This is one of the best horror movies I have seen it is very scary. It has a great story line. It also has great acting. It also great special effects. It is very scary. It got 5.2 which is a good ratting. But kind of the low of this movie. You may not want to watch this movie alone. Because really this is scarier then The Shinning and that is not easy to do. This is scarier then A Nightmare on elm street and that is not easy to do. I give it a 9. 5.2 is underrating it. This is scarier then Halloween resurrection could ever be. This movie is scarier then Friday the 13th V a new beginning and that is not easy to do.

Normally I can overlook the fact that a movie I'm watching might not be the most original idea ever introduced, but BAY COVE is an unforgivable conglomeration of occult story ideas culled from much better movies, including (but hardly limited to) THE SENTINAL, DEVIL'S RAIN, RACE WITH THE DEVIL, THE OMEN, ROSEMARY'S BABY, etc. and so on. The entire plot is pushed in your face right from the start, and there are no surprises whatsoever. The viewer is literally led by the hand from one plot device to the next and they couldn't be more obvious if there were flashing neon signs attached to them all. Whatever you think might happen next...does.Movie fans looking for unintentional laughs might at least glean some enjoyment. I was amused by the graveyard situated on a beach (yes, a beach, and only yards from the water at that!).Unless you're new to the occult thriller genre, there's nothing here we haven't seen a million times before and a million times since. Avoid like the devil.

Not meant to be taken too seriously. The plot moves quickly and there is never a scene that is an obligatory "gross out." After a slow start body the story it picks up quickly and it really keeps you on your toes with the psychological teasing.The acting is not bad and is about as convincing it needs to be for a TV movie (1950's TV mom Barbara Billingsly is in it). The plot does drag on when the main character suspects the secret of the island town. It doesn't take long for your, "rationality senses" to kick on and you start to think the Pamela Sue Martin character is just plain crazy for not leaving when she has a chance instead of trying to find allies where she suspects none exist.As a cheap buy its not a bad movie, but its quality goes down as the price goes up.

I really miss not seeing Pamela Sue Martin as Nancy Drew. This movie is almost a continuation of that role as she moves to an island [without Gilligan] off the Maine coast that is infested with witches. Tim Matheson of "Buried Secrets" is her handsome husband and Barbera Billingsley plays against type as a chilling housekeeper. There's not much of a psychological developement to this movie, but there's a lot of gripping scenes as Martin learns something may be wrong as all her friends keep dying strange deaths. This movie could also be a reprise of her "Poseidon Adventure" character if you count Woody Harrelson of "Cheers" as the adult version of her little brother from that movie. Susan Ruttan and James Sikking also have compelling roles in this as just two of the witches who wish her harm. The special effects are light but excellant and the ending is just a little anti-climactic. If I had made this movie, Pamela would be warring mano-a-mano with sorcery of her own. I really love this movie, but for some reason I wish the Bots and Mike at MST3K had gotten ahold of it and riffed it a little.
