Un thriller agradablemente anticuado, que fluye armoniosamente y que mata su truculento clímax. La gran sorpresa ahora es solo un cliché trillado que no funciona en absoluto en el contexto de la historia anterior.

An excellent Johnny Depp, as usual, an impressive atmosphere and a visible effort to prepare the viewer for the final "shocking" twist, which is supposed to be the main star of the whole story. The conclusion, however, is far from imaginative and surprising, and Stephen King absolutely failed to handle it as expected. As a result, David Koepp could have tried his best, but wouldn’t have saved this predictable and bland tale anyway.

The excellent Johnny Depp in a slightly above average adaptation of King’s short novella Secret Window, Secret Garden. Everything goes perfectly until Koepp begins to play around and totally revamps the whole ending of the movie. I still don’t know why he did it. Because in his novella, King replaced cliché with a surprising outcome and so the punchline is completely elsewhere. Too bad, it was a good attempt.

Even ignoring my aversion towards Johnny Depp, Secret Window is nothing but an average thriller. I didn’t feel any atmosphere, only the maniac played by John Turturro was unsettling in a proper King fashion. The twist is so uninteresting these days that it’s not even worth saying anything else about it. I was actually ashamed that I didn’t figure it out after a couple of minutes. The ending, on the other hand, was nice. Mixed 6/10.

Decent adaptation of Stephen King's literary original, relying on the excellent acting of Johnny Depp. Although it doesn't belong to the top of the genre due to the average script, it will get a nice 70% of the overall impression from me. The twist is predictable, but the film manages to maintain its atmosphere almost until the very end, and several scenes have their own charming King-esque vibe.
