BAY COVEN (aka: EYE OF THE DEMON) opens with a diabolical death in a church building. The scene switches to the big city, where Linda and Jerry Lebon (Pamela Sue Martin and Tim Matheson) have a bit of a problem. It seems that Jerry has grown tired of the urban existence, and longs for a peaceful, more fulfilling life in the country.
Coincidentally, someone just happens to tell the Lebons about the tiny island town of Bay Cove, a wonderful place that fits Jerry's dream of a quiet spot. The next thing they know, they've moved into a huge house in this idyllic setting. Everything is perfect. Hell, Barbara "June Cleaver" Billingsley lives in a cottage on the property! How great is that?
Uh oh!
Snoopy Linda finds an old book in the cottage containing suspicious symbols! It's not long before the Lebons meet the rather pushy, oddball neighbors, and bad vibes begin... vibrating. As Linda continues her sleuthing, bizarre things start happening. The Lebons appear oblivious to the fact that everyone they meet acts in a dubious manner. After a while, even Jerry gets a demonic glow!
Enter Woody Harrelson as the Lebon's goofy friend, Slater. In no time flat, Slater gets a tad nosy himself and, oops-y daisy! He should never have parked so close to that cliff!
BOOM!
As made-for-TV occult conspiracy movies go, this one is a riot. Matheson goes from sappy husband to glaring jerk at will, and Martin simply plays her Fallon Carrington role from DYNASTY mixed with a dash of her old NANCY DREW days! Is it scary? No. However, it is a lot of fun to watch!...

If you like Pamela Sue Martin, Tim Matheson, Barbara Billingsley, Jeff Conaway, Woody Harrelson, the rest of the cast in the film, Horror, Thrillers, Mysteries, and interesting films then I strongly recommend you to see this film today!
A married couple named "Jerry Lebon" (Tim Matheson) and "Linda Lebon" (Pamela Sue Martin) are living in Boston and decide to move off the coast to a place called Devlin Island. On the island is a small community which goes by the name of Bay Cove and is populated by people who have lived there a very long time. However, things are not as they seem. Not only do the neighbors act a little weird but there are a number of strange occurrences which being happening shortly after Jerry and Linda arrive. Anyway, rather than spoil the film for those who haven't seen it I will just say that this wasn't a bad movie, all things considered. Even so, because this was a made-for-television movie there were some parts which I thought were rather tame. Especially in the horror department. I liked the performance of Pamela Sue Martin and the fact that the director (Carl Schenkel) managed to keep the suspense going for the most part and that proved enough to justify the time spent watching it. I give it an average rating.
Not meant to be taken too seriously. The plot moves quickly and there is never a scene that is an obligatory "gross out." After a slow start body the story it picks up quickly and it really keeps you on your toes with the psychological teasing.
The acting is not bad and is about as convincing it needs to be for a TV movie (1950's TV mom Barbara Billingsly is in it). The plot does drag on when the main character suspects the secret of the island town. It doesn't take long for your, "rationality senses" to kick on and you start to think the Pamela Sue Martin character is just plain crazy for not leaving when she has a chance instead of trying to find allies where she suspects none exist.
As a cheap buy its not a bad movie, but its quality goes down as the price goes up.

A couple move to a small community and island to get away from the lights and sirens of Boston. Once in Bay Cove, they wish they had never left the big city.
We meet Linda who has just been promoted to junior partner at the big city law firm she works for. She's married to a man named Jerry who seems to despise his big city life and career and wants to move back to the country doing "hard labour" jobs. After speaking to a couple who live on Devlin Island, and a small secluded community called Bay Cove, Linda and Jerry decide to move there and buy a house. They meet the neighbours who are very strange and then their dog starts reacting around them as well. Pretty soon Linda's dog is killed, her best friend dies in a mysterious accident while visiting on the island, and Jerry becomes extremely distant. Are these all coincidences, or is there a supernatural force at work?
I enjoyed Bay Cove for what it was - a late 80's made for TV chiller about a community of witches trying to secure their sacrifice in order to have immortality. I think that because it was made for TV it's potential wasn't used to the full extent, due to budgetary reasons and other restrictions that comes with being made solely for late night television. The story itself was told very well and it was easy to follow. There was enough mystery and suspense surrounding Bay Cove and it's residents that it made me as a viewer stick around and be invested the whole way through.
Acting was pretty good from all involved, especially Pamela Sue Martin who played the lead role of Linda. You feel for the character as you see all of these strange things happening around her and she can't do a thing about it. Tim Matheson was his usual fine self in the lead male role. Woody Harrelson makes an appearance in a very minor part as well and you can see the star quality even this early on in his career.
Overall I liked Bay Cove. It fell apart in the second half for sure which is why I rated it so average. The first 45 minutes to an hour were really good and the director did a great job creating the story and characters and atmosphere. The ending was a bit dull and ho hum and very made for TV.

- WissenswertesOriginally titled Bay Coven, it was changed to the name of the title location, Bay Cove, which is a better title for the aspects of a horror/mystery given that the "n" that turns Cove into Coven is a kind of spoiler i.e. Coven refers to what Bay Cove is hiding from the main characters.
