Develiker terrible... so disappointed.

Thehibikiew Not even bad in a good way

Stephan Hammond It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Alex Jermova This movie is completely underrated. I haven't read the story by S.King but I sure feel compelled to now that I saw the movie. Let me say this: the movie might have some deficiencies and one or two little annoying things about the characters, but otherwise it was absolute pleasure to watch it. Because of the cinematography (the long moving shots of the beautiful house and the elaborate showcase of the writers den atmosphere), because of the story and the way it was told and directed, because the movie has an undoubtedly classic twist, but it really comes out of the blue until the last 20-30 min when skillfully we are being given some mild hints about what might actually be happening. But yet again, because the character of Mort was so elaborately constructed as the victim of both a crazy Mississippi guy who thinks his story got stolen, as well as a victim of his bitchy, cheating wife and her sleazy new boyfriend...it is so surprising to see how it all unfolds. I mean sure, as I already said the story is not THAT unique and original and the idea exist in other movies and books, but the merits of this movie are more in the atmosphere it creates. I don't know, but I just loved it! It had this cozy mysterious feeling to it and a deeply uncozy ending, which to some extend left a bitter taste in my mouth, not because it wasn't good, but because I didn't want it to be this way for Mort, because the movie made me feel for him and like him. Deffinatly deserves a watch on a cozy evening when you are in the mood for a small town mystery kind of story. Acting was pretty good, especially from good old Johhny Depp.

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.

SnoopyStyle Writer Mort Rainey (Johnny Depp) is struggling getting divorced from his wife Amy (Maria Bello) after she cheated with Ted (Timothy Hutton). He's alone in his remote cabin when mysterious stranger John Shooter (John Turturro) shows up. He accuses him of plagiarism and starts threatening him. Sheriff Dave Newsome is nonchalant. Mort hires private investigator Ken Karsch (Charles S. Dutton). He needs an old magazine to prove his case and then somebody burns down his house.This one is spooky without much intensity. Depp is playing normal and Turturro is doing super creepy southerner. There is obviously a twist coming and it becomes a waiting game for the movie to reveal it. The twist is good enough but it is barely a worthwhile wait.
