll with a blanket and tries to drown it, but it escapes, she tries to trap it in a suitcase, but it makes a hole in the suitcase, she also tries to take the knife away from it, but she fights as she gets the knife back. In the end, after trying to kill him in the oven, she ends up possessed by the doll, calling her mother and telling her, "It's Amelia, Mom." I'm sorry for acting the way I did. I think we should spend the evening together... just like we planned. But it's a little late. Why don't you come to my house and we'll leave here? No, I'm fine! GOOD. I’ll wait for you” to lure her mother home. In “Amelia,” when it seems like the main character is winning, she ends up losing. Then, in Misery, there are points where we think Paul is going to escape, but Annie is, intentionally or not, a step ahead. For example, Paul puts his painkillers and puts the powder in an envelope, so that when he has dinner with her, he puts the powder in her drink, but she ends up spilling it.
