Devil's Cove

I went to this movie quite by chance and ended up really liking it. It's a cute, low budget 21st century version of Thelma and Louise, only this time the girls are lesbians and one is pure evil. The film is the story of Toni, played by Christelle Baguidy, a young naive girl who has moved with her husband to his crazy home town of Devil's Cove. There she meets the charismatic but completely malevolent Jackie, Chloe Traicos, who she embarks in a complicated lesbian affair with. When Rick Cameron Barnes, Toni's abusive husband attempts to stop her affair, Toni and Jackie murder him in cold blood. The story takes on several interesting twists and turns the main one being that Toni is not the sweet innocent she first appears to be. Aside from the strong, exciting story line the movie is packed with interesting characters and amusing dialogue that keeps you fully entertained the whole way through. The performances are brilliant especially Traicos who you cannot stop watching. Fully recommend !

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.

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!

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.
