Wild Things
They're dying to play with you.
When teen debutante Kelly (Denise Richards) fails to attract the attention of her hunky guidance counselor, Sam (Matt Dillon), she cries rape, igniting a scandal that results in his arrest. Sam appeals to Ken (Bill Murray), a hack personal-injury lawyer who has never handled a case that couldn’t be helped by a prop neck brace. Soon, a second victim, Suzie (Neve Campbell), comes forward, and Detective Duquette (Kevin Bacon) discovers that the unfolding case is far from what it seems. With Daphne Rubin-Vega, Bill Murray.
“Blending the superheated emotions of Douglas Sirk with the soft-porn high-jinks of Russ Meyer, the result is steamy, ludicrous and very entertaining.” (Guardian)
“‘Wild Things’ is the kind of movie that gives gratuitous sex and violence a good name.” (Toronto Star)
“… a delightfully salacious, flesh-exposed romp that also requires a high degree of love for trash cinema.” (Rotten Tomatoes)
“..steamy, tawdry, gloriously over-the-top…” (TIME Magazine)
“Director John McNaughton’s grip is a bawdy mix of suspense, sex and silliness, all served up with a huge tongue sticking in his cheek. It’s a foamy mix, topped off by highly charged performances.” (The Hollywood Reporter)
