Meurtre à Devil's Glen

The reason I saw this movie is because it was compared heavily to the movie 'I know what you did last summer'. This being one of my favourite movies I decided to give 'What we did that night' a chance. I have to say this is one of the best movies I've ever seen. It may not be a gory movie but it has an amazing plot-line and ending. I kept me guessing right to the end and even then I was suprised by the outcome. Rick Schroder is amazing had plays the evil Henry extremely well. This film is excellent and it is a definite must see.

"They call Television a medium because nothing is ever well done" _ Groucho Marx

Many like to write off the tele-movie as being a simplistic, often badly written and poorly produced piece of videotape and, honestly, often they are right.

However in the case of MURDER AT DEVIL'S GLEN the television medium really rises above itself to present a far above average character study with excellent performances from TV actors Noseworthy and Schroeder, teamed with an intelligent and interesting script.

The set up is somewhat predictable - 4 college boys involved in the death of a young woman decide to cover it up and eight years later are forced to deal with their actions.

But the script takes it somewhere else and the psychological depths are expertly plumbed here.

Worth seeing.

Couldn't agree more with the first comment. I watched this (apparent) MOW on Lifetime this afternoon not expecting much. Then I was amazed: the plot twists, the MacGuffin (and *how*!), PLUS four character studies better than The Usual Suspects... This is one heck of a film.

The real mystery is what motivates the protagonist's anger--it kept me guessing for two hours. (The most obvious explanation seemed to have to do with some socio-economic deprivation and a "to-be-revealed" relationship between him and the small-town hooker.) Without giving anything away to people who haven't watched it yet, this mystery also had unexpected depths.

Great, great film. Should have had a theatrical release.

I was waiting for a cool movie to watch on wednesday night and it proved to be one of the best thriller I've ever seen!!Each actor gives himself entirely to his character.The plot is clever, the end is purely unbelievable (well, that's only an expression because the fact is the screen play is totally credible).The photography and the directing just emphasize the atmosphere of both terror and normal life.The perfect combination for a great thriller!

This movie is the story of some frat boys who are always pulling practical jokes, until one joke goes too far and a girl dies. The friends agree to cover up the accident, and eight years later it all comes back to haunt them. To call this movie simplistic would be to overstate the issue.

All these years later, the frat boys have done very well for themselves. Jack Noseworthy's character is an assistant district attourney, and at the start of the film we see him delivering an argument in court. I don't know what's more ridiculous - this kid who looks about 20 years old all dressed up like a grown up and being taken seriously by the court, or the speech, rife with legal jargon meant to establish that "he is smart." They expect us to believe that this little guy is an ADA who lives in a mansion with his wife and daughter. Okay.

All the secrets and twists of the plot are painfully apparent within the first hour of the film, but this doesn't stop them from banging us over the head with a thorough explanation and re-hash of everything at the end. If you're looking for a murder thriller for your kindergarten-aged child, this is it. Otherwise save your money.
