Best movie ever!

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Another film that has me scratching my head and thinking "why do I bother watching made-for-TV movies?", this is a muddled, dull and clichéd affair which frequently lapses into moments of mind-crushing sentimentality for effect. Forget horror, as this film couldn't be horrific even if it tried. Instead it seems happy to wallow in plentiful dialogue between the six principle characters. A simple plot is stretched out to feature length largely by having the main plot points explained six or seven times; large stretches occupy the screen in which nothing much happens. There's a thrown in romantic aspect and a sex scene to go with it which could have been completely cut out of the film to no ill effect.At first, with the set-up scenes at the beginning, this appears to be a thriller in the WHAT LIES BENEATH mould. It quickly degenerates into laughability with the arrival of the ghost, a teenage girl who does stupid things like walk in and out of the body of Thiessen (yes, it's that cheesy). From then on the film turns into a murder mystery, with Thiessen trying to work out what happened while her friends and family, initially thinking she's mad, eventually come around and try to help her. At various stages of the plot Thiessen becomes possessed by the girl and not at others, this is not explained. The film's unintentionally funniest moment comes at the end when the spirit of the dead girl possesses a HORSE in order to kill the murderer of her mother. It's that bad.The acting is uninspired and flat, just like any TV movie. There's one exception: Tim Matheson, the stalwart TV veteran who makes the best of his role as the film's red herring. Tiffani-Amber Thiessen fails to make us, the viewer, believe in her at any point, and just doesn't have the acting skill or range to pull her performance off. The character of Melinda Culea, her mother, is so underwritten that she isn't even given a name! The identity of the murderer is pretty obvious about halfway through as well which dissolves the initially interesting murder-mystery aspect of the film. There isn't even any gore or violence - unless you count a silly dream sequence where Thiessen sees the ghost cut off her arm with a knife. Moments later, we see the ghost and Thiessen talking away happily again, with Thiessen apparently having just forgiven her! Forgettable and absurd, BURIED SECRETS may not quite be the worst movie ever, but it certainly gets close.

Perhaps the creators of this silly spooker believed that, because it concerns an apparition-plagued abode, motivations behind the characters' behavior could be as difficult to grasp as the ghost herself! The actions and situations are often so preposterous that the audience may well be constantly wondering why anyone would do or say what the script just indicated! The open-minded can certainly accept the possibility of a haunting spirit, but one which possesses the living and turns blue eyes brown? Maybe it's about all one can expect from a T-A Thiessen peekaboo boobfest where even the spec shows pec! As always, Tim Matheson gives it the old college try in this half-jelled melodrama that totally wastes his talent and the viewer's time. Please--somebody secretly bury this flick!
