Mort Rainey, a successful author, is passing through a hard period in his life. After catching his wife sleeping with another man, they separate and he moves away from the city to somewhere in the country. One day a man appears at his door, presenting himself as John Shooter, and accuses Mort of copying a story from him. Although Mort believes things can be solved once he shows Shooter the origin... al version, which had appeared two years before Shooter's version, written in 1997, while Rainey's was published in early 1995. He can't seem to be able to get an original copy in the time limit set by Shooter. Strange things then start happening that prevent him from receiving the needed original, and Mort tries to find out who Shooter really is and if he is responsible for the things that have been happening.

Heeeeeeeere's Johnny!
I'd tend to agree with what many people have already said; this film is good, but it doesn't quite invoke the sense of horror that it should, or that you expect. It's not a great translation from King's novel, but it a long way off being a bad film.

That's plenty, but still leaves a fair few originals untapped and so begs the question why a tale as second-hand as his novella 'Secret Window, Secret Garden' has been selected. When even classic books like 'Pet Sematary', 'The Stand' and 'It' have been horrifical...

Johnny Depp is a great actor, and he proves it in this film. It is a teeny bit slow moving but the build up works with that..the plot is good..the creepiness is good. Just a little slow paced is all. 8/10
