Devil in the Flesh 2

Okay, honestly, I saw this movie's title, the unknown actors, the plot, and I thought, let's a get a movie to waste a couple of hours and get me a little horny. But what I found was a movie with a half-decent plot (although slightly contrived dialogue) and a super-hot heroine (antagoniste?) who could actually act! When the scripting wasn't so bad that no actor could salvage it, I really found Jodi Lyn O'Keefe to be an engaging actor. She has that spark that translates into the suspension of disbelief, the ability to make us feel for the (if slightly warped) character in the play. In my opinion, this is an overlooked b-movie gem. I'm going to look for more movies by this actor, and I hope she's gone on to bigger and better things.

Debbie Strong (Jodi Lyn O'Keefe) is a violent teenager confined in a mental institution. She loves to write and read poems. She shows her poetry to her doctor, and he reveals them to other persons in the asylum. Debbie becomes upset with that action, in her opinion, a betrayal of her trusts by the doctor. One night, she kills the nurse that systematically abuses of her and her doctor, and escapes from the asylum. She gets a ride on the road with Tracy Carley (Sarah Lancaster), the daughter of a millionaire, who is going to the university. In an accident, Tracy dies and Debbie decides to use her identity. She meets professor Sam Deckner (Jsu Garcia), the writer of her favorite book, and has a crush on him. However, Sam has a commitment with professor Carla Briggs (Katherine Kendall), and Debbie tries to make them break up to seduce Sam. What happens next is a predictable festival of clichés. This erotic thriller has everything that a viewer has watched before: it is a kind of teen version of `Fatal Attraction' mixed up with other teen movies. The coincidences, such as Debbie and Tracy being very alike, or the meeting of Debbie with her favorite writer, Sam, irritate me. Jodi Lyn O'Keefe has a pair of wonderful eyes and a very beautiful face. However, in one sex scene with close, the viewer may see some fat and wrinkles on her buttocks, having a sudden cut of the camera in the montage of the film. It would be better off for this young actress not undressing in that position with such a close. Inclusive, the scene would be more sensual. My vote is five.

Title (Brazil): `Dupla Personalidade' (`Double Personality')

As much as I hate to admit it, I could not stop watching this movie. I was channel surfing and caught a glimpse of beautiful Nick Corri and I was hooked. The acting was average, but the script really didn't call for much more than that. Let's face it. This film is a predictable, psycho-chick thing that's been done to death. If you like beautiful people, it should be satisfying enough, however. Jodi is a strikingly beautiful girl. Devil.. may be just a stepping stone for her. She acted well enough that I sympathized with her character despite the fact that she was evil and psychotic. I liked her better than the bland blonde that was the teacher's girlfriend. All in all, I give it a "6" on a scale of 1 to 10.

This is direct to video erotic thriller. You can't expect "casablanca", this is, for what it is, pretty good. Jodi Lyn O'Keefe is so hot in this flick you should wear shades while watching her. Use oven mitts to handle the video. It does try to connect itself to the Rose McGowan starrer "Devil in the Flesh", Alex MacArthur even has a cameo but plays a different character than he did in the original film! The plot is straightforward, girl gets out of mental ward, gets into college, develops crush on teacher and goes psycho. The reason it works here is because the psychopath is more moral than the other people! It delivers thrills, clever dialog and plenty of steamy sex. I don't think this will disappoint people looking for good time.

This movie came a bit too close to trying to be a softcore porno, but it worked. The acting was good, the story was good. I didn't see the first movie with Rose McGowan (though I plan to) or the one that was made in the 80's. I guess they're all the same story, but it would be fun to compare. Not a bad movie at all. From the opening credits, you can tell it's not a blockbuster... some of the best movies are like that.
