    An ordinary TV movie.

    I can't believe that so many people have said in their review that this is one of the best movies they have seen lately.I can't see why they would say that,i didn't think it was anything special. I must admit that Tiffani-Amber Thiessen is really sexy,but other from that it was an ordinary TV thriller.It has a little suspense,some half way scary moments and average acting. I have seen a lot of other TV movies that is much more entertaining,scary and have better acting.I have to admit that the story had potential for a good horror movie,but it didn't fright me.

    This is one of the best movies

    This is one of the best movies I have ever seen. Murder, suspense, drama, romance, this movie has it all. It never once gets boring. Tim Matheson is a great actor. Tiffani Amber Thiessen is a wonderful actress. Channon Roe is going to be real famous one day.

    fairly OK until the ending

    There's nothing particularly outstanding here, but most of the elements of a decent spooky movie are in place. Everyone seems well cast and the production values are alright.

    My problem with this movie is mostly the ending, because (keeping it vague to avoid spoilage) the villain leaves before finishing his/her "job" at the crucial moment, then behaves as though the job was finished. That made no sense. Plus the way the villain got taken care of was pretty random and silly. :-)

    I would have liked to have seen a bit more relationship development between some of the characters, especially (again keeping it vague) the two reunited family members. That was a key moment and it could have stood a bit more fleshing out emotionally, IMO. I thought that scene ended just a little too soon.

    Ultimately, I gave this one a 5 because the general quality of the filmmaking was reasonable (which I think had a lot to do with the solid acting ability of the leads), but I sorta wanted to give it a 4 because it just didn't impress me at all, and with the cast they had, I think it could have been a bit better with a smarter script.

    BTW, there's no real gore or anything, aside from a (hallucinated and non-gory) severing of a limb. It's more of a spooky story than a horror film.

    Awesome!

    I've seen a part of this movie before, but yesterday I saw the whole movie and I think it's a great movie. It isn't scary or something, but it's definitely worth watching. And the ending part is very beautiful too. I think Tiffany is a great actress.

    are u people insane?

    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. classic

    this 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.
