    A series about an instructive story

    I really liked the series from start to finish. These series are the closest to me, because they are full of: action, passion, love, but most importantly, they present a story that can be instructive for the whole world. I had a lot of favorite scenes, but my favorite was when Alex and Camila met for the first time because it was like "love at first sight" between them. Eric Guilmette, who plays Alex Crow, is such a special, handsome, professional and talented actor who played his character perfectly. And the actress who plays Camila Vialante is a wonderful and beautiful actress who also has indescribably great talent. I think everyone in the world should see this series.

    I waited for this incredible show because my favourite actor Erik the main player in this movie

    I was impressed after watching this movie. It is amazing story about love and the plot of show is origin, the place and the actress amazing too. I like all cast in this incredible project. This show not similar like other vertical stories. It's definitely different... I like the third person voice, it's impressed me, when Eric, like writer explained and talked about his feelings... and poetry abilities of our amazing and cool @erictaylorguilmette showed in this movie... stress, secrets and their internal emotions and feelings between Eric and actress keep us till the end us in suspense. Exactly it's hot and cool movie and I like the end. Good luck and I am waiting your new projects, our favorite Eric. Hope I can explain my feelings and thoughts about this project.

    I can see why this is Eric's "best vertical to date"

    "The Secret She Couldn't Escape" The title says it all! But is it a secret that she couldn't escape? You will have to watch it to find out! I see why Eric has made this vertical his best vert to date! I agree with him, this did not give off any vertical vibes! This is a short story! Now I do like the plot twist that was not expected at all! Loved how they showed Alex's imagination through the story without making any of the other characters look like "the villain or the B****" at the end. Overall It's well-cast and directed, showcasing a lot of thought in its execution, but it's unique and different. I see why Eric is so proud of this project! It excites me that Eric is exploring more genres in his acting career. The intensity, thrill, and suspense shown in TSSCE, clearly show that he can take on roles effortlessly!

    Now for the cons: My only concern was the background music, it could have been toned down a little bit! Other than that it's a solid Vertical.

    Eric, thank you for doing this project it's stunning! And I hope to see you explore more genres shortly.

    Mind blowing

    The Secret She Couldn't Escape will blow your mind from the moment you start watching .

    The melodic voice of Eric Guilmette draws you into the story line and carries you through the story.

    This psychological thriller is like no vertical I have seen before. I have watched it 3 times wondering if I will awake from the mind blowing story line with a clearer picture or am a living inside the story line.

    Brilliantly directed it pulls you in and doesn't let go.

    I wish Verticals were included in the Oscar Awards because this one would be taking home some coveted statues.

    A MUST WATCH. CONGRATULATIONS ERIC !

    THIS IS ONE OF YOUR BEST FILMS TO DATE!

    The secret she couldn't escape

    There is so much to say about this project. A lot of love and hard work went into this from the production team to the actors/actresses. From beginning to end, it had me hooked! There was so much suspense and intense scenes with the actors and actresses involved, I loved it. It was so different from the other verticals and is definitely one of the best ones to have been written and filmed! The cast were phenomenal and put in 110% to bring us such amazing quality of work. Could watch so many times and not get bored of it! It's definitely worth a watch, and worth every coin I used to watch it. Amazing work Eric Guilmette and to all involved!
