This is an amazing movie. It is very entertaining, never a dull moment. Tara Reid And Kip Paradue both give amazing performances, this movie really should have gone to theaters instead of direct to DVD, or at least limited theaters, it definitely deserved it. It has thrills every corner, and is very exciting, you are always wondering what is gonna happen next. Tara, the way the plays her character, you feel really bad for her, and you cheer for her as she tries to escape, and Kip, the way he plays his character, he makes you hate him, and you boo! him as he tortures innocent Julianne. Anyways definitely worth a rent, very enjoyable!

First of all a warning, this movie is awful! It contains bad acting, many plot holes and things that just don't make any sense! Tera Reid plays the little rich girl we already know who winds up married to a psychotic stalker. Somehow she thought he was completely normal until they spend a couple of weeks at their honeymoon spot on a tiny island. Also, Tera is scared of water which foreshadows the fact that she will be trapped on this island unless she can conquer her fear. Since this movie is a 'woman=good man=bad' type movie you can already predict the sequence of events and the ending. Reid does a better job at acting than her male companion but that isn't to say she's good. She goes from looking like she's going to have a breakdown to just looking out of it...maybe she was just drunk on set. Who knows? As for the rest of the movie, it's filled with magical cigarettes that don't get soaked when swimming, a diet of only pond water and meat (which I must say, there must be a water filter around that island because with Tera's shaved legs and fluffy hair, there's got to be chemicals in there), and a man that can take a frying pan to the face and a bear trap on his ankle but gets woozy when hit with a piece of wood. So, that is Devil's Pond in a nutshell. If you are wondering why I gave it a 3 instead of a 1; it's because I got a laugh out of it. Will it also humor any of you to tell you I watched this film on Lifetime?

I can't stress how disappointed I was that I couldn't enter a vote of zero when rating this movie. It was the worst movie I have ever seen, and the directing and acting was absolutely pathetic. I wish I would warn everyone not to see it. But being as I'm probably one of the few people who ever will, it doesn't matter anyway. I read the script long before these people started making it and they totally obliterated what could have been a decent film. The dialog was a joke (only it wasn't a comedy) and the story was even worse. What a waste of time and money for the viewers, the investors and the rest of the cast and crew. It makes you wonder if these producers ever read their scripts before they put their time and money into them.

I really liked this movie. I thought that it was something different and realistic. It goes to show that sometimes you never really know someone. The only thing that was unrealistic was the fact when he came back from the truck with a lit cigarette and the gun dry. That would never have happened. I liked how Julianne fought for herself. She became sneaky about her tactics and overcame fears. She wasn't willing to give up. I also liked how she found out that he had stalked her before they ended up together. It really brought everything into perspective. It really shows that no matter how much you know a person, sometimes there are things about them that you never thought possible.

Not bad for the genre, if only because the filmmakers stayed away from the usual cliches. I was thoroughly entertained for ninety minutes without having to stop and think too hard, either about bad plot or bad script and that's all I wanted.

I had a difficult time trying to decide whether to watch or not the movie. I mean, it stared Tara Reid! Soon after the plot develops, I found myself paying attention to the events but only because of Tara Reid's intention to act decently. Let's face it, she's not a good actress but at least in this movie she tries to to do it fine. Kudos for her; she tried it at least. After convincing myself that she did a nice effort, the movie delivered a fine surprise for me when it became a thriller about a psychopath husband trying to convince his new hot bride that he really loves her although he stalked her before and well, more twisted situations. True, the acting is not that good (Kip Pardue delivers a fine performance though) and you need proved, talented actors to carry on 90 minutes of an intense dialog; I mean, there are only two characters in the whole movie. The settings are really good and somber, plus the situations ask for a sad atmosphere. Well done for the cinematography and art direction. Overall this is a movie to just watch once and when it airs on cable. It's not a keeper or memorable, but it still deserves a slight chance.

This is one of those films, like Plan 9 from Outer Space, that's so awful that it can be fun to watch, especially with an inebriated group. Tara Reid's acting is so awful that it's downright funny. It helps to have a two or seven cocktails while watching this - the plot only makes sense when alcohol consumption is increased. It's obvious that this film went direct to video -- what's scary is how little talent is evident in this production -- writing, directing, acting, etc. Whoever greenlighted this production in Hollywood is hopefully now grilling hot dogs at Pink's.

A pretty straightforward basic idea fleshed out with good writing, excellent direction and effective cinematography. Fine performances from Tara Reid and Kip Pardue (truth to tell, I have only seen them in supporting roles until now and never actually noticed either of them before, but this tight story really shows them off). I watch all the thrillers/horror films I can get my eyes on. And I've seen some duds the last couple of years. This one, however, is brilliant (though not as good as What Lies Beneath). Suspense, character development, a script that actually holds water(!)... Come to think of it, a review this positive from me has to be a mistake. Maybe I'd better watch it again in a couple of months to see if it was really that good. In the meantime, I think you should do the same.

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

I caught this movie flipping through channels one night, and I keep coming back to it. I'm not sure what it is- I'm not a particular fan of either of the main actors, but it's one of those simple, yet realistic films that sort of draws you in. Its scary but at the same time you could see something like that actually happening, and you responding in exactly that way. If anything ladies, it will encourage you to become a strong swimmer if you aren't already. It's a great B-movie flick to watch alone at night with a bucket of popcorn. Kind of scary, kind of suspenseful, but not what I'd designate necessarily as 'horror.' Its like a Lifetime channel horror flick, but an actually good one for a change. Enjoy it!
