Secret Window (2004) – An Adaptation of Stephen King’s Novella
An adaptation of Stephen King’s novella of the same name, the Johnny Depp starrer Secret Window is an average thriller in a predictable sequence of events.

Don’t Blink (2014) – One vanishes as other blinks
I guess this is one of the finest supernatural thrillers I have watched in recent times. The idea of horror movies is to make us aware of the fear inside us by bringing us to face some unknown entity or supernatural power, but not necessarily a ghost or some weird looking stuff. Don’t Blink is […]
