Secret Window (2004)
This is one of my favorite Johnny Depp movies. Don't get me wrong, I love almost all of his extremely over the top characters. He is a genius and I can only hope one day he will actually get an Oscar. He is by far one of the best actors ever. His versatility is indescribable. But what I like about this movie is that this guy is 'normal'. Now, I say 'normal' with the quotes because this is based on a Stephen King novella...therefore you know that this character really isn't 'normal'.
This movie has your basic premise...guy and girl are married. Guy is a writer. Guy catches girl with another guy. But...on top of all that, the guy has a crazy stalker who claims that the guy stole a story from him.
The twists are definitely there...and while this isn't The Shining (more to come later this month), it has its suspenseful moments as well. Its not a true horror movie in the same sense, but the ending will keep you pumping. The clever twists at the end are great...though you are sitting there going 'is this possible' and 'why didn't this happen sooner'?
PS...John Turturro is GREAT in this movie as well. So good!
Overall, this movie has what you want: suspense, action, thrills, chills, humor, etc. I hope you enjoy it, if you haven't seen it. So...check it out!
