Secrets in the Walls (2010) I hear her cry, all day all night… Divorced mum and her two young daughters move into a big old house that’s price is too good to be true. Soon strange things start to happen, and just what is that false wall doing there? Secrets in the Walls doesn’t offer up anything new to the haunted house formula, and the premise bears a striking similarity to a Richard Matheson story, but it is effective at what it does. Standard haunted house rules apply, with creaks, a music box, a creepy grate, spooky drawings and boo-jump shocks via reflections and peek-a-boo dark corners. It’s competently performed by Jeri Ryan, Marianne Jean-Baptise, Kay Panabaker and Peyton Roi List, Christopher Leitch’s direction is up to scratch for the spook and shiver narrative, and the music and photography tech credits are not intrusive and therefore well utilised for sustained suspense. It’s a safe recommendation to fans of the haunted house splinter of horror, and coming out of the Lifetime Movie Network it’s impressive to find it’s better than a lot of bigger budgeted Hollywood genre pictures that have trundled out in recent years. 7/10
