Watch Secret Window For Free

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

The fact that "Secret Window" is based on a Stephen King novella means that it should succeed. However, we have all seen cases where this is not the case. Thankfully, after the first scene of the film, where Mort Rainey (Johnny Depp) opens the door to find John Shooter (John Turturro) drawling his iconic "you stole mah story", one can tell that this one was made correctly.For a basic plot summary, "Secret Window" sees Rainey, a once-successful writer now struggling with the bottle and loneliness after divorcing wife Amy (Maria Bello), accused of plagiarism by Mr. Shooter, who goes on to torment the people involved in Rainey's life as Rainey himself tries to set the record straight.At its simplest common denominator, this is a great film because King is an incredible storyteller. This is such a compelling & mysterious tale that one cannot helped but be sucked into the many different angles of the rich plot line. Kudos must be given to director David Koepp for making sure all those elements are portrayed as well on the screen as they were on the printed page.The acting is also top-notch in this film, with Rainey & Bello having great chemistry as a divorcing couple trying to figure out what the heck is happening to each other. Turturro, however, almost completely steals the show with his "Shooter" performance, creating one of the creepier characters ever to appear on film.Overall, then, "Secret Window" is an all-time great movie for fans of mystery & psychological thrillers. From the intriguing beginning to the astounding ending, this movie is one that will have you fully invested in the entire experience.

This is a rubbishy, cheesy B-movie that attempts to ride on the coat-tails of other 'twist' ending movies like THE MACHINIST and FIGHT CLUB, borrowing liberally from those two movies without ever taking itself seriously enough to be effective. As a result the film is goofy and predictable throughout, hindered by another 'kooky' turn from the increasingly stale Johnny Depp, and a script that spoon-feds the story to mindless viewers in an attempt to pull the rug out from under their feet. The problem is that the twist becomes startlingly obvious about ½ way through the film and the final scenes, while attempting to portray psychological disturbance, end up more like a silly rerun of the Michael Keaton flick MULTIPLICITY than the serious drama that they want to be.While Depp is boring, he's supported by a lot of decent actors. John Turturro makes for a suitably imposing bad guy and Charles S. Dutton, well he brings the screen to life as always. One of my favourite performances comes from Timothy Hutton, whose presence is a nod to another Stephen King adaptation, THE DARK HALF, in which he starred. The only bad thing is that he serves as a reminder that even this King novella is a rubbishy, half-developed version of an altogether better book and better film. Meanwhile, the less said about the disappointing Maria Bello, the better.While this film does start off quite well – despite the predictably of yet ANOTHER King offering with a weirdo writer as the leading character – things fall apart so badly as the story progresses. David Koepp, reasonably efficient in the past, lets the cabin-in-the-woods setting get to his head and poorly experiments with camera angles in an attempt to recreate the success of THE EVIL DEAD. There's a ludicrous rip on THE SHINING at the film's climax and, while it deserves kudos for going through with a murder that I thought it never would, it's clear that this should have had a harder rating, with severed heads and arterial blood to add to the horror aspect. As it is, the horror is lukewarm and rehashed, and aside from one good car-over-the-cliff scene, it sucks.

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.

My brother forced me to watch this movie with him, and this was one of the worst movies ever.Very boring. In the movie they say that the ending is the most important.But the way the movie ended was disgusting.Even my brother who thought that was a great movie based on IMDb user reviews, apologized to me because he also thought that was a very bad movie.Johny Depp should suicide for this bad movie.Very bad acting, and a very boring character.So boring + Very bad ending =0/10
