Grave Secrets (1989)
A passable ghost story
Grave Secrets or Secret Screams is an obscure supernatural horror movie where a woman's sordid and cruel past is responsible for the spooky events occurring at a homestay run by her. However, neither the supernatural elements nor the human trauma factor are well executed, and the ending is definitely a letdown in terms of the mystery's resolution. The film remains somewhat of a curiosity due to its attempts at connecting the horrors of two situations (the hauntings and strange events with the central character's past), however it does not elaborately construct both sub-plots, and there is a shortage of thrills which is disappointing. Still, some of the ghostly special effects are well done and Renée Soutendijk gives a convincing performance as a woman with conflicting emotions.
