this was so bad but also so good? this was one of the horniest movies i’ve ever seen, and the amount of twists got ridiculous by the end but i honestly didn’t predict any of them. the acting was sometimes atrocious but every single actor was SO HOT i simply forgave them. i…

The twists had me gagged. This felt like 3 movies in one omg. You could never predict what was happening next. This movie was such a serve.

Wild Things

i liked this movie, but i only disliked it because it was insanely confusing. the scenes just kept jumping back and forth and there wasn’t much explanation to things that needed to be explained. it was a great movie though but i’d recommend watching twice to be less confused.

I can’t believe I waited 23 years to finally see this! Even more shocking is that I was also able to avoid spoilers and went into this completely blind (plot wise 😉). It’s not a great movie, it oozes late 90s, but it did keep me guessing until the very end!

Wild Things

The acting wasn’t good. Maybe it is just because of when it was filmed. Just not for me. Several familiar names: Matt Damon, Kevin Bacon, Neve Campbell and Denise Richards. Bill Murray and Robert Wagner have parts in this film. The crew actually found a dead body while filming.

Wild Things

the girls were smiling in a creepy way in the beginning… other than that some questionable acting at times. unnecessary sexualization of supposed high schoolers. very male gaze driven. tacky plot twists. also the suzy thing made no sense. generally badly executed movie.

Wild Things

It is a wildly fun, twist loaded ride that never takes itself too seriously. The story keeps you guessing, the cast leans into the chaos, and the slick, good looking “cinematography” adds a nice layer without stealing the spotlight.
