Secret Window

CriticsCritics: 46
AudienceAudience: 6.6

A successful writer, reeling from a painful divorce, retreats to his remote lake house. There, a menacing stranger accuses him of stealing a story and demands proof of authorship, forcing the isolated writer to investigate the claim while his grip on reality becomes increasingly uncertain.

My take

You may enjoy this if you like tense, isolated psychological mysteries such as The Others or Dream House; Not for you if you need airtight explanations, consistently strong pacing, or a highly original payoff.
