You know those scenes in thrillers or horror films when help finally arrives, lulling the audience into a false sense of hope, only for the filmmakers to kill off that hope in abject cynicism? In The Shining, Stanley Kubrick goes through the trouble of letting us get attached to Dick Hallorann (Scatman Crothers), a would-be savior, before Jack hacks him with an axe. In Misery, Richard Farnsworth'sSheriff John T. Buster McCain is brutally slain by deranged superfan Annie Wilkes (Kathy Bates), just at the moment he might free author Paul Sheldon (James Cann).
