A woman discovers she doesn't know the man she married as well as she thought in this thriller. Julianne (Tara Reid) impulsively marries her boyfriend Mitch (Kip Pardue) to break free from her controlling family, and the newlyweds decide to spend their honeymoon in a lakefront cabin on a small and secluded island. While the idea sounds romantic at first, the honeymoon soon takes a sinister turn and Julianne discovers Mitch has more than love on his mind. Realizing she's in grave danger, Julianne has to find a way to escape the location that they in fact chose because of its seclusion. Produced under the title Heaven's Pond, Devil's Pond also features Meredith Baxter and Dan Gunther. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

This tense thriller has been given a respectful treatment for its release on DVD. Devil's Pond has been given a letterboxed transfer to disc in its original widescreen aspect ratio of 1.78:1, while the English soundtrack has been presented in two formats: Dolby Digital 5.1 and Dolby Digital Stereo. No multiple-language options have been included, but the disc does feature closed captions for the hearing impaired. Bonus materials include two separate commentary tracks (one featuring director Joel Viertel and screenwriters Alek Friedman and Mora Stephens, and the other from producers J. Todd Harris and Craig Davis Roth), a collection of deleted footage with comments from the director, a short documentary on the making of the film, a comparison of storyboards with finished sequences, and the film's original trailer. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
