Devil's Cove

I found myself really enjoying this little film that screened at the Laemmle. While done on a tiny budget the story was solid and the acting pretty good. I tend to be a low budget horror movie fanatic and have to say this is certainly not your standard horror. However it is clever and more of a "road" movie thriller with incredibly witty dialogue. Chloe Traicos is definitely the main reason to watch this movie. As the sociopathic Jackie she is quite electrifying and brilliant to watch. I enjoyed many of the characters in the movie especially Jim the barman who was played by Asger Folmann - a fantastic actor who I wanted to see more of. On the whole a solidly good little film. Would definitely recommend it.

Brimming with great performances and dramatic scenes, this is one truly awesome film taking female oriented drama to a whole new level. This story is a feminist version of an outlaw road movie. It tells the story of Toni Duval (Christelle Baguidy) , an outsider to the bizarre town of Devil's Cove, who falls for the mysteriously charismatic Jackie ( Chloe Traicos). The two girls embark on an intense affair and when Toni's husband, Rick ( Cameron Barnes) attempts to keep them apart, the girls murder him and flee town. Chloe Traicos is fantastic . Her performance alone is worth watching the movie for. Although it has to be said the entire cast is truly brilliant. Christelle Baguidy also gives an eloquent and compassionate performance. Barnes too is frighteningly convincing as the vilifying wife beater. A truly good, well written independent masterpiece!

Chloe Traicos gives a raw, blazing performance of psychotic killer, Jackie McGann. Her performance alone makes the movie worthwhile. Yet it is not the only thing that holds the film together. " Devil's Cove" is a dark yet oddly humorous story about two girls, Toni ( played by Christelle Baguidy) and Jackie ( played by Traicos) who murder Toni's bullying husband Rick and escape the confines of their small town of Devil's Cove The journey the girls go on goes from being scary to brutally terrifying as Toni discovers that her lesbian lover is in fact a cold hearted killer. I think this movie is a film that takes the idea of feminism to a whole new level. The men are easily disposed of while it is the women who steal the show. A gutsy piece that I would certainly recommend

I did enjoy this movie which is done in the gritty, Blair Witch, low budget style. It certainly keeps you guessing the whole way through. The whole lesbian, interracial couple thing was a big politically correct, almost like trying to make Thelma and Louise in the 21st century. However it does pull together well and is surprisingly funny in parts. I found the acting a little weak except for Chloe Traicos who is remarkable, taking over every scene she is in. Rebecca Tudor, who has a tiny role is also brilliant. I would have probably changed the ending to something more dramatic, Thelma and Louise style but on the whole this baby does work!

Okay, I HAD to see this movie when I read something about Ed Wood, and I gotta say it's pretty accurate. It's definitely not the best made movie or anything, but I think there's a lot of funny stuff in there that people overlook, like the part where they're all snorting cocaine with straws was amazing, and the lady who talks about killing herself made me laugh every single time, and the kid who was so excited to have sex with the girls because he's never had sex was great. It's campy and a little over the top, but I think that works with the way the film is made. I really hope this movie finds an audience, because B movie lovers like me would eat it up.
