On a Satanic side note, while the film totally sucked, I was tickled by the fact that one of the cast members was named John Dee- the very same name as the English mathematician and occultist who is credited with developing the Enochian language and keys along with Edward Kelley.

That’s where any and all similarities end though, with Rosemary’s Baby being a masterpiece of psychological filmmaking and Bay Cove being utter bullshit. But hey, it’s got Woody Harrelson for some cheap network promotion of Cheers.

The comparison to Rosemary’s Baby was made due to similarities in the two films’ stories, both being about new homeowners who gain the attention of a coven of witches seeking to recruit them into their ranks.

So, was it better than Rosemary’s Baby? HELL no, but I appreciate the individual on IMDB who said it because they at least gave me a chuckle. Bay Cove actually licks all kinds of ass, and it doesn’t even compete with Rosemary’s Baby’s credits sequence let alone anything else.

When a TV movie has an ad for its television premiere that looks like this and yet a reviewer still dares to claim that it’s “better than Rosemary’s Baby,” you know you’ve found yourself a reviewer with a pair of balls on them. I decided to play along.

In the end this was just a subpar Blair Witch imitation whose first half was notably better than its second half. In the absence of a forest to get lost in, it instead consisted of the characters arguing and coming to blows. Not much else going on with this one.

My favorite scenes in the film were the ones without people ruining them- basically the shots of the camera capturing the eerie solitude in the halls and stairwells of the school after hours.

Valentina Kolaric is an attractive gal who made the film easy to watch despite the fact that nothing terribly interesting happens in it.

Here we see Annie doing her best Heather Donahue impersonation, and her cameraman Kurt (played by Vince Major) apparently stole Heather’s hat as well. I won’t ruin one of the other Blair Witch rip-off scenes, but it’s embarrassingly borrowed.

The film juxtaposes flashback footage of Annie and her small crew investigating and conducting interviews against the later footage of her team witnessing all hell breaking loose on their last night of filming in the halls of the school.

During the course of the team’s investigation, of course they somehow manage to get themselves into spending a night locked in the school with no way out until morning.

Annah “Annie” Monroe (played by the lovely Valentina Kolaric) is a young journalist who was covering a story about a professor and his student who went missing from Santa Maria College in Bakersfield, California.

So yeah, what we have here is another low-budget found footage film that wants very badly to be The Blair Witch Project (1999). It distinguishes itself by setting its story in a school instead of a forest, but there were more similarities than differences.

And once again, another 1970s TV movie decimates modern horror. This one definitely had quite a few ideas that were well ahead of their time, and a sobering message about computers and identity theft that we’d have been wise to heed.

Our group is then met with some unforeseen challenges, like the computer trying to kill each one of them. But was it the computer after all, or was it something more diabolical?

After Avery has second thoughts about any further involvement, the group sends Karen McMillan (played by Stefanie Powers) to get him back on board since they need his assistance in throwing authorities off their trail.
December 3, 2025 at 2:54 AM
Stefanie Powers is this film’s eye candy, and while she’s not my particular flavor of choice, her acting is more than adequate for the part of Karen McMillan that she’s playing.
December 3, 2025 at 2:53 AM
Avery works his computer nerd magic and before you know it, he has given life to the nonexistent Henry Norman, the titular paper man- a man metaphorically constructed from sheets of paper and plastic cards containing information.
December 3, 2025 at 2:52 AM
We’re then introduced to Avery Jensen (played by Dean Stockwell), a computer wiz that the group recruits to help them clear any charges that they’re racking up on the credit card so their little scheme won’t be discovered by authorities.
December 3, 2025 at 2:52 AM
The story opens with four college friends who decide to take advantage of a credit card that was mistakenly issued to someone who does not exist. They use their university’s computer to counterfeit an entire identity for the person it’s issued to.
