September 22, 2009I loved the King book that it was taken from but unfortunately this is a weak adaptation.

July 27, 2009I have always wanted to see Secret Window; when a movie has such varied and mixed reviews it is always intriguing to see the movie itself and find out which side of the line you sit on. I recently viewed Secret Window with a friend from the safety of my own home. It's only a shor...( read more)

January 22, 2009From Stephen King's short story, Secret Window was a surprisingly enjoyable movie - I'm not sure if it was "good" or not, though. Personally, I readily connect with the frustrated writer figure, and the film's early-going was just more than enough to keep me interested. Then it s...( read more)

December 22, 2008"The most important part of a story is the ending."
From writer/director David Koepp (Stir of Echoes) comes this filmed adaptation of Stephen King's novella Secret Window, Secret Garden, one of four stories in the collection Four Past Midnight. Johnny Depp stars as Mort...( read more) -
December 21, 2008I wasn't expecting this ending. Johnny Depp plays a writer with severe writer's block. Some help in unblocking him suddenly presents itself.

November 16, 2009It's actually one of the best Stephen King stories in the fact that it's actually different than his other typical works.

Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com
The story is so basic that it makes a fine template for an exercise in style, and Koepp layers on the details with great relish. full review

Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
[Depp] turns Secret Window into a pleasantly show-offy showcase for his own charisma. full review
March 12, 2004
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
An eerie, playful thriller and an all-around entertaining time at the movies. full review
March 12, 2004
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Somewhere in the middle of [King's] range storywise, and toward the top in Depp's performance. full review
March 11, 2004
Claudia Puig, USA Today
A potent psychological thriller bolstered by strong performances and an offbeat sense of humor. full review

Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune
Hitchcock would have loved it. full review

August 29, 2009Very good! I didn't read the book but I like the movie without doubt. And Johnny Depp is great, he's such a good actor, one of my favourites.
The twist in the end is very good, really surprising. It's a little like Hide & Seek.
Recommend for thriller fans! -
