Wild Things | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

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.

Blending the superheated emotions of Douglas Sirk with the soft-porn high-jinks of Russ Meyer, the result is steamy, ludicrous and very entertaining.

In a perfect world, all bad movies would be as outrageously entertaining as Wild Things, a delirious wallow in sunbaked sleaze that revels in its own awfulness.

A lurid exploitation film disguised as a guessing game, Wild Things offers an opportunity to see reasonably respectable actors go slumming in swampy South Florida.

In the universe of Wild Things, innocence is a particularly lethal demon -- if it doesn't get you killed, it becomes too expensive to hang on to. To play this theme for such delicious, wicked laughs is a mark of true imaginative intelligence.
