To me, this movie is perfection.
Pretty Good
Admirable film.
a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
I deserve some type of award or congratulations for watching the entirety of this putrid film dubbed a scary movie. If this was a scary movie it was definitely a scary movie for kids because it didn't even nudge the spook-o-meter.What is clear is that, although I watched this on Netflix, this was a made-for-T.V. flick complete with television cinematography, a weak script and fades to black at teaser moments. This sanitized movie with squeaky clean language, bland characters and even blander dialog was like a Disney Channel Halloween special. "Secrets in the Walls" could've been rated G.This production offered nothing by way of originality, drama, intensity or simple interest. Even the music defied what the movie was trying to achieve... Or what was this movie trying to achieve?
Fairly well made TV movie with every cliché from every haunted house movie imaginable. Didn't really feel the chemistry between the actors as the script nor scenes pushed for it, that said they did a reasonable job to at least pass the illusion of being a modern American family. One other small irk was when the family were to break down said wall from the title, a horrendous album song called breaking down the walls was played as I thought we were going to be treated to some eighties style a 'la revenge of the nerds type montage. Apart from that scene which completely felt out of sync with the rest of the movie, the rest of the film brought you along with it and to be fair,wasn't the worst 86 minutes to fill your time with, but just don't expect anything new here. Average in every way possible..
SPOILER: Divorced mum and her two young daughters move into a big old house that's price is too good to be true. Soon strange things start to happen, and just what is that false wall doing there?Secrets in the Walls doesn't offer up anything new to the haunted house formula, and the premise bears a striking similarity to a Richard Matheson story, but it is effective at what it does. Standard haunted house rules apply, with creaks, a music box, a creepy grate, spooky drawings and boo-jump shocks via reflections and peek-a-boo dark corners. It's competently performed by Jeri Ryan, Marianne Jean-Baptise, Kay Panabaker and Peyton Roi List, Christopher Leitch's direction is up to scratch for the spook and shiver narrative, and the music and photography tech credits are not intrusive and therefore well utilised for sustained suspense.It's a safe recommendation to fans of the haunted house splinter of horror, and coming out of the Lifetime Movie Network it's impressive to find it's better than a lot of bigger budgeted Hollywood genre pictures that have trundled out in recent years. 7/10
Single mother (Who as just been divorced) looking after 2 of Daughters Lizzy teens and the Molly who's little younger has got sixth sense about thing.As this was TV movie, i did not expect much of it, I did enjoy this movie, the movie I saw Early which was Fertile Ground (2011) .This movie Start when single mum goes on her new Job and on the way back she looked at a house, there family decided to movie in and it dose not take for Molly to feel something really bad in the house. There were some decent spooky scene in this movie, it had some really good tense moment in the basement scene, which I found creepy at time for TV movie.The acting was really good from most of the cast, this movie seem have the same feel as stir of echoes. this could have easily have been pasted at 3 but they also added little bit The Haunting in Connecticut (With teen girl moving in basement room)Even it borrow some stuff from other movie, it decent chiller for TV movie.6 out of 10
