Secrets in the Walls (2010)

Purely Joyful Movie!

Don't listen to the negative reviews

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

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..

A simple horror film - nothing special during any part of it really. If it had released in theaters it probably would not've run.Story: A family of 3 move into an ancient house when it is offered very cheap, only to find something strange going on inside it.Storyline, Acting, camera work, thrills or horror - all are OK and nothing is too remarkable. I could not find any fault in anything with regards to the way it is made.There is no vulgarity and it is not an adult horror film. Suited for family watch.But it has nothing unique to offer really...same old concept as mentioned above. It's just a budget film.

I really have no idea what got me into watching lifetime movies when I'm a 19 year old boy who should enjoy partying and going out but after watching this movie i sort of liked it.The basic plot is really nothing i haven't seen before, the only thing different i really found intriguing was that the girl (Greta) was boarded up inside the house ALIVE. Now that i rarely see in a ghost movie which is i guess the reason why i watched this movie. The 3 woman of the story especially Jeri Ryan,and Kay Panabaker play their roles wonderfully and i could watch this movie again knowing full well i'd be scared again. Secrets in the Walls is nothing new to me and yet i still felt like i watched an accomplished film.
