Day 205

movie: Devil's Diary
starring: Alexz Johnson, Brian Krause
genre: Horror, Drama, Paranormal
year: 2007
format: TV EDIT

plot: Two angry teens find a leather bound diary in a graveyard and start to take revenge on their school.  Soon, they find themselves at the other end of the revenge.

This is a made for tv movie.

It's one of those typical "the devil made me do it" Halloween time films.  It had some real promise at being a really good update of the Craft, but it fell so short.
There is only so much you can do with high school revenge plots, and this one just seemed to be like a paint by numbers script.

what do i think i learned from this film?
Kids are so cruel, and if you believe that high school is your entire world then you'll never make it in the real world. Then again, if you can survive the evils of high school, you can survive almost anything.

  1. That image for the movie looks suspiciously like the image for the straight-to-DVD bad vampire movie Bled. Doesn't sound like this one fared much better either. And welcome to the LAMB!

  2. Bubbawheat... That was my first thought too. I actually have a vampire book that's not related to Bled in anyway with the same cover art, so I'm guessing it was a iStock photo or something...
