    Well done for a made-for-TV thriller

    An okay made for TV movie about a recent divorcée who moves back into her childhood home, where her last memory is the "accidental" drowning death of her aunt. Turns out to be a 'whodunit' and with the limited number of cast, it's not hard to figure out who the guilty party is. Plot moves along fairly quickly. Beautiful filming location in Quebec and it's too bad they don't acknowledge it in the film. Rather, they would like the story set as a generic East Coast U.S. city. My biggest gripe is an obvious spelling mistake during the running of the end credits. The actor who played the psychiatrist is David KEELEY and not David Kelly. I've never seen an on screen typo. Shame on the editor!

    Overly dramatic and tedious

    Unsympathetic character. Exercises poor judgment throughout. Spends most of the film with her head in the sand - reacts to everything by either refusing to take action or acting hysterically. Behaves more like a 7 year old than an adult.

    Film tries to create mystery by making you suspect at least 5 possible villians.

    Trying to find hidden key pendant

    I loved this movie, love Kristie Swanson, pretty and talented. I am looking for that hidden key pendant, it does not have to be identical but similar/ Does anyone know where to purchase one?

    Surprisingly good

    Definitely not a run of the mill thriller. Provocative, engaging and intelligent ..these are all the necessary ingredients this film needs to keep the viewer hooked from the first few frames.

    Kristy Swanson spares no emotion from being expressed on the screen, running the gambit from sadness to anger and unbeguilingly gives fans and viewers the chance for her to show off her raw talent.

    Very watchable and I am sure her strong character is a real inspiration to women everywhere....standing up for her self against seemingly insurmountable odds. Love to give a spoiler here but see it for your self. Recommended viewing.

    Have a little chocolate with your popcorn with this film; would work well on a rainy rainy night...nice love scenes, too for Kristy woo hoo :)

    very well done,suspenseful TV movie

    as a made for TV movie,this is actually quite good.the acting,especially by Kristy Swanson is above par.she makes a credible protagonist.the movie has plenty of suspense and is less predictable than most.the story concerns a woman(Swanson)who,despite years of therapy is still haunted with nightmares/memories of a traumatic childhood event. it turns out there is a mystery behind it all, and Alexandra must discover the truth before it's too late.there are a few suspects who could be the villain(along with a few scenarios) and,though i did eventually figure out the mystery and the villain,it took longer than i thought it would.even so,i wasn't completely sure until almost the end.to me,this is a sign of a good mystery movie.i'd recommend this movie to anyone,who wants a movie with some intelligence behind it.i give "Forbidden Secrets" a strong 8/10
