It comes from the same place as the stories for "Misery" and "The Dark Half." Psychological thrillers about writers in peril. But the sillier and overstylized "Secret Window" misses the mark by a mile.

"This is not my beautiful house. This is not my beautiful wife. Anymore." Even when Johnny Depp is playing a character who on paper isn't anything else than just a normal guy, and yet, Depp still manages to bring some chaotic magic to it. John Turturro was also great in this.

As mentioned by other members, nothing special and the conclusion was predictable. Unfortunately the cast was underutilized and the premise somewhat average.

A menacing stranger appears on a writer's front doorstep and accuses him of plagiarizing his work, and things soon take a sinister turn in yet another adaptation of a Stephen King novel. Just what the world needs. Actually the ever watchable Depp heads a good cast and there are some nice directorial touches. Unsurprisingly all the flaws lie in the source material; anyone who has seen Angel Heart or Fight Club (ie virtually everybody) will see the twist coming a mile off, but it is executed with some style. Not bad.

Average thriller, with a predictable ending. The journey to the end was made better by Depp's performance.

Skillful build-up of tension is released by a silly "twist" ending that you can almost spot from a mile away. Scary and atmospheric first half, laughable second half.

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!
