    Listening to the audiobook of “Secret Window, Secret Garden,” a truly cursed King story in that the film stars Johnny Depp as a lazy creative who wishes his ex-wife was dead— and in that the audiobook is narrated by James Woods. 💀

    I will take The Mist to my grave as the most I've enjoyed a movie until the absurd last 10 minutes, but Secret Window (remember that? J Depp as -haha- a dangerous sociopath in a relationship 😅) tried to make a meal out of a short story's worth of material and one obvious twist, which...did not work

    SECRET WINDOW, SECRET GARDEN - STEPHEN KING Much better than I remember the film being. I often find that the unreliable narrator trope can easily fall flat, but this one didn't. John Shotter got really under my skin, but Mort isn't exactly a shining star either. Good fun!

    Secret Window (2004) Owning a DVD copy of this film is deadass a time capsule, since Spider-Man 2 was among the ads played slated for a theatrical june 25th release. The film itself is your usual Stephen King flair and a slow descent into madness. Plagiarism was not a serious issue back in 2004.

    What’s your favorite line of movie dialogue? For me, it’s in Secret Window when John Turturro says, “I will burn your life and every person in it like a cane field in a high wind.” It’s just so evocative and frightening. He does a great job in this movie omg. #JohnTurturro #SecretWindow #Movies

    It was a collection of short stories that I found at a thrift store called Four Past Midnight. I was really obsessed with the movie Secret Window at the time, so I was really excited to find the book it was based on. The other three stories in it were pretty good too, especially the Langoliers ^⁠_⁠^

    Secret Window, 2004. Went with Mom while we were visiting her hometown, DC. The audience figured out immediately that this movie was shit and did their thing. "how'd you get a rip THERE?" shouted a woman when Depp appeared wearing a robe with a tear on the back. I remember thinking yeah, how?

    The American remake of "The Grudge" - highlight of the movie is Bill Pullman's unintentionally hilarious balcony dive at the start of the film. "Secret Window" was pretty bad, right up until the squirrel reaction shot when I realized "Oh, this tone is on purpose." Then it became kind of fun.
