Misery
(1990)

Anthony Arrigo

Firmly anchored by an Academy Award-winning performance from Kathy Bates, Misery is a lengthy exercise in tension that builds and builds until arriving at an explosive climax that gives viewers the catharsis they have waited 100 minutes to receive.

Piranha II: The Spawning

None of the ingenuity and style for which Cameron is known can be seen in Piranha II, and the final product more closely resembles the aquatic horror of Tentacles (1977), another Assonitis film.
