Re: Secret Window
 

lol i meant to put it this thread in the 'upcoming movies' forum

Johnny Depp is one of my favorite actors and I love horror movies so you can't go wrong here :).

It looks pretty cool. I'm looking forward to it.

Secret Window
 

I really don't know what to think about this movie. Johnny Depp was excellent as usual, definitely Stephen King Style all the way, but a little too much like the Dark Half only not as good!

I was kind of disappointed here!

The Dark Half explained a lot more about the characters in the movie. Anyone read this? Was originally The Secret Garden.

Actually, the original story was a novella titled "Secret Window, Secret Garden" in Four Past Midnight. I read it a long time ago, and nearly forgot about it. When I saw the preview to Secret Window, John Turturro's character saying "You stole my story" pricked something in the back of my mind. I turned to my wife and said: "I read that story somewhere. That's a story." So, I can't say how the movie compared. I really don't remember that much of the story. As far as the movie went, I was disappointed myself. I enjoyed Depp's performance, but I found it too predictable. There were no shocks, no thrills. Apart from Depp, I found the film to be quite the bore.

I haven't seen this movie yet, but I want to soon.

i was also a bit dissapoitned with the film, altho you gotta admit the ending scene where he took a bite out of the corn was great!

I read that book a long time ago! No wonder I kept getting deja vu through the whole thing! I really can't recall it though, and this is one of the few I don't own.

And it was boring, my husband was asleep after the first half hour!
