All I can remember about this film, is this old man in a wheel chair and this young woman - I think she is trapped in a house with him and I think she stabbs him in the end - all I can remember Im afraid.

I believe you are thinking of Misery, based on the book by Stephen King. A woman named Annie saves a write (Paul Sheldon) after he gets in a car accident. But she ends up keeping him hostage in her house, and he eventually tries to escape.
That might be it?

No that's not the one - thanks anyway! I know "Misery" really well (Im a he King fan). But this film Im trying to find the name of, well all I can remember is that the guy in the wheelchair is the bad guy.

I doubt it was a joke...
In the new Texas chainsaw massacre there's that old guy in the house, and he's stuck in a wheel chair. And the main character is a young woman. And she is basically stuck there, as are the rest of her friends...
It's completely plausible.
