: Secret Window
Author: Stephen King (book)
A nice little Stephen King story about a writer going mad as his life falls apart (he’s in the middle of a divorce). It all begins when a stranger appears accusing the guy of plagerism, and then bad things begin to happen, like his dog being killed. As the stakes go up, intensity does as well, and the twisted ending is very cool. Johnny Depp, as the writer, is the best thing about the movie, giving a fantastic performance. He’s a bit bizarre, a bit quirky, and yet still likable. Unfortunately, the film isn’t perfect: the first half is slow, with not much happening, but once it gets going, it goes fast, and the ending is excellent. One of the best things is that the ending just ends; there’s no series of silly red herring endings Hollywood seems to like so much. Good film.
