Skunkyrate Gripping story with well-crafted characters
Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation
Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.
Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
DavidSKS I am convinced Anna Gunn is the best thing to ever come out of New Mexico. She is one of the most talented actresses to ever grace a television screen. Her range is phenomenal. She shows it in Secrets of Eden as Detective Catherine Benincasa. Ms. Gunn is an enchantress who will enrapture you no matter if you're watching Breaking Bad or this TV movie. If you love Anna, you'd better watch Secrets of Eden.
guil fisher Horrible movie and waste of John Stamos. I have always liked his work on stage and in film. His Emcee in Cabaret on Broadway was brilliant. It is sad to see him in this trite silly movie. As for the annoying Anna Gumm as a nosy detective. With her sleepy eyes (like she's half awake) I was voting for Stanos to knock her off. Her level of acting is on a monotonous level matching her monotonous looking face. As the victim Sonya Solomaa was as boring. Never have like her with her large mouth and all the teeth. Here she has that long teenage hair which she's much too old for a 42 year old actress. Tired of watching these over the hill actresses trying to look young. Oh, and the raccoon eye make up on Miss Gumm. Laughable.
veronicammartin This is a surprisingly good film for an afternoon movie. My husband and I kept changing our minds about who had done it. There is a surprise at the end which we hadn't seen coming.When there is an apparent murder/suicide in a small town, the detective who investigates finds evidence of an affair between a rather attractive pastor and the deceased woman.The town scenes are attractively portrayed. The acting was very good all round and looking back there are clues along the way. The flashbacks were occasionally a bit confusing but at the end they seem to fit in with what has happened. Some of the flash backs were quite chilling and the pastor's calm persona was quite creepy at times.I didn't expect much from an afternoon movie but this is well above average.
Dikran Kayfian I love watching mystery movies for the pleasure of gathering clues along with the characters and trying to figure out who the killer is. I also love films made for TV. They have less of special effects, but more of emotions. I read the description of this one and was excited to see it. I shouldn't have expected that much however. The actors' work wasn't anything brilliant or memorable, the storyline goes rather slow and I figured out the ending after 1/3 of the movie passed. I guess, this piece can be offered to people who like to watch an afternoon drama while ironing or solving a crossword. If you are a fan of crime however, skip it. It's too simple and too uneventful. No twists, no surprises.
