Not nearly as creepy as "Birth" with Nicole Kidman. A refreshing twist on the genera.

Redeemed only by an amazing performance from Olivia Thirlby when possessed by her mother, The Secret is dismally similar to far too many films, including family dramas like Freaky Friday. Were Olivia and David Ducovny not such great performers, The Secret would probably become do... read more

OK movie I guess just not my usual type of entertainment. I wanted to fast forward through parts of it but Peach was over and I think he was tearing up. My girlfriend was interested so you girls out there may like it. Too much emotions and blah blah for me.

The synopsis makes it sound a lot more messed up than it actually is. It's a very good movie if you just give it a chance.
