Review of Devil's Pond

Devil's Pond (2003)
2/10
Poor attempt at a psychological thriller
27 March 2005
The movie has been summarized to death already, so I'll try to be brief.

Tara Reid's character has to be one of the most pathetically stupid heroines in recent memory. She had dozens of opportunities to get away and end her torment, which she screwed up time and time again. By the end of the movie, I was cheering the psycho on, hoping he'd kill her before she had a chance to breed and thus noticeably bring down the average IQ of humanity. I admit, I didn't have high expectations and only saw it because my girlfriend wanted to see it, but I was floored by how weak and stupid the main protagonist's character was written. She was probably the weakest, most useless character since the wife in the original "The Shining." I would highly recommend you avoid this movie at all costs unless you enjoy watching about an hour and half of one stupid act after another. Maybe you could turn it into a drinking game, every time Tara Reid's character does something you think is stupid and you would do something different, take a drink. I guaranteed you will get absolutely plastered.
