Editorial Reviews

High School is a nightmare in this teen thriller of love gone wrong and the two women who try to make things right. Some boys have all the luck and Greg Dunleavy (Mark Krassenbaum) is one of them. Rich, popular, and athletic, he is also dating the most beautiful girl in school, Nicole Voss (Ari Meyers). But Greg is guarding a fatal secret. Emily (Soleil Moon Frye), a young girl from the wrong side of the tracks, has gone missing. Initially, nobody links the event to Greg, and the police investigation unearths no clues. However, an unlikely alliance forms between Greg's girlfriend, Nicole, and Emily's distraught and grief-stricken mother, Tina (Tess Harper), and the two begin to look into Emily's disappearance on their own. Soon, Nicole makes a shocking discovery that convinces her Greg is connected to Emily and to her disappearance. With no definitive evidence against him, Tina and Nicole set a trap for Greg that will prove his guilt if it doesn't prove deadly for Nicole first.

4.0 out of 5 stars Literally a Killing Secret........, November 15, 2008

By

This review is from: The Killing Secret (True Stories Collection TV Movie) (DVD)

Greg Dunleavy (Mark Krassenbaum) and Nicole Voss (Ari Meyers) are the usual high school senior power couple: he the handsome, wealthy, and popular jock and she the beautiful, well-to-do, cheerleader. Greg and Nicole have been dating for two years now and have plans to attend the same college, after graduation, and eventually get married. But, Greg has a little secret: he is cheating on Nicole with a girl named Emily Decapprio (Soleil Moon Frye AKA tv's Punky Brewster) who just happens to be from the "wrong side of the tracts".

Sweet, trusting, but misguided, Emily eventually gets pregnant by Greg and actually believes that he will marry her, that they will raise the baby in the same town, and live happily ever after. Greg has other ideas, he sees only the rath of his father, and all of his future plans with Nicole going down the drain. When Emily, in no uncertain terms, informs Greg that she will not have an abortion and will indeed have the baby, Greg decides that Emily has got to go and maniacally strangles her to death with his bare hands. Greg then proceeds to zip Emily's body up in a bag and dumps her out into the middle of a local lake, then goes on about his life as though nothing has happened.

Nicole has since become friends with Emily's mother, Tina (Tess Harper) and tries to help her to find out what has happened to Emily. Eventually, Emily's body is found on the shore by Nicole's friends during a party held at the lake. It is soon brought out that Greg was "dating" Emily and the heat is on for Greg. Nicole is furious that Greg has been lying to her, beginning to have her doubts about his innocence, and breaks up with him. Another young man, who was obsessed with Emily, is arrested for the murder. Nicole now feels badly about suspecting Greg, and the two get back together.

Unfortunately for Greg, his days of freedom are numbered as a tiny piece of evidence, overlooked by Greg, but found and kept by Nicole (not realizing at the time what she has)comes to light and Greg is starting to get panicky. Anyone who has anything on Greg at this time better watch their back, and that includes Nicole and Tina!

This little gem of a Lifetime movie has wonderful and convincing performances by the entire cast and is a very worthwhile viewing experience, I have this DVD in my movie library. Try it, you'll like it!
