Secret Window

This is about a published writer, Mort Rainy (Johnny Depp), who is threatened by a guy called John Shooter, who claims that Rainy plagiarised his story: Secret Window. He leaves HIS story, whihc HE wrote, on his doorstep, for Mort to see, and after reading it, he realizes that it is exactly the same as his story, even though he didn't plagiarise it. After finding his dog, a witness who saw John with Mort, and Mort's bodyguard dead, he realizes it is serious. But then killing his wife (they were in the process of getting a divorce), and her new boyfriend, you find that Shooter is him. He is Schitzophrenic.

This was quite a simple film, in a way, because it basically went round in circles. But I loved the ending, it was really good. I didn't really appreciate seeing Mort's dog in such a...

The Secret Window Movie Review

Warning Contains Spoiler

The Secret Window Review


Beautifully written and directed by the great David Koepp The Secret window has finally been produced into a full length feature film. Based off the spooky and intense novel by the horrific mastermind better know as Stephen King, this movie will keep your mind busy from the moment the movie begins to a few days later when you are still sorting it out.

Filled with twits and turns the movie is a nice alternative to extremely graphic and horrific physiological thrillers.
The director does a great job enchaining the movie with simple techniques. K...

Decent Movie

The Secret Window is an interesting movie that is fun to watch despite its lack of thrill and suspense. The movie is about a mid-aged writer, Mort Rainey, who believes that he is being stalked and harassed by a crazy fan. The crazy fan calls himself Shooter and attempts to scare Mort into changing the ending of his book, which he believes Mort stole from him. The ending of the movie is clever and helps the viewer to understand a lot about the movie when you find out that the main character, Mort, has schizophrenia and “is” Shooter.

As far as plots go, Secret Window has a decent one. The story carries itself well and keeps the viewer engaged and thinking. Some moments of the film are semi-scary, however the writer could have done a much better job “scaring” the audience with more...

Disappointing!

Stephen King and Johnny Depp--two of my favourites and yet I can only give this movie 1.5. It seemed very cliche, like every other horror movie and the ending wasn't really as shocking as it was meant to be. I watched it once and I'm not exactly falling over myself to watch it again!
