Devil's Pond (2003)
8/10
ugly story beautifully filmed, Tara's best, but rejected for theaters?
12 October 2016
Saw it as HEAVEN'S POND on a rented local DVD back in 2007. Now got me the imported DVD after being unable to find it under that title. Turns out it was released in the United States as DEVIL'S POND. But straight to video. Because of several setbacks during the filming, the producers are overly sensitive about perceived shortcomings of the film, and it wasn't released theatrically. Yet it is Tara Reid's best performance, many agree. And, really, look at it, it's a winner in many ways, it is definitely theater-worthy, even if it is clearly most assuredly not a date movie, no way!

So there's one or two goofs with background clutter, a car here, a director's chair there... Really easy to look past that, with this powerful performance by the two young stars.

The movie is as popular with me now as it was back in 2007 when I first saw it, and I watch a heck of a lot of stuff, so that's saying something.

Highly recommended to all Tara Reid fans, an absolute must- see! And nothing wrong with Kip Pardue's acting. Great location, absolutely beautiful, Montana as a whole, the island in particular. Ugly story beautifully filmed. And Tara is cute.
