I could just become a Tara Reid fan.......2007-06-12

You know there is a lot written about what a terrible actress Tara Reid is but actually given the right script and a role where she is not required to carry the whole film, she can do a decent job. Unfortunately, this is not the right script and she is required to carry the whole film. A few minutes into this one, I was asking myself: "What was she thinking?" Did she talk to this guy once or twice before she married him? What did she see in him? Kip Pardue should have just worn a sign on his forehead: NUTCASE, KEEP AWAY. Anyway, I watched the whole film and it was kind of entertaining, though pretty slow and very hard to believe. Also the two leads were not up to the task. I could see where this film might be an okay way to spend a slow night if you're in the right mood, so I give it 3 stars and say watch it if you're running low on selections at the video store. Don't buy it though. You can do better things with your money, like if you really like Tara Reid, watch INCUBUS.

So boring..........2007-03-07

A Region-4 DVD produced under a title "Heaven's Pond" makes a related info of harder to locate in Amazon.com.

However, one could conclude psychopathic nature of characters is based on a sort of ill imagination demonstrated by creators of this work rather than on any realistically possible patterns.

As understood, a young husband is a person assuming someone's identity which presses him to survive on an island in the middle of the river, which is practically impossible, no food and elementary gains civilization presents. In this case, his marriage, no documents, is a mystery either.

While wasting time on watching, I felt this work very similar to a famous French movie "Criminal Lovers", a real gem of a modern cinematography.

Very Entertaining.......2006-11-29

I was never a fan of Reid until I saw her in Van Wilder, and I thought she was adorable in that film. She does a complete turn in this film which has a dark edge to it, and it is quite believable. The photography is amazing as it adds to the chilling atmosphere. Kip Pardue and Tara Reid have some chemistry, and while neither of these actors are going to set the world on fire with rave reviews, they each fit these roles nicely. Its a little predictable, but the eerie still shots and Pardue's relentless attempts to supress Reid keep you glued to your seat. It helps that Reid looks the part in this film and delivers the most convincing performance of her up-and-down career.

Did i married Grizzle Adams or what?!?.......2005-10-13

Newlyweds go on honeymoon to secluded patch of land in the middle of a pond where the husband turns Grizzle Adams on her, where her life will never be the same again. What a plot...like what gives here. We have this guy who does the lovey dovey sweet charm moves on hot American Pie gal Tara Reid to get her to marry him. Then while on their geteway trip to romance, he decides its time to live like Amish people by learning to live a life like Mary in 'Little House on the Prairie' because according to him, true love cannot be obtain living a pampered princess life style in modern civilization. According to Mr. Adams here, true love is to be his obedient while he does the manly things like hunting for food in the great outdoors then coming home where his wife should be ready and willing for passionate love. She doesn't like this crap from the very start so you probably know whats going to happen next. You know, for someone who chatised modern inventions and its usage, why does he carry a box of matches, flashlight, and other goodies.....talk about being a hypocrit.

For parents who dislike their daughtars romantic relationship with their bf's and want to warned them what possible marriage could led to, then by all means....have them WATCH this movie. Impressionable girls would believe into thinking that every sweet talking hot stud has an evil agenda once the knot is tied LOL.

Now if your wondering if i enjoyed this movie or not, well let me tell you....i hate it to pieces. So much so that i ended up flinging the DVD across the room in disgust after seeing it. Little entertainment value where the only setting is on that little dingy island in the middle of a pond? Oh yeah, it's a Devil's pond man...duh! I feel bad seeing Tara being helpless like that but she will get her revenge...very predicable in fact cause the viewing audience would not want this maniac to win. Wow i didn't know that!

If you enjoy this movie alot and wants to watch it over and over again, then you got problems and need to seek help.

pretty good.......2005-07-23

this movie is about an upper middle class girl and her newlywed husband. they leave on the second day of there marraige for a secluded island that no one rlly knows about.

but after awhile things change. her husband becomes very controlive and possesive of her and bc she cant swim he even chains her up! he tampers with the car so it wont start because he is trying to keep her there on the island. we find out that he killed his father in a hunting accident. she must fight her way out and make her escape. there are so many simple and obvious things that she could have done to escape tho. why not just take a weapon and walk back to town in the night!? or wen she had to fight him she could have kicked him below the belt. there were so many things around her like rocks that she could have used and she should have taken that knife and stabbed him in the back of the knee to immobilize him. and if u stab someone right below there triceps it will paralyze there entire arm!(true fact.) and wen she had that cigarette she could have stuck it in his eye instead of his hands. anyway she ends up blowing his hand off with a rifle and escaping the island. in the end he gets the gun and we are left to believe that he killed himself. its not the best movie in the world but its something to watch at night wen ur rlly bored lol. (PS, Tara Reid looked great in those white shorts!)
