Devil's Diary


Did any reader out there see The Craft? It was a 1996 smash hit, starring Robin Tunney and Neve Campbell. Clearly in the horror genre, the film told the story of four teens who develop the power of witches. Their teen egos and confused minds make them power-hungry and they go on quite a binge!

OK, maybe only Valerie and I, former HS teachers, would find this situation interesting. Thing is, we know teens. They seek empowerment, acceptance, control, at times revenge...and just imagine if they could actually get it!

The Devil's Diary is another film like The Craft. The story is about some girls who play "catty" games with each other and seek vengeance when they become bewitched. One of them discovers a book in a graveyard.

But it's one dangerous book! See, you get to write a wish on the blank pages, but in truth you're communicating with the devil when you do so. And you become somewhat devilish yourself! Hahaha.

For example, the girl in the picture above writes that she wants every boy in school to go crazy over her. So when she appears at school, the boys go wild...fighting each other for her attention and doing whatever she asks. She says to them, "Hey, guys, run around the field twenty times for me." And run they do!

This film is not for everyone. If you like offbeat, horror, cultish, tongue-in-cheek flicks, particularly in the teens-gone-wild (as in mad) genre, you'll enjoy this one.

View at your own risk....
