Features: DVD, Pan and Scan (TV Format), Dolby Digital (5.1), Dolby Surround Sound, French, Dubbed & Subtitled
A surprising tale of deceit, sex and greed set in steamy south Florida. Starring Kevin Bacon, Neve Campbell, Matt Dillon and Denise Richards.
Editor's Note
A seemingly virtuous high school guidance counselor, Sam Lombardo (Matt Dillon), is accused of raping students Kelly (Denise Richards) and Suzie (Neve Campbell). Ken Bowden (Bill Murray), an oddball attorney, and Detective Ray Duquette (Kevin Bacon) come to Lombardo's aid, unraveling a much larger blackmail scheme involving some of the town's least suspicious residents.WILD THINGS, a veering, breakneck ride, proved surprisingly successful at the box office. It features director John McNaughton's (HENRY PORTRAIT OF A SERIAL KILLER, NORMAL LIFE) best talents: sinuous, layered storytelling, racy cinematography, and shocking plot twists. Richards and Campbell sizzle on the screen as they tease, seduce, and entrap. Lying somewhere between black comedy and psycho thriller, WILD THINGS is an unclassifiable, unforgettable original.
Plot Summary
A high school guidance counselor is accused of raping a well-to-do student as well as a not-so-wealthy student. Defending himself with the aid of an eccentric attorney turns into more than he bargained for in this tale of double and triple crosses that includes a rather well known ménage à trois.

5 of 5 Awesome and then some!!!!! Tuesday, December 21, 1999
theboyathome from Baltimore, Maryland
This movie is like that!! You have to watch it. It has more turns than a back road and it will keep you on the edge. Watch it until it comes to a complete halt! It unfolds as good as any suspense book would. Denise Richards is Eye Candy all the way through and Kevin Bacon picked a good one to Executive Produce. I want this on DVD!!!! Was this review helpful?

kands from Lake Havasu, AZ
A suspenful who-done-it, kept us guessing the whole way through. Actually watched the movie three times and thought it got better each time. Denise Richards is hot and Kevin Bacon, Neve Campbell and Matt Dillon keep you wondering...who get's the money! Was this review helpful?

If you're looking to be entertained this is a great avenue to explore. Wonderful characters and enough twists to keep you guessing. They could not have picked a better cast! I rented knowing nothing about this movie and was very happily surprised by the mood and pace! Enjoy! I think you will! Was this review helpful?
5 of 5 Sex, Scandal and Murder Wednesday, June 02, 1999
Josh Arthur from Manhattan
This movie was inspiring! At first it seems all its about is the steamy sex scenes(which isn't bad), but then comes the plot. Was this review helpful?

5 of 5 2 Girls, A Guy, and an Aligator Farm. Sunday, May 16, 1999
RobertD from Long Beach, Ca
Actually the movie is really good, even forgetting about the steamy scenes, which is a little hard to do. The plot is fairly obvious, although there are still a few surprises, even for those who think they've got it figured out half-way through. This movie is a must own for any fan of Suspense movies.
