2) Secret Window (2004)
The movie kicks off with a moody setup. Mort Rainey is a lonely, struggling writer who’s accused of stealing someone else’s story. It does a good job of building tension as Mort’s paranoia grows, and the quiet setting adds to the unease. The story loses its punch when it’s revealed that the villain is just a split personality. It feels like a shortcut, especially since the film spends so much time planting seeds for something bigger. A better ending might have left Mort’s mental state open to interpretation, making viewers question whether he was insane or being framed by someone real.
