Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Newly divorced Rachel and her two daughters, Lizzie & Molly, move out of their cramped apartment to a spacious new house which is also much closer to Rachel's new work. Everything seems to go fine until Molly starts to see visions of a young girl, and when she tries to explain it to her mother, it gets dismissed as stress of the move and adjusting to a new house. When the strange goings on continue, Rachel decides to do some investigating and not before long she discovers that the house is harbouring a dark secret.This is a made-for-TV movie and you can tell that as soon as you start watching it. Made-for-TV horror movies generally just do not work and this is a classic example of that as it is pretty dull, there's no real atmosphere, it is not at all scary or creepy, it's very clichéd & predictable, and the acting, while not that bad, is just very wooden.In fact, it's very much like a "scary movie" for the young teens than anything else. Young teen girls at that, so anyone above the age of 13 and is of the male gender will find this movie to be pretty much a yawn-a-thon.I wouldn't waste your time with this to be honest as there is much, much better movies out there.

Molly and Lizzie live with their mom in a crowded apartment building. Mom buys a huge and very old house away from the city life they're used to from a sleazy real-estate agent who doesn't tell them about the missing woman who lived there decades ago.Lizzie is happy to have her own room, a large room in the basement. Her family helps her knock down the useless wall so that her room will be bigger, and in doing so they release a force that terrorizes the family and eventually possesses Lizzie with the spirit of a German woman who was sealed alive in the walls.Secrets in the Walls is your basic cliché ghost story. Lizzie is a shallow, boring character with no personality, and as usual they pull the emo routine with her by making the ghost attack her and making it appear as though Lizzie hurt herself. Molly is a typical blonde, whiny-voiced, bratty little girl who, as in most ghost story films like Poltergeist and the Messengers, can perceive bad events and sense the ghost. The trailer-trash mom is pretty boring but her co-worker, the medium, was a very interesting character. The soundtrack was bad, especially the song that played when the family was knocking the wall down, it was an unnecessary pop song that really added the element of annoying to the movie. The ghost was typical, its past boring and a copy of other movies. The ending was pretty cheesy and the acting was terrible, but the scenery was pretty good so it deserves a few stars just for the nice old house. I think it was a beautiful house, not creepy by any stretch of the imagination. This movie is a great example of why Lifetime should just stick to making true crime and drama movies, horror doesn't work with them.

This haunted house movie contains "all" the clichés of the genre. The spirit trapped in the house where its bodily remains are still hidden. The ghost in the bathroom mirror. The research into the house's past at the public library. The jewelry box starting to play its tune by itself. The spiritualist lady. And so on.Still, the movie is not over when one believed it would be over - with the finding of the skeleton. Instead, there is a new, sinister development - although this was also, for a horror movie buff like me, quite predictable. As for the ghost, it was a little tame. It ought to have been more scary-looking.Still, the movie was quite entertaining, and sometimes even exciting and a little scary! I also liked how they portrayed the single mum-two kids relation, and the mother's feelings about her little girls growing up. I could relate a lot to that!

I don't think you need a lot of money to make a good movie. This one is not scary at all (except for a person who has never watched a movie before) The story is the very old one that something in the past happened in the house and the ghost of the person who was murdered there is trapped. Personally i prefer ghosts movies without special effects,its more believable when its a real person and make up. But this one doesn't make a single effort to make anything different than doors that closes by themselves, music box that starts to play and girl with makeup that looks at you when you are not paying attention. There are some funny scenes not to say awkward, like when her daughter falls from the stairs and she try some(terrible) CPR. Well its a B (or c or d or e) Movie, and everyone tries to show that it is it
