Devil's Cove

Loved this cleverly delivered little masterpiece. It's frankly what the independent film world needs right now in this world of racism and bigotry. Here you have an intense love story between an interracial lesbian couple. A couple who murder the abusive men in their lives and move on. Yet have to flee the law and live in hiding. During which time the main protagonist Toni learns that her lover Jackie is anything but the perfect lover she once thought. However this film looks at the levels of human relationships in an incredibly new and different light. It realistically portrays a deadbeat small town Devil's Cove and its portrayal of all the characters and their reactions through the events of the film is really quite adept. Definitely recommending to all indie lovers out there.

Set in the small fictional town of "Devil's Cove" a place where dropouts and criminals tend to flock, super naive and newly married Toni meets the dangerous and badass Jackie McGann. The two embark on a dangerous romance that knows no bounds. When they are threatened by Toni's husband, Rick, a convicted rapist, they commit a murder and have to make a run for it. Chloe Traicos' performance as the sociopathic bad girl Jackie McGann is so unnervingly brilliant that it almost threatens to overshadow the whole film. But not quite. "Devil's Cove" is a movie with a lot of backbone and great performances all round. Intensity is the name of the game in this debut feature by Erik Lundmark. It is a story with guts and determination, brilliantly shot and edited. Flawless performances combined with great, direction make this a wholly absorbing drama laced with humor and tragedy. And the soundtrack is terrific!

As a horror movie fanatic I loved this clever little piece. I found the story riveting and the script quirky and fun. It almost has a Tarantino touch in that you find yourself laughing at the most inappropriate moments. As far as independents go it's right up there. I thought Chloe Traicos was brilliant in her performance as Jackie McGann the evil sociopathic killer and Christelle Baguidy was also very good as the vulnerable sweet Toni. There is a little bit of overacting in parts but in many ways this adds to it.

Favorite scene: Definitely Jackie rescuing the gang at the police station.

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.

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
