Secret window question.
vdolt
cell rang and I had to leave.
Can someone tell me how it ends?
I left when Depp, started chasing his wife with the scissors.
I would really, really appreciate this!
I have spent hour and half watching it and don't even know the end.
Thanks.

Mort Rainey kills Ted with a shovel, then he goes on to
kill Amy, his wife in the backyard. Of course, he is no
longer Mort Rainey when he does this, he is John Shooter,
his alter-ego. The scene then cuts to several days later, as
Mort Rainey enters the local town store (wearing braces
on his teeth...???...) and talks to the post office girl. From her
reaction and the reactions of the people in the store, you can
tell that they all suspect that he killed his wife, her lover, and
Tom and the PI in the truck, although no one can prove it yet.
The sheriff, (the one with arthritis) then visits Mort Rainey's house
warning him to never enter town again. Even though no one has
any evidence against Mort, they all suspect he is a murderer.
As the sheriff leaves Mort's house, you see Mort working on the ending
to his book, (or reworking the ending to Secret Window), and he
says the ending to his book is perfect. The camera then zooms past
Mort at his desk working on the word processor to pass through
the secret window in his house and go down into the secret garden
that the window overlooks. In that garden, we see all the flowers
are replaced by stalks of corn. The camera zooms into the corn, and
continues to descend into the ground, implying something or someone
is buried there... The scene then cuts to Mort at his desk eating an ear
of corn.
THE END
Sucks, and very predictable if you ask me. I kind of suspected Mort
was the real killer, that John Shooter was his alter ego. This was basically
confirmed when Ted mentioned Shooter's Bay Tennessee. I was
hoping to be proven wrong, but wasn't. Totally sucks. Stephen King
should know better.

Several months later I'd think, given the whole thing with the corn,
which you mention below.

Actually, he did:
In King's story, the "twist" (and writer-allegory theme) is that Mort
had pretty much forgotten his buried guilt--at least, buried until
Shooter arrives--over the fact that he had originally plagiarized his
most successful career-building story from a more talented writing-class
student who since died a few years later (and which Mort eventually
remembers after thinking Shooter's style of dialogue sounded eerily
familiar)--Thus making it ambiguous about WHOSE buried guilt/alter ego
Shooter really was, if not a little of both...
...THAT, at least was a different story.

King also left it open as to whether Shooter was real or not. While
him being a figment of Mort's subconscious is the most likely
explanation, the explanation Shooter gives in his final note -- that
he'd done the whole thing as a way of researching a story -- isn't
entirely impossible.
As a side note, the story described in the book/movie bears a
striking resemblance to an episode of /Alfred Hitchcock Presents/.
