Sorry, but to be interesting, it needed to "cross the line".
by Hunter (Orlando, FL USA)
For those who would not have bought it/went to see it if it had, fine. But it had to have extrmely good reason not to, not simply fear the audience would be limited. Fiction doesn't frighten/gross me out. But, then, I know the difference.
1/5
not entertaining
by S. Olson
I will start off by stating that I had no idea what I was getting into, I had added The Secret to my instant Q some time ago and finally decided to watch it. For one, David Duchovny cannot act, the only thing he was ever good at was being Mulder. Two, creepy implied incest just does not do it for me. Not only was this the most boring movie of my life it was also one of the most appalling (and I have seen every Takashi Miike movie ever made). I cannot even begin to fathom why people are giving this movie positive reviews. The only thing I can come up with is that certain people just feel the need to like or pretend to like the taboo. Just because something is taboo does not mean it is cool or sexy or entertaining. Watching this movie was the biggest waste of my time.
5/5
Weird
by Florence M. Herrera (Ca)
Very differant kind of movie, if you like weird movies about the dead coming back you will like this one.
4/5
A Different Kind of Freaky Friday
by Angela Schmidt (Knoxville, TN)
I thought this was going to be a spooky horror type film, but it was completely different. I've seen transference films before like Freaky Friday, etc., but this is the only one I have seen that is truly dramatic. An overbearing suburban mother gets a chance to understand her daughter and see who she really is in the most personal way before it is absolutely too late - a repeated premise, but this one takes the cake for me.
And, this may sound kind of perverted or gross, but I thought all the sexual tension and innuendos that came across between David Duchovny and Olivia Thirlby, the actress who played his daughter/spiritual wife, were kind of hot. This movie almost crosses that line, but it doesn't go there which I was totally afraid of in one particular intimate scene.
Olivia Thirlby reeled me in with her dual role in this movie, and I look forward to seeing her in more films in the future. David Duchovny was delicious as usual. I don't know what it is, but I just love to watch that man.
5/5
The Secret
by Southern Belle (Omaha, NE USA)
This movie is very different from anything I've ever seen. It's thought provoking. I could feel the pain that the tragedy caused. David Duchovny's acting, as usual, was awesome and he's great to look at. Olivia Thirlby played the part of the daughter and the mother to perfection. Lily Taylor, though not pretty, is a fair actress and did a reasonable job as the wife. She played the blind girl in X-File episode, Mind's Eye, passably well.
The Secret Summary
In the spirit of Ghost and Birth, Hannah and Benjamin (Lili Taylor, Six Feet Under and David Duchovny, The X-Files) are a happily married couple whose love is tested in ways they never could have imagined in this touching supernatural drama. But when Hannah is killed in a car accident, the couple's strong bond may be responsible for an unusual twist of fate that keeps their love alive -- at th
Hannah And Benjamin Are A Happily Married Couple Whose Love Is Tested In Ways They Never Could Have Imagined. When Hannah Is Killed In A Car Accident, The Couples Strong Bond May Be Responsible For An Unusual Twist Of Fate That Keeps Their Love Alive At The Expense Of Their Daughter.
Compared to pallid supernatural romances like
Ghost
,
The Secret
is a fireball of Freudian pathos about a love triangle between parents Benjamin (David Duchovny) and Hannah Marris (Lili Taylor), and their teenage daughter, Samantha (Olivia Thirlby). Directed by Swiss actor Vincent Perez,
The Secret
succeeds where other cheesy ghost films fail because there is always the possibility that after Benjamin's wife, Hannah, dies in a car accident and comes back to inhabit her daughter's body, Benjamin will be lured into his daughter's arms by sheer grief commingled with desire. The film's operates with increasing tension throughout, starting when Benjamin decides to believe that Sam is temporarily not Sam, but his wife. There are sappy scenes, such as when Sam, as mother Hannah, returns to high school following the accident and flails terribly in teenage situations. But the notion of a mother spying on her daughter through possession recalls
Mommie Dearest
, in a great way. The real credit in this film goes to Thirlby, who in essence plays two characters well, switching identities throughout. The sexual innuendo she brings to the part adds the zest
The Secret
needs to elevate it from a suburban nightmare to real horror. Viewers who enjoy
The Secret
might also look to Argento's mother trilogy, or the recently released French horror film,
Inside
. That said.
The Secret
contains no gore and relies on psychological suspense rather than violence to construct its mother/daughter tale. --
