Secret Window

"The only thing that matters is the ending."
That phrase is used quite a bit in Secret Window, and let me tell you, it's so true. Now, if you don't already know, Secret Window is based on a novella by Stephen King called Secret Window, Secret Garden. I read the novella before the film came out, and strangely, I was disappointed with the ending. After seeing the film version, I can actually admit to enjoying the movie more than the book. The ending of the film version is a thousand times better than the book's ending. As a rabid, yes I said rabid, fan of Johnny Depp, I was thrilled to see him doing a Stephen King film. Anyway, Secret Window is about a man who discovers his wife is cheating on him and they get divorced. He moves to his cabin on the lake in the middle of the woods to try and start writing again. One day, a man shows up on his doorstep and accuses him of stealing his story. All hell breaks loose as Mort(Johnny's character) tries to figure out who this other man is and why he's accusing him of plagarizing a story. When the truth comes out, it will shock you. I enjoyed this movie immensely and as I stated before, then ending was truly the best part. Much better than the book. If you haven't seen it or read it, you really do need to. I give this one a 5 out of 5. Definitely a must see.

Happy Nightmares, my loves.
