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.

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.

I found myself really enjoying this little film that screened at the Laemmle. While done on a tiny budget the story was solid and the acting pretty good. I tend to be a low budget horror movie fanatic and have to say this is certainly not your standard horror. However it is clever and more of a "road" movie thriller with incredibly witty dialogue. Chloe Traicos is definitely the main reason to watch this movie. As the sociopathic Jackie she is quite electrifying and brilliant to watch. I enjoyed many of the characters in the movie especially Jim the barman who was played by Asger Folmann - a fantastic actor who I wanted to see more of. On the whole a solidly good little film. Would definitely recommend it.

Brimming with great performances and dramatic scenes, this is one truly awesome film taking female oriented drama to a whole new level. This story is a feminist version of an outlaw road movie. It tells the story of Toni Duval (Christelle Baguidy) , an outsider to the bizarre town of Devil's Cove, who falls for the mysteriously charismatic Jackie ( Chloe Traicos). The two girls embark on an intense affair and when Toni's husband, Rick ( Cameron Barnes) attempts to keep them apart, the girls murder him and flee town. Chloe Traicos is fantastic . Her performance alone is worth watching the movie for. Although it has to be said the entire cast is truly brilliant. Christelle Baguidy also gives an eloquent and compassionate performance. Barnes too is frighteningly convincing as the vilifying wife beater. A truly good, well written independent masterpiece!

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 !
