I wasn't sure what to expect when I started THE WORLD IS FULL OF SECRETS. It's the directorial debut Graham Swon and those can either offer a premonition of things to come or make you wish said director was never allowed near a camera again. In this case I'm hoping for the next step he takes. While I can't say I loved this movie it was interesting. The story takes place in current times and 1996. The narrator lets us know she's going to inform us of what took place way back when. A group of young pre-teen girls has gathered together for a sleepover in the days before there were so many items to distract them. Instead they decide to tell one another of the scariest stories they know. Each one is darker than the last with the first being about a martyr during the early period of Christianity, the longest of the stories, through witches being hunted. Of course being teens they get involved in some occult curiosity as well. But something else happens among these girls other than simple storytelling. A tragedy that affects their lives and is referred to by the narrator but not quite explained. Now that description of the film might seem simple but the fact is that it truly IS that simple. Almost the entire film is made up of single shots of each girl talking and telling her story. No re-enactments or panning shots of the other girls as they speak but each individual talking as if you were sitting there listening to her. Accompanying each story is a meandering synth score that never intrudes but subtly plays in the background. Some will watch this and find it an incredibly boring movie. No action, very little dramatic interaction among the cast members and the majority of it these still storytelling arcs. But the fact that this group of young actresses can pull off these long winded tales is pretty amazing when you consider it. And their tales range from interesting to boring making you feel like you are there among them knowing some are thinking let's get on with this while others are listening intently. Movie making is in itself storytelling. But movies tend to tell stories via images that move past the camera at usually breakneck speed, taking us from one location to the next, pulling us into what transpires between characters. This film instead uses the words and telling of the stories to pull the viewer in rather than the images. That might be part of what makes moments in the film seem a bit chilling, the fact no one is moving, just talking. It can create a sense of discomfort. The movie is almost promoted as a horror film but I never really got that sense from it. I never felt frightened or expected a jump scare and none were delivered. But it is an interesting film that viewers, especially teen viewers, might enjoy.

There have been plenty of movies about girls telling scary stories in the dark. However, this one has a style all its own, as its young actresses stare right at you in long takes of them voicing each frightening story, while Tnarration is provided by the only one of them to survive a horrible night back in 1986. Written, produced, directed and edited by Graham Swon, each girl's story goes from the mistreatment of Christian women to how witches were hunted and finally to just how simple it is to go mad. Your enjoyment of this movie is going to depend on how much you can handle the artiness of locking the shot and having twenty minutes of dialogue play as a character stares directly at you with no other action. I found it somewhat brave and an interesting choice, while Becca loudly encouraged me to turn this off and put in something else. That said, all of the women in the cast - Elena Burger as Becca, Dennise Gregory as Clara, Ayla Guttman as Suzie, Alexa Shae Niziak as Emily and Violet Piper as Mel - are quite good at delivering the lengthy dialogue that this film demands, as well as the subtle emotions that need to be conveyed. It's by no means a perfect film, but one that I couldn't stop watching, even with the cajoling of my wife. I'm so glad I never went to any parties where I was asked to look into mirrors or participate in seances. My teen years were strange enough without walking the left hand path. Once things start getting fuzzy and you start seeing double images, you've either be drugged or you're about to be part of something occult, right?

Wish I could get this time back. Stories way too long and felt like they are reading from a book. No teenage girls talk like this in real life. I kept watching, hoping for it to all come together but sadly it never did.

I was excited and happy. I had energy and interest. Then, I turned on this movie. I can only think of one other movie that has made me want to smash my own head in with a hammer out of boredom. The producers, director, writer of this film should feel bad about their lives.

I've never reviewed anything on IMDB. Alexa Shae Niziak's performance in this movie was absolutely stunning. It gave me goosebumps. I was really moved by her performance and look forward to seeing her talent in future movies. Absolutely amazing actress. Great movie. All the very best to Alexa.
