Devil's Diary

The story idea was interesting enough to watch, but the acting and effects weren't good enough to keep my attention.

DEATH NOTE and DEATH NOTE AGAIN!!

DEATH NOTE and DEATH NOTE AGAIN!!

Uma estória mal aproveitada, um elenco fraco e um final chato. Quis ser Death Note, mas ficou só na vontade.

Quite average as far as the horror aspect goes (a little wink to Deathnote) but the acting seems natural and they do make the best out of the story without resorting to shabby effects. Worth the watch, but only once.

As a movie lover, I watch everything. Stating that, I move forward. At Halloween's weekend, I wanted to do what I love the most; watch a movie. For my surprise, the movie offering this Halloween was not as great as I was expecting, so I decide to see something new even if was not great. So, I encounter myself in front of my TV, set in Lifetime and ready to watch this "cute" movie named "Devil's Diary". For my surprise, this movie was somewhat enjoyable and the premise kept me interested. The plot is good, but if you don't enjoy the horror genre, I think you will not enjoy this movie. Don't expect great special effects or amazing blow mind performances. This is a TV movie, with an average budget so the results are average. Putting the budget aside, I think the principal character did a good acting job and the rest of the cast was average. As a result we have a movie that is not fantastic, but it's not boring; it's entertaining but not fascinating. As for the scary thermometer, I was a little scared at some scenes, which were really creepy, but for the most part, it was just a typical suspense thrill. In conclusion, this is a horror movie for a bored afternoon that will entertain you, but you will not remember it at sleepy time.

ANOTHER GREAT CRAFTY SUPERNATURAL MAYBE HALLOWEENISH MOVIE ALL IN ALL GOOD MOVIE

i really enjoyed this movie.. there was a myth about the book. Kinda creepy to think bad things can happen to ppl by writing it down in a book. high school girls are CRUEL. just plain mean, actually meaner than mean. they are like vicious piranhas out to kill their prey, but they write what they want to happen to others in the "diary" and then the prey's get hurt. yikes. " GEORGIA, i look like a slutty raccoon" REALLY? i think you look HOT. gotta love the popular girls in there horror films.

WAIT! I hate The Lifetime Network too! Seth Macfarlane has dubbed it, "Television for idiots," and I quite agree. Why other women want to watch movies about sadness, anguish, despair, loss, tragedy, stolen babies and wife beating is beyond me. I'd much rather watch a movie about something like a demon feasting on still-beating human hearts. That's normal, right? I almost skipped <I>The Devil's Diary</I> because it cops out and takes the easy route of choosing a high school setting. The whole high school /nerds versus jocks cliche has been beaten to death, and it's just not a world that I am interested in. <I>The Devil's Diary</I> certainly could have given its concept a more sophisticated treatment had it been set in the real world, but what can you expect for a teenage girls' movie on <I>Lifetime</I>? In spite of these constraints, the film is entertaining, gets right to the point and moves along at a sprightly clip. To it's credit, <I>The Devil's Diary</I> is Canadian and has decent production values. Thus it lacks that cheap, made for TV feel. Two girls find a book that grants any wish they write in it. They use it to take revenge on the vicious cheerleaders at their high school. Nerds and jocks battle over the book. A pretty simple premise, but it's executed in a lively, interesting way that is fun to watch. And I admit it's satisfying to see the cheerleaders die. However there's more to it than that. One of the cheerleaders actually has some spunk, some good ideas and does pretty well with the book -for awhile. My only question is, why can't someone who's smart find a book like this? The first thing one should do is write, "Nobody can take this book away from me or ever use it against me. Nobody even knows I have it," and proceed up the ladder from there. Of course nobody thinks of this, and thus the movie has enough material to last more than five minutes. (I have to digress and assert that I would also add things like, "I have an unlimited IQ," "My multiple orgasms last one hour each," "The police refuse to ever arrest me," "I hold a Nobel Prize," and "Bon Jovi can never make another album." Also, "I have omnipotent power and I don't need to keep lugging this silly book around," might be a no-brainer." Why don't the screenwriters ever consult <I>me</I>?) Things get really interesting when the Clergy gets involved. Who wouldn't trust a Catholic priest with a book that bestows unlimited personal power? If you stumble across it and want some simple escapism, <I>The Devil's Diary</I> makes a fun watch for occult fans. It's irreverent, has some memorable images and resists the convention of including a forced, "happy ending." With Danna Casaluce, ("Alex" on <I>Degrassi: The Next Generation</I>) and Alexz Johnson (<I>Final Destination</I>, <I>Reefer Madness</I>.) <div style="width:280px;"><a href="http://www.flixster.com/photos/the-devils-diary-12629106"><img src="http://content8.flixster.com/photo/12/62/91/12629106_ori.jpg" border="0"/></a><div style="text-align:center;font-size:10px;"><a href="http://www.flixster.com"></a> </div></div> <div style="width:280px;"><a href="http://www.flixster.com/photos/the-devils-diary-12622577"><img src="http://content7.flixster.com/photo/12/62/25/12622577_ori.jpg" border="0"/></a><div style="text-align:center;font-size:10px;"><a href="http://www.flixster.com"></a> </div></div> <div style="width:280px;"><a href="http://www.flixster.com/photos/the-devils-diary-12622578"><img src="http://content8.flixster.com/photo/12/62/25/12622578_ori.jpg" border="0"/></a><div style="text-align:center;font-size:10px;"><a href="http://www.flixster.com"></a> </div></div> <div style="width:280px;"><a href="http://www.flixster.com/photos/the-devils-diary-12622581"><img src="http://content7.flixster.com/photo/12/62/25/12622581_ori.jpg" border="0"/></a><div style="text-align:center;font-size:10px;"><a href="http://www.flixster.com"></a> </div></div> <div style="width:280px;"><a href="http://www.flixster.com/photos/the-devils-diary-12622583"><img src="http://content9.flixster.com/photo/12/62/25/12622583_ori.jpg" border="0"/></a><div style="text-align:center;font-size:10px;"><a href="http://www.flixster.com"></a> </div></div> <div style="width:280px;"><a href="http://www.flixster.com/photos/the-devils-diary-12622587"><img src="http://content9.flixster.com/photo/12/62/25/12622587_ori.jpg" border="0"/></a><div style="text-align:center;font-size:10px;"><a href="http://www.flixster.com"></a></div></div>
