[Stingy Jack]

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.
