Secret Window Audience Reviews

Evengyny Thanks for the memories!
Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.
Console best movie i've ever seen.
Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
adonis98-743-186503 A writer is accused of plagiarism by a strange man, who then starts haunting him for "justice." Secret Window is surrounded by a lot of mystery and suspense and of course Johnny Depp is excellent in the leading role, personally i don't understand why people hated this film because the 3rd act was actually well played and well acted and it almost gave me some Shining and Psycho vibes. Of course the film has it's fair share of flaws mostly with it's pacing, the ending could have been a bit better in my opinion and some characters don't get a lot of development but other than that this is a very good and well made thriller with a great performance by Depp and if you're open minded you might actually enjoy it. (8/10)
katherinehart This movie, I have to say, is the best movie I have ever seen. It's one of those movies that makes you think you know how it is going to end, but then it gives you a curve ball you never. even. expected. "You see, the only thing that matters is the ending. It's the most important part of the story, the ending. And this one... is very good." -Mort Rainey (Secret Window 2004)It may seem confusing for a while, but you might have to watch it twice before you can understand it. This movie has been my favorite for years now, and I watch it every chance I get. I really wish this movie was more known and recognized by people... you have these amazing actors like Johnny Depp, Timothy Hutton, Mariah Bellow, and John Tuturro, yet there are few people who can say they've heard of Secret Window.I have recommended this movie to literally all of my friends and they fell in love with it. This is literally the most amazing movie ever.
leitner-h Secret Window is a 2004 American psychological thriller film starring Johnny Depp and John Turturro. It was written and directed by David Koepp, based on the novella Secret Window, Secret Garden by Stephen King,[1] featuring a musical score by Philip Glass and Geoff Zanelli. The story appeared in King's collection Four Past Midnight. The film was released on March 12, 2004, by Columbia Pictures, and was a modest box office success despite receiving mixed reviews from critics.Johnny Depp as Morton "Mort" Rainey / John Shooter John Turturro as "John Shooter" Maria Bello as Amy Rainey Timothy Hutton as Ted "Teddy" Milner Len Cariou as Sheriff Dave Newsome Charles S. Dutton as Private Investigator Ken Karsch John Dunn Hill as Tom Greenleaf Chico as himselfMy short Review: best script! great actor! nothing more to say -> love this movie.
Terryfan After seeing "S.W.A.T." that was my last movie that I saw at the theater before in 2004 I went and saw Secret Window. And it's one of the films I never forgot how everyone in the theater reacted After seeing the TV Spots for weeks and weeks it was build up to be a film that was going to be one of the biggest of 2004 and with the cast and that the story was inspired by Stephen King who is perhaps the best horror story tellers ever how could it go wrong?Well sadly it turn out to be a film that leaves confuse and shocked that's for sure. With casting Johnny Depp as Mort Rainey and he did a good performance and John Turturro as John Shooter and he shows he can do more than just comedy films as he brought a lot evil and mystery to his character. Maria Bello plays Amy Rainey and she does what she has to do in the film. The film also cast Timothy Hutton, Charles S.Dutton, Len Carious The plot of the film didn't reveal itself from the trailer which helps me with the shocked and mystery factor that is what you get with the film.The cast did performance very well which is one of the strong points of the movie also the score sends a chill up and down your spine What I am disappointed about this film is some of the plot could have been better but other than that you should expect nothing less from Stephen King the man who never had a normal thought in his life which is scary on it own. If I have to best describe the film is a miss and hit it does have some good performances and scare factors which is more shocking when you watch the film if you are a fan of mystery or Mr.King then you will be for a treat with this film. It just has some mix reaction at best but never the less it was a interesting film I give Secret Window an 7 out of 10
