Blucher One of the worst movies I've ever seen

Cleveronix A different way of telling a story

Casey Duggan It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Cassandra Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

waitsalive 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..

Spikeopath 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

jonnygouda Let me summarize the first part of the movie quickly:Single woman with two kids moves into dilapidated, old mansion she gets cheap because the owner is out of town, inherited it and just wants to sell it quickly.A slightly clairvoyant youngest daughter who can sense and see things that no one else can who everyone thinks is just frightened of a new place.Happy –go-lucky scenes to begin with complete with a renovation scene with happy family rock and dancing ala "Cheaper by the Dozen" (the new one with Steve Martin).A scene of a mysterious hole in the wall that shows a creepy hand after the family stops looking into it.A creepy music box that plays without being wound. Images of creepy, dead people suddenly appearing in the mirror or behind a doorway that the victim doesn't originally see. …except for the slightly clairvoyant youngest daughter who gets terrorized nd still not believed.Unexplained bloody nose. Creaking doors and flickering lights.Sudden scaring of the older daughter and doors that suddenly jam with scary music being played and the older daughter that now BELIEEEEEVES! But is of course written off as simply being stressed out.The slightly clairvoyant little girl who realizes the scary dead girl ghost "wants us to know something…"You can probably guess the ending from there. No need to explain the rest. Kind of sad to see Jerri Ryan – 7 of 9, the 'Borg from Star Trek – reduced to this. I love a classic ghost story, but this is so textbook, cookie cutter it would be difficult to scare a 10 year old with it. Quite frankly, I've seen episodes of "A Haunting" which dramatizes slightly famous real-life haunting s that have made popular culture. Even "Ghost Hunters" is more entertaining.Jerri Ryan seems to have aged more than the 10 years in between Star Trek: Voyager and this movie. :'( And as was said earlier, this does have all the feeling of a great afternoon show for the lady viewers of the Lifetime Network LOL.But, if you decide you really want to watch this, I'd record it (unless you can find it on Hulu or Netflix) because the 2-hour TV movie is only about 80 minutes after you subtract 40 minutes of commercials using fast-forward. -sigh...-

tonyjea92 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.
