What were Allison Porter's parents thinking when they made her be in this movie only to play a little girl on trial for an arson killing she didn't commit? That's child exploitation!!! You never hear about girls that age go to jail for anything! I guess it's because of that 'Jerry Springer' mentallity that has souped-up plots for Made-for-TV movies such as this to entice people to watch such garbage. I still can't get that scene where we see a 10 year old Billie Calhoun on trial out of my head.
Every time she gets closer and close to getting the truth about who burned down her house that killed her Mom and sister, another murder happens, and then another, and another! > In my opinion, this movie didn't even have an ending! It was obvious that poor Billie Calhoun was going to be truamtized for life because of this!
If they want to make a Made-For-TV movie about a 10 year old girl, who not have the girl strive to become a piano virtouso, or a woman's league baseball player? Not be accused of a crime and then years later, escape to prove her innocence!
One of the worst lines was: "I grew up in a prison. That wasn't easy, either"! What were they thinking????
"Her Hidden Truth" is and will be in my opinion one of the "Worst Movies of all Time". It should be in one of those "Bad Movie" books. In the meantime, I'm going to see a better movie: "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World!" :)
I might be a little biased because I saw this as a ten year old girl, but I really like this film. It's not meant to be a "thinker", it's just meant to entertain - and in that respect it has my vote.
Yes, there are plot holes...
Why was she in a women's prison? How did she know how to drive when she grew up in prison? How come Father Paul looked young enough to be her brother?
Who cares? These are minor details that can't ruin the film for me. Everything that needed to be explained was explained. All the viewer really wants to know is the identity of the killer.
I still find it somewhat suspenseful and fun. It's not meant to be a psychological film, just a fun way to kill time on a rainy Saturday afternoon. In that sense, it does it's job well.
not rated, but very adult themed with mild language and violence
