_**Fatal attraction involving a high school girl and her teacher**_ In the Los Angeles area, a teenager (Rose McGowan) has to move in with her strict grandmother after a dubious house fire kills her mother & boyfriend. At her new school she sets her sights on the creative writing teacher (Alex McArthur), who already has a serious girlfriend (Sherrie Rose). “Devil in the Flesh” (1998), also known as “Dearly Devoted,” is a coming-of-rage drama/thriller cut from the same cloth as other lethal Lolita flicks like "Poison Ivy" (1992) and “The Crush” (1993), as well as earlier ones "Summer Girl" (1983) and "The Babysitter" (1980). It’s basically a variation of “Fatal Attraction” (1987) with a teenage female. This one has its nuances so it’s not an exact copy. It begins impressively with an artistic flair, so I was expecting the imaginative expertise of “Poison Ivy,” but it settles into a rather pedestrian story stressing the alluring power of a beautiful young woman combined with the foolish obsession of a teenager. Naturally, the best thing about it is sultry McGowan, who was 24 during shooting. But it has other entertaining bits, such as the catchy rock soundtrack featuring several no-name bands of the 90s. The film runs about 1 hour, 32 minutes, and was shot in Altadena, California, which is just north of Pasadena in the Los Angeles area. GRADE: B-/C+

Where the Wild Rose Grows

Ever since the phenomenally weird "The Doom Generation" I've had a wicked crush on Rose McGowan. Her natural bad-girl charisma and sexily shaped chin make her one of the most enticing actresses of her generation. Her starring in "Dearly Devoted" was therefore the sole reason I had for checking out the film, as you can already derive from the DVD-cover that it's a standard, by-the-numbers and rehashed nineties thriller. With its main theme of "dangerously seductive teenage femme fatale", "Dearly Devoted" is similar to "Poison Ivy" (starring Drew Barrymore) and "Wild Things" (starring Denise Richards) and almost identical to "The Crush" (starring Alicia Silverstone). Following the suspicious death of Debbie Strand's mother and her lover in a fire, the seemingly confused teenage girl is put under the custody of her strictly Catholic grandmother. At her new school, Debbie doesn't make a whole lot of friends, but she does fall in love with the hunky literature teacher Peter Rinaldi. It quickly becomes obvious that Debbie isn't your average high school girl, but an obsessive and deranged psychopath who kills in order to get what she wants. "Dearly Devoted" is identical to "The Crush" because the male protagonists go through exactly the same hell. They attempt to befriend their jailbait admirers and narrowly resist all the sexual allusions, but when they actually physically reject them down, both their private as professional lives turn into a living nightmare. "Dearly Devoted" is predictable and not at all suspenseful, but at least it's never boring and the female eye-candy compensates for the unoriginality. The twist-in-the-end is not exactly groundbreaking, neither, but at least it managed to trick me for a minute or so. Rose McGowan was 25 years old for this role in which she depicts an underage schoolgirl, but that's alright, because she looks terrific in all those skimpy outfits. Apparently there's also a sequel, but it doesn't star Rose.
