Devil Girl

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

Pill-popping, evil-grinning psycho in clownface, often spouting gibberish, whose stolen vehicles always go dead on the highway. Female drifter running away from her past. Perverted preacher with secrets. A sleazy motel owner who offers suggestive remarks to our heroine as she woefully awaits her opportunity to clear out of this godforsaken place. A "Devil girl" who pops up at random to greet each character.

This snoozefest lured me in with quite the seductive poster. The titular character is barely a factor at all, seemingly present as a means to draw viewers to rent the movie. Spent a lot of energy trying to keep from dosing off. These guys couldn't even deliver a good lesbian scene, for my troubles. Hard metal soundtrack loudly erupts often during the film to give it an "edge." Strip club sequences featuring Fay are much lighter than they should've been under the circumstances, although she looks quite enticing in her dominatrix outfit.

Fay, whose sweet ride needs a fuel pump, must endure stripping at a dust-bowl desert town's strip club and renting a ratty dump of a motel room while waiting for the part to come in so she can get out of dodge. She's haunted by loss, among other things, and was unknowingly looted by the loony clown, all the money(..and wallet to boot)in her possession, stolen out from under her nose while seeking gasoline to continue to the uncertain future she had charted herself.

The film has one of those "gotcha" twists at the end that is positively groan-inducing, and seems to be put here just for the hell of it. Jessica Graham is quite a sexy lead and not that bad an actress actually. Vanessa Kay is costumed and body-painted completely red, even given a tail to choke, whip, and spank if she so feels like it. The California setting is appropriately depressing..you do not want to wind up stuck in a place like this.
