Paradise Cove: A suspenseful thriller that delivers in an entertainment desert!

Paradise Cove is a suspense driven thriller revolving around a small and intimate cast. The stage is set when young couple Knox & Tracey arrive in Malibu to begin a renovation project at Knox's late mother's home.

Knox & Tracey have outstanding chemistry as Guigui and writer Sherry Kline slowly reveal more about the couple's personal struggles as the story unfolds. From questionable choices made by Knox's deceased mother to fertility issues as they try to conceive, which is made all the more difficult by the stress that the project is putting on the couple. I would like to point out that Guigui and Kline managed to touch upon several social issues throughout, namely the subject of infertility and how the world reacts to it. Several scenes allow for Suvari to express an unspoken despair of someone who wants more than anything to be a mother, but is struggling to make that a reality. Add in Knox having problems with zoning that interfere with the plans that he has, the couple already have quite a bit on their plate. Enter Bree, the unhinged and unwelcome guest that they just cannot manage to escape!

Bree is a force to say the least. A very original antagonist, Bree is a homeless woman that torments the couple, who just want peace. Bree brings with her an energy that is very original and yet familiar at the same time. The best way to describe her is if you combined a femme fatale with Hannibal Lector. She somehow manages this odd combination of seductive and attractive, while also pulling off the dirty and homeless vibe, but ALWAYS with an edge of unbalance madness

We won't go too far into the plot, as it unfolds spectacularly around the three main characters, as well as a parade of minor characters that help round out the various situations happening to each character. Guigui & Kline also manage to explore another social dynamic very well; homelessness. The film looks at the concept from several different angles, which really seems to point out the fact that it is an extremely complicated situation that doesn't have one simple answer.
