Devil's Diary

This is a made for TV Canadian movie. A teen girl plays a prank on her friend at a cemetery, leading to the discovery of an evil object. Ursula, the moody one, finds a blank diary by a gravestone which she believes is something special, although her friend Dominique pooh poohs that idea.

When kids at school pick on Ursula, she writes revenge tales in the diary, which come true. The head of the mean girls, Heather, instigates her entourage to steal the diary, but she finds it empty. It's because another of the entourage, falling under the power of the diary, has kept the real thing for herself and uses it for her own devices.

Meanwhile, Dominique, concerned about the strange change in Ursula's demeanor, consults her local priest. He and another priest realize the Devil's diary is real and tries to get the diary back. Dominique tries to form an intervention for Ursula but it is too late.


The story tries to be all serious to bring in a religious element, but it really boils down to a typical teen story of cliques pushing the boundaries of basic cable television. All the girls are jailbait-looking, except when they are supposed to be nerds. The actress playing Dominique (Alexz Johnson) is the only one who had any acting range, and the dialogue and special effects throughout were bad and unoriginal. At first the story appears to be that Ursula will be the main character, exacting revenge a la Carrie, but changes it to Dominique being the heroine, which I liked.
