Devil's Cove

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!

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

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!

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.

I did not know what to expect when watching this film. I had been told it was a mixture of " Thelma and Louise" crossed with "Monster" - This was true to some extent yet the film also brings a unique story of its own. While on the surface it may come across as a little campy and horror like it contains an incredible twist that I did not see coming. It also portrays the relationship between the two protagonists on a deep psychological level. Chloe Traicos is radiant as the evil Jackie McGann. It is hard to take your eyes from her as she moves across the screen like a tiger ready to pounce on her next victim. Her gutsy, volatile performance is one that viewers will not easily forget. Christelle Baguidy is very good as the seemingly mild Toni Duval, later in the movie it is revealed that she too has claws. The two girls portray a gorgeous sexual chemistry on screen that is truly amazing to watch. I thought this film was great and think it could certainly start a cult following amongst the horror fanatics. My one criticism was the use of the dream sequences that seemed a little out of place in comparison with the rest of the story. On the whole a brilliant piece that I fully recommend.
