That Secret Sunday

About This Movie

That Secret Sunday is one of those hidden gems from the mid-80s that blends crime, drama, and thriller elements with a gritty undertone. The tension is palpable, especially as the plot unravels around the police cover-up, which adds an air of paranoia that lingers throughout. The young reporter's ambition really drives the pacing, and you can feel the desperation in the performances; they bring a rawness that’s hard to shake off. It’s not just about the murder; it’s about ambition, truth, and the lengths people will go for notoriety. The practical effects are understated but effective, really grounding the film in its time. It’s a curiosity for any collector who appreciates the darker edges of 80s cinema.

In terms of format history, That Secret Sunday saw limited home video releases, making original VHS copies somewhat sought after by collectors. The film has flown under the radar, leading to increased interest from those who appreciate its unique take on crime and ambition. Scarcity plays a role in its collector appeal, as it often doesn't pop up at conventions or online without a bit of digging.
