A middle aged couple go away for the weekend to spice up their marriage. Whilst reinacting one of Gerald's fantasys, Jessie asks him to stop which makes him angry, has a heart attack and dies, leaving Jessie handcuffed to the bed unable to move. Stuck with nothing but a dog eating her husband and figments of her imagination for company, she must fight for survival.
When I first saw the trailer I expected it to be one of those single character movies, so I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't like that at all. I found the storyline interesting and well played out, I also liked that there was a small backstory to Jessie's childhood.
Admittedly, until it was mentioned in the end credits I had no idea it was based on a Stephen King book. This really shocked me as i would have never guessed. It's still a good movie though and now going to have to find and read the book.
