Dutton. Following a bitter separation from his wife (Bello), famed mystery writer Mort Rainey (Depp) is unexpectedly confronted at his remote lake house by a dangerous stranger named John Shooter (Turturro). Claiming Rainey has plagiarized his short story, the psychotic Shooter demands justice. When Shooter's demands turn to threats - and then murder - Rainey turns to a private detective (Dutton) for help. But when nothing stops the horror from spiraling out of control, Rainey soon discovers he can't trust anyone or anything.

Ratings and reviews

OK thriller film, you can probably guess the ending, the only thing I remember from this film is "you stole my story". Lol that makes me laugh to this day and I would watch the whole film just to hear that line.

People have divided opinions over this because it's quite cliché but personally I loved it!

Another excellent movie from Stephen King, master of horror, keeps very close to the short story too.
