Secret Window, 2004

Borrowed this DVD from the local library, I never thought that it was a Stephen King's movie until much later. Johnny Depp played the role of the unhappy writer who lost his wife to someone else very well. Not only that, he was being bothered by a persistent and creepy person, who kept annoying him, accusing him of stealing his novel.

You would sympathise right at once with this writer, who just lost his wife, and who still tried to get over his break-up at an isolated place, far away from his old home.

You would want to be with him all the way, to give him at least, your spiritual support, while he tried to cope with all the new changes of his life, with being stalked about by a creepy and dangerous person...

but hang on there, how if he was not truly being stalked by anyone at all, and that all the killings, violence and misdeeds happened, were all done by him, the writer himself?

I think the movie was quite a success, in having a very twisted and surprised ending!
