Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

Connianatu How wonderful it is to see this fine actress carry a film and carry it so beautifully.

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

wes-connors Handsome and muscular Kip Pardue (as Mitchell "Mitch" Whalen) takes sexy blonde bride Tara Reid (as Julianne) to honeymoon in a little love shack on a small Montana island surrounded by water. From the bruised and bloody opening, we know this is going to be a bad trip. After a few days of good sex, Ms. Reid finds out she's very likely trapped on the island. Reid is also nervous and afraid around water. She never learned how to swim. Her cell phone doesn't work, either. He looks great wearing only his jeans, but Mr. Pardue shows psycho possibilities. Making matters worse, Pardue is close to running out of cigarettes...There isn't much of a story here, so director Joel Viertel deserves credit for sustaining some interest as scenes progress. The co-stars are about all you'll see; they are good looking and beautifully photographed, by Matthew Jensen. Pardue and Mr. Viertel keep the male lead from overreaching, which does make his character and the situation more convincing. Pretty in pink lipstick, Reid looks mildly disgusted when she first sees the honeymoon shack and maintains that emotion; she keeps her shirt on, also. While the repair efforts are appreciated, Pardue's see-through love shack does not look like it would stay dry inside.****** Devil's Pond (5/16/03) Joel Viertel ~ Kip Pardue, Tara Reid, Meredith Baxter, Dan Gunther

Chase_Witherspoon Looks like a mid-week telemovie and stars Tara Reid beginning to regret her recent nuptials to Kip Pardue, after he goes berserk on their honeymoon, turning out to be a grade-A psycho who's been stalking her, grooming her as his prized possession. He seems to develop an obsessive psychosis as he manhandles her around his 'island' (an idyllic setting surrounded by a lake which is useful, because she has a mortal fear of drowning), controlling her behaviour, opinions and generally engaging in ever-escalating forms of domestic violence. Initially surprised, she gradually becomes aware he's not the man she thought he was, by which time, it's too late and she must fight fire with fire in order to escape "devil's island".Momentum is present, the gradual escalation too, but the film never quite manages the "psychological thriller" for which it appears to be aiming. Tara's make-up and hair never seem to match the ferocity of Kip's brutal attacks, his creepy, emotionally detached persona done reasonably well. If you can't cop Tara, or for that matter Kip, then you're in trouble because they're essentially the entire cast, although Meredith Baxter-Birney has a very minor role.I've read that this is an independent film which explains the sometimes amateurish look and feel, though given the film's small scale, this isn't necessarily a deal-breaker. If you can suspend disbelief for long enough to accept the human headline, minor celebrity of Tara Reid attempting a vaguely important role, then this will be sufficient to pass the time.

SlayerBoi1992 Devil's Pond is a very good film. Yes it is an indie film but that's besides the point. Tara Reid (American Pie 1 & 2, Urban Legend) gives us a great performance. Kip Pardue (But I'm A Cheerleader) is not the greatest actor but does well on this interesting film. This movie only has like 2 songs in it but the songs sound pretty good. I found no mistakes which is good because i'm really good at catching those in movies. The site where they shoot the film is beautiful with a little cabin setting in the middle of a pond and the fact that this movie only has 2 actors in the entire film makes it all more interesting to watch. I suggest that everyone who likes to see blood and abuse in the movies to go rent this film at your local BlockBuster!!!

mario_c It's a nice thriller about a couple that goes on honeymoon to a desert little island in the middle of a lake, in the woods, far from everything. In the beginning everything seems to be fine, the couple is in love, as it is supposed to be on a honeymoon, until the day that she wants go back home and he doesn't… then, step by step, she will find out why he did chose that place to spend their honeymoon… The film is reasonably suspenseful, in spite of not having any major twist, and the plot is quite good too. The acting is also fine. Though, this kind of plot isn't really a novelty, so I think I won't score it more than 6/10.
