Product Description

Amazon.ca

Scénariste de quelques-uns des plus grands succès d’Hollywood (Mission impossible, Le Parc jurassique), David Koepp se lance pour la quatrième fois dans la réalisation en s’appuyant sur une valeur sûre : l’adaptation d’une nouvelle de Stephen King : Secret Window, Secret Garden. Un making-of, 4 scènes supprimées et un story-board animé complètent le DVD.

Mort Rainey est un écrivain de romans policiers à succès. Mais son divorce doublé d’une panne d’inspiration le conduit à vivre reclus dans son chalet au fond des bois. Jusqu’à ce qu’un homme, John Shooter, frappe à sa porte en l’accusant de plagiat.

Efficace, Fenêtre secrète applique consciencieusement, mais de façon parfois un peu convenue, la recette du thriller en introduisant habilement quelques coups de stress et en nous faisant partager l’angoisse de son personnage principal. Plus proche néanmoins de Misery (Rob Reiner) que de Shining (Stanley Kubrick), le film explore une des plus fréquentes préoccupations de King : les démons intérieurs de l’écrivain. Jouant avec nos nerfs et profitant de l’interprétation ironique de Johnny Depp et de celle, inquiétante, de John Turturro, le film tire également une certaine qualité esthétique de ses décors lumineux, tournés dans le Québec automnal. Comptant sur un rebondissement final inattendu et intéressant, Fenêtre secrète fait partie de ces films parfaits pour jouer à se faire peur. – Helen Faradji

3.0 out of 5 stars Saw It In Theaters, Jun 29 2004
This review is from: Secret Window (DVD)
Trust me, it was a lot more impressive there. My mom picked the DVD up a couple days ago because I said to her I enjoyed it. After seeing the movie again, things are so predictable and boring. Maybe it is because I had seen it already, but I could not get back into the movie. I geuss this is one of those films where one viewing is good enough.

2.0 out of 5 stars Worse than I thought...and my sights were set low., Jun 28 2004

This review is from: Secret Window (DVD)
I wasn't really expecting much from this film, judging from the tepid previews. But being a very big fan of director-writer David Koepp's other projects, I at least thought it just might surpass my hopes and surprise me. Wrong!!!

Why was this predictable, simple-minded Stephen King story produced as a movie? The first thing any intelligent person watching it will realize that the hick-character of "Shooter" (John Turturro) could not POSSIBLY be the writer he claims to be, and Rainey (Johnny Depp) is far too bright not to realize this from the outset. Then there's the age-old suspense film question: why doesn't the protagonist just LEAVE??? To make an audience buy into the victim's inablity to behave with plain old common sense, the suspense-horror genre requires strong writing, acting, and direction to make it believable. Koepp missed the boat this time.

You can figure out the plot of this turkey in the first 45 minutes, guaranteed.

4.0 out of 5 stars Depp brings us into the world of Mort Rainey, Jun 2 2004
By 
Michael Bolts (superior, wiusa) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Secret Window (VHS Tape)
Johnny Depp plays Mort Rainey to the till. This movie is based on Stephen King's story. Depp is a retired writer and who is also divorced from Maria Bello who is seeing Timothy Hutton. At the beginning Depp finds them in the hotel. A stranger called Shooter played with real southern brass by John Tuturro comes and tells Rainey he stold his story. Rainey doesnt believe him till he kills his dog. It goes on and it's serious this time and things happen and the end is just great. It's a shocker of a mystery. Depp brings yet again another chacter to his bag of fun. Highlight would be of course Depp's secret at the end. I dont see why he had to have the braces. Charles S. Dutton also stars. Dutton also starred in Nick Of Time with Depp back in '95, so their old buddies. This will add good to my collection. Check it out Depp fans
