Secret Window

Audience emotional responses are primarily driven by the film's strong thriller and mystery elements. High **Anxiety** and **Anticipation** are sustained throughout as Mort's situation escalates and the identity of John Shooter, and his true intentions, remain ambiguous. **Fear** builds with the escalating threats and violence, while **Surprise** is a key emotion due to the significant plot twist revealing Mort's true nature. **Curiosity** and **Confusion** are prominent as viewers try to piece together the mystery and understand the psychological unraveling. The darker aspects of the plot, including the deaths and Mort's actions, evoke a sense of the **Disturbing**. Underlying these are elements of **Sadness** and **Melancholy** stemming from Mort's isolation and divorce, typical of the drama genre.
