Devil Girl

Plot synopsis:
Devil Girl follows the story of Fay on her trip across Route 66 after the death of her father, who happened to be a mechanic. Fay takes her father's muscle car and his wedding ring, and departs from her home after saying her farewells to her sister.
The story simultaneously follows the events of an overly medicated, nonsense-spewing young man in clown makeup, who appears to be dodging authorities whilst hopping from vehicle to vehicle along his travels. The clown stops at a gas station to steal a new ride; however, there is no vehicle to be found. The clown knocks out the cashier and steals the handy supply of drugs and junk food while a woman (the cowgirl) stops for gas. The clown then ties the woman up while Fay stops for gas. As Fay searches the station for a clerk the clown rummages through her car, stealing her wallet, and then leaves in the cowgirl's truck, which later breaks down.
After the clown takes a mysterious ride in the Devil Girl's flying vehicle, and Fay's car breaks down, both stop separately in an eerie, highly religious, nearby town. Fay takes a room in the local motel, using her father's ring as collateral, as her wallet was stolen earlier. The clown meets Fay and is speechlessly smitten by her. In an attempt to pay back her debts, Fay dances at the town's strip club. The local mechanic tells Fay that the part required to fix her car should be available after a week.
One night the clown decides to enter the strip joint and witnesses hallucinations, including a dance by the Devil Girl, before seeing Fay dance and being thrown out of the club. After being driven back to the motel by an interested young man, Fay is raped in her room by a masked man and assumes it was the clown, due to the fact that she saw him outside of her window. The next night, the clown is back at the strip club, only to be kicked in the face by Fay and once again thrown out. Fay leaves in a rage to be picked up by the Devil Girl, and the two partake in sexual activities.
The Devil Girl then confronts the local preacher and accuses him of being a pervert by nature, which is later revealed to be true when Fay attempts to retrieve her ring from the preacher, whom she was told by the motel owner was in possession of. Fay finds a young, naked man trapped in a cage below the church, and is then attacked from behind by the preacher, who is revealed to be her rapist, his identity betrayed by his mask. Fay stabs the preacher with a screwdriver and beats him with a two-by-four. She then frees the young man, and together they escape.
The motel owner is shown to have been in leagues with the preacher and takes off searching for Fay after discovering the preacher's body. The young man is picked up by a police officer while Fay takes off with the clown on a motorcycle. The clown brings Fay to her car, where she finds the keys in the ignition, and prepares to leave while the clown tries to explain his feelings, and the motel owner is gaining ground. Fay drives off with the motel owner in pursuit with a pistol in his hand. As the motel owner takes aim at Fay, the clown pulls up between the two and smacks the gun away.
As the vehicles are about to collide with a tractor tailor, it is revealed that all the events of the movie were actually a drug-induced hallucination, imagined by an overly medicated, soon to be released mental patient named Donald, who fantasized himself as the clown and his nurse Fay as his alter-ego's love interest. However, in the end the Devil Girl is shown to be real, and had actually killed the crooked preacher.

Review:
awesome cult movie!. In a world where teenage vampires are the pop norm, "Devil Girl" is a welcome breath of fresh air. An aggressive soundtrack, creepy, surreal imagery and a fast paced mind f@%! of a story makes for a really unique counter culture film.While admittedly the story is far from typical,(and frankly, oddly amorphous)it is fun feeling that at any moment, that which seems to be reality might be revealed as yet another head trip fantasy. With its fast cars, sexy girls and psychedelic drugged out visuals, this is a flick for fans of movies like "Natural Born Killers" and "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas." Some folks just aren't going to get it, but for others, it is cult dynamite.. How do you screw up a human/demon lesbian sex scene? These filmmakers found a way.. This is an 80something minute long version of a Rob Zombie music video, but with not nearly enough nudity, violence and general depravity to justify its existence. There's enough interesting and provocative imagery here to sustain about 4 minutes of screen time. The rest of Devil Girl is an extended demonstration of how these filmmakers don't know what the hell they're doing.The feeble excuse for a story concerns Fay (Jessica Graham), a young woman who decides to journey along historic Route 66 after the death of he mechanic father, and a guy wearing clown make-up (Joe Wanjai Ross) who pops pills, babbles a lot and is apparently on some sort of crime spree. Fay and the Clown wind up stuck in the same worthless dessert town, where Fay has to take a job as a stripper and winds up dry humped in her motel room by a guy in a leather mask and the Clown just sort of wanders around. Fay and the Clown both encounter or hallucinate a red-skinned Devil Girl (Vanessa Kay), complete with horns and a pointy tail. Devil Girl strips for the Clown, has sex with Fay and confronts the town preacher (C. J. Baker). After implying that what's going on is real, a medically induced fantasy and some sort of purgatory, the film ends with one of those fake-outs that are supposed to blow your mind but only prove that nobody involved with this production had a clue as to what sort of story they were telling or why.Aside from a few decent visuals like Devil Girl herself, Jessica Graham turns in a nice and believable performance. There's also some female nudity here, though the movie goes long stretches without it. Umthat's about it for the positives of Devil Girl.The negatives? Well, this movie lists the bands on the soundtrack in the opening credits, so I knew right away there were going to be a lot of problems. I mean, who puts soundtrack contributors in the opening credits of their movie? Devil Girl has only the vestigial remains of a plot, dialog that ranges from the mundane to the banal and acting that would just barely cut the mustard at most community theaters, but I think I can sum up the plain and simple lameness of this film by looking at just one scene.You'd think that when Fay and Devil Girl have sex, it would at least be some cheap titillating fun. Jessica Graham and Vanessa Kay are both quite attractive and how can you go wrong with a human-demon lesbian tryst? Well, filmmakers Tracy Wilcox and Howie Askins found a way. To start with, most of the scene happens in shadow and what we can see is illuminated in red light. That means you can't see the contrast between the flesh of Fay and Devil Girl. Then it's all edited together in such a quick and random manner that it is impossible to tell what's being done and who is doing it to whom. The only purpose of the scene is to satisfy a little prurient interest and Wilcox and Askins can't get out of their own way enough to do it.The bottom line on Devil Girl is that it's too dull and pointless to make it as an ordinary film, yet also lacks the excessive gore, sex and otherwise shocking material to qualify as some sort of out-there, taboo breaking experience. Skip it.. Devil Girl. 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.. Who knew road trips could be this boring?. DEVIL GIRL is an awful little indie thriller that tries to be an edgy road movie and fails at every step. It involves a maladjusted young woman interacting with various weird characters she meets en route to her destination (to nowhere), chiefly a kooky guy in clown make-up who shows up to irritate the viewer at regular intervals. The supporting cast seems to be entirely made up of creeps and weirdos, while our underacting protagonist hides out in motel rooms and cries a lot. It's extremely lame.
