slayrrr666 "Buried Secrets" is a decent ghost story with a couple of really big flaws.**SPOILERS**Arriving in White Cliffs, Maine, Annalisse Vellum, (Tiffani-Amer Thiessen) and her mother Laura, (Melinda Culea) move into a new home that has been abandoned for years. Trying to fix it up, she keeps having strange visions and dreams about the house, which is laughed off as unfinished grieving over her father. As she spends more time in the house, she find s herself communicating with Mary Roff, (Erika Flores) the deceased daughter of Clay Roff, (Tim Matheson) the town's mayor and tells her of another crime in the family that must be resolved before she can leave the property. Setting about trying to solve the mystery, she uncovers the horrible truth involving the different relationships in town and tries to right the wrong and free her friend from her existence.The Good News: This one had some good points when required. That several of the hauntings here aren't that bad is the main thing, as it's a really important fact to have a good series of haunting scenes in these kinds of films. There's some good ones in here, mainly because it's horror scenes were remembered to be horror. The very first encounter in the attic, when it's first apparent that there's a ghost on the property is really impressive, as the events that transpire are really great and actually creepy. From the uneasiness it has around the entire sequence and the creepy realization over the revelation, a couple of rather nice shots to prove the power is also just as good. The teleporting all over the house actually works nicely, and there's the eyeball trick which is just as good, and the repeated use of them is really great. Pretty much whenever it decides to go with the haunting route is good stuff. The lone sex scene does have some really nice partial nudity to enjoy. The only other part that works is how nice the mystery is handled. This one has a really decent one that is handled really well and comes off just as good. These here are the film's good parts.The Bad News: There wasn't a whole lot of flaws to this one. The main issue here is that the film is just way too slow-paced. Nearly nothing happens, because this one goes about bringing everything along at a way that just slows it down to the point of down to the point of irritation. There's no real need for it to be as such, making for a lot of confusing times when just making it really out there when it gets to the point it's taken so long to get there is either buried under three other plot-lines or the main point has been long-forgotten and needs to be restated in a long, drawn-out scene that shouldn't have been. That all of these scenes are all so low-key that it's impossible to get any sort of excitement about them, and it really hurts the film even more. That also affects the action in here, which is pretty low-key and not all that exciting. It's way too low-key to mean anything much at all. The last flaw is the PG-13 rating. This pretty much censors the film of pretty much anything, as it has to reign everything down in order to make sure it's not going to offend anything, and it's noticeably lacking anything that it really shouldn't have had in order to get over. From the sex scene taking place that obscures pretty much everything except for glimpses to their not being any kind of blood or gore, or even much violence at all in here except for the hauntings is really there and noticeable, and makes this one suffer a little more. All of these are what keep the film down.The Final Verdict: A somewhat decent, if unspectacular teeny-bopper ghost story that provides something interesting when it tries to. Give this a shot if it sounds like you're thing or are really into the more horror-drama entries available, while those who want more action in a film should heed caution.Rated PG-13: Mild Violence, Language, Partial Nudity and a mild, tame sex scene

blueaugust If you're looking for a "horror movie" you're looking in the wrong place. If you're looking for a charming, suspenseful, old-fashioned ghost story, you've found a gem. Really enjoyed it. Tiffani Amber Thiessen is sweet in her role as a young woman in search of the answers to a small-town secret. The location, story line, and actors all contributed to a wonderfully told ghost story. Thiessen is one of those actors who probably won't win an Oscar, but I have always enjoyed her acting, and in this film she was at the top of her game. I don't know where this was filmed, but the setting was the perfect backdrop for the telling of this engaging story. I highly recommend it.

community_channel i can't believe that there are positive comments about this movie. I live in Australia and the only reason i saw it today was because i stayed home from school and decided i would see what crap movie they had playing as a day time movie. Everyone here knows that they show bad films during the day when it's school because the only people who watch them, are people who will stay tuned for Passions. Buried Secrets was one of the worst films i've ever seen. Next to it, i'd probably put duets, shakespeare in love and americas sweethearts or whatever it was called. To me, Buried Secrets was just as scary as those films. How could anyone call that movie scary?? they should have played up the fact an insane ghost lived in the house but nah it's cool, we won't do that. I mean, what the hell? That horse thing. Yeah that was ... i was watching that and i remember quite clearly thinking 'this reminds me of a kids movie when the badie has to die". We use to have a program here called 'Skippy' about a kangaroo who use to like bash the baddies or whatever. I can't recall exactly, but i believe it was similar to this. Hhahahahhaa yes, i agree with how amusing it was when the ghost got angry for no reason. Speaking of the ghost, how come she didn't get pissed off the other girl was doing her guy?Personally , i just wish that woman (yes i'm no good with names in bad movies) who was the shrink, had kept giving them all pills. then it would have been funny.oh did anyone else think that when that.. oh dear, im goin to do it again, that other girl.. the main one, when she screamed 'GIVE ME MY PILLS', that it was an act?? i didn't realise that was her acting angry. classicthis movie was terrible. if i were with my friends being funny, i would rate it eleven out of ten but because you dont know me, i'll be serious and say 2 out of ten.

Holly-13 what is ghost horse? who thought up ghost horse? what a bunch of rot? this movie stunk
