 Secret Window Secret Window Quote: Secret Window is a 2004 psychological horror 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, 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. Underrated. It wasn't excellent, but certainly not bad, either. B

I really, really did not like this at all.
The acting was good but the whole tone of the film felt off to me. Then there's that trainwreck of an ending. D+

Loved this one. Johnny Depp is awesome. The crisp cinematography, great music, and great acting made it for me. I liked the ending.

It wasn't creepy, mysterious or any other thing it set out to be. It fell completely flat for every scene for me. Thank God for Johnny Depp who saves this from being complete crap. The ending was just horrendous, quite laughable actually! C-/D+

John Tuturro or however you spell it should not be allowed to EVER be a villain again.
PERIOD

I am a big Stepehen King fan and therefore might be a bit biased, but I really liked this movie. It certainly wasn't without its flaws and it could have used at least some suspense (which it lacked completely), but it was still a decent effort. The ending twist was somewhat predictable, but I loved how this movie had an evil ending for a change. They don't pull that off often in Hollywood. Johnny Depp is great as always and I thought John Turturro made a decent "villain". Maria Bello was pretty good as well. Interesting flick. I agree with Zing, it's a bit underrated.

I enjoyed this movie. Johnny Depp is great in almost everything he is in. It was not a master piece, but it was not shit either. Underrated like Zing said. B

Good ending, though I agree the ending was a bit much.

The ending is what really makes the movie.

Pretty Blah, this was the movie when the whole "its really me" thing was really starting to get very worn out, not Hide and seek bad though. Johnny Depp really didnt act that well, not that bad though. It wasnt really suspenseful, scary, or that involving, and Johnny Depp barking at the end was hysterical for me.
