Movie review by Dunya Hopefulsoul
Mort Rainey is a writer just leaving behind a messy divorce and
mental problems. He goes to his cabin to work and hide himself away,
trying to write yet another book, when along comes this older fellow,
knocking on his door. When he confronts him, the man tells him that
he has plagiarized his story and he demands that he basically fix the
problem or else! Mort tells the man that it is bs, and orders a
magazine with the original story in it. Mort(Depp) finds himself
stalked at his remote lake house. Told to rewrite the ending of his
own story. Well the story was never rewritten, but it was played out.
You do see him carry on a conversation with himself a few times, which led me to think split personality. Well I was right.
I think Secret Window is a better book than movie. There is really
nothing wrong with this film, but unfortunately, there's nothing
overly scary, or creepy enough, or memorable about it either.
I didn't like Tim Hutton, just too weak of an actor I think. Perhaps
this movie should have stayed a book. It was a movie that I had to watch again, just to get where things came in. If you rent this one make sure your not tired, it starts off slow.
Until next time...
Blessed Be,
Dunya
