This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Debbie (Rose McGowen) is distraught over the death of her mother and school teacher who died in a house fire. She is forced to live with her overly Christian grandmother (Peg Shirley) somewhere near Hollywood. At school Debbie develops a very quick and unhealthy Lolita crush on Peter (Alex McArthur) her teacher. It isn't hard to figure out Debbie is a very bad girl and psychotic individual who will stop at nothing to get what she wants.As a 1998 film, it had that "been there, done that" feel to it. It really doesn't offer anything new or odd. No telekinetic powers, no twist, no supernatural or cute aliens. The film is a drama thriller and lacks what it takes to be a horror film. Dialogue and acting fairly decent, it is just that I have seen this film done a dozen different ways before. This is just a good generic version.Parental Guide: F-bomb, sex, nudity (Sherrie Rose)

"Debbie Strand" (Rose McGowan) is a mentally disturbed high school student who has just mysteriously lost her mother in a house fire and has to now live with her grandmother. When she gets there she immediately finds out that her grandmother is extremely domineering and wants to control her life to the utmost degree. Meanwhile, at her new high school she falls in love with one of her teachers named "Peter Rinaldi" (Alex McArther). Unfortunately for her, Peter has a girlfriend by the name of "Marilyn" (Sherrie Rose) and really has no interest in Debbie other than academically. To compound the situation another student by the name of "Meegan Wright" (Krissy Carlson) also has a crush on Peter and Debbie doesn't like the competition. So, faced with difficulties both at home and at school Debbie decides to take matters into her own hands and those who get in her way are in extreme danger. Now rather than reveal any more of this movie and risk spoiling it for those who haven't seen it I will just say that this type of film has been done before and in some cases in a better manner. However, it still managed to keep my interest for the most part and it does have some good performances by both Rose McGowan and Alex McArther. Additionally, Sherrie Rose and Julia Nickson (as "Anna Nakashi") certainly didn't hurt the scenery in any way either. In any case, despite the fact that it followed a standard format and it's certainly nothing special I suppose it deserves a rating of about average—but no more than that.

This is one of the most inspirational films I have ever seen. Never before have I seen something on film that was so honest and true to life. It almost felt as if I were watching my own life unfold on screen. Rose is wonderful, and this film marks one of here greatest moments in her career. The story is filled with realistic passion, lost in a lot of todays movies. For some reason it has gone almost unnoticed. The subject matter rings true as the story progresses into an amazing story of a woman's desire to survive, and gain what is truly hers. Rose is one of the greatest actresses of her generation and This movie must not be missed.

You know I just really love these kinds of movies. It all is credited to the actors/actresses that play in them. Devil in the Flesh is no exception.Rose Mcgowan played her part so well that it was very believable. The whole fatal attraction idea blended with a spark of hatred and evil put forth by McGowan is just grand. The storyline is pretty basic in the same lines as Poison Ivy. Most people will say if you have seen one you have seen them all. Well I can relate to that line but you really have to give them a chance and watch them as individual films. At least see the work that the actors/actresses have put forth. You never can tell one may be better than the other and with this one it puts forth enough evilness to push it to the front of the line!!!
