It is indeed one of the most horrifying, thrilling, mind-fucking movies I've seen in a while. It's based on a Stephen King novel of the same name, and it's about a writer (James Caan) who is rescued by an obsessed fan (Kathy Bates) after a car accident.
She appears to be nursing him back to health at first, but after a while it is clear that he isn't getting any better, and that she has a psychotic and aggressive personality problem. She is FUCKED. I haven't been this terrified of Kathy Bates since I saw her naked in About Schmidt.
And look how terrified James Caan is...
The worst scene for me is when she "teaches him a lesson" for escaping from his room.

| First she straps him to the bed |
 |
| Then she fits this block of wood between his ankles. |

| She explains that she is going to do something called "Hobbling" to him. |

| Then she bashes both his ankles like this! |
I was dry-heaving, crying and laughing at this scene. It is terrifiing for the more squirmish of us.
Basically, she is a crazed bitch and he is super chilled throughout the movie, which is funny, and it's very nicely done.
There is an Indian remake of the movie called Julie Ganapathy, and a newer Hollywood remake with Mischa Barton called Homecoming. It looks kak.
