Devil in the Flesh (1998) - The Inzomniac's Movie Madness Review.

Devil in the Flesh
USA 1998. Director: Steve Cohen
Cast: Rose McGowan, Alex McArthur, Peg Shirley
Aka: Dearly Devoted

Rose McGowan devotes, take notice. She'll love you to death. At least in this take on a theme (the obsessed girl gone berserk) made many times under the same title (perhaps best by Marco Bellocchio, but also by Joe D'Amato). Add a bit (actually, a large bit) of Fatal Attraction, a bit of TV's Sweet Valley High and a Wes Craven movie of free choice.

The former Mrs Marilyn Manson plays Debbie who lives with her wicked grandmother whom she hates. Debbie eventually falls in love with or rather becomes obsessed by her hunky teacher in school and decides to nail him. Sex, love, death soon enters the building. The usual. Stylish but routine TV-movie direction and flat photography doesn't do much to help, but Rose McGowan (Scream, Phantoms etc ) is nothing short of sensational as the psychopathic schoolgirl from hell. A little too good in fact, you can't help but sympathize a bit with the character. She may be a psycho killer but most of the people (and animals) she kills plain flat deserves it.
