Wild Things stars Neve Campbell, Denise Richards, Matt Dillon, and Kevin Bacon and this guidance counselor gets accused of raping one of his students and from there we have a detective, mystery, erotic thriller in one movie. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this. There's so much more to this than meets the eye than just a boring erotic movie that can have too much erotic and not enough thriller and vice versa. But this does a good job balancing out these categories and don't get me wrong I enjoy a good erotic movie as much as the next person, but there has to be more to a movie than just one specific subject. This could also pass for an Alfred Hitchcock movie if he was still alive. The score is so well done that I was intrigued to see where this would take me and it got even better and better when I watched it. Everyone played there parts perfectly including Denise Richards whom I'm not a big fan of hers but this role was perfect for her and Neve Campbell will always be my 90s crush who displays the right amount of toughness and gothic without overdoing it. Even Bill Murray who isn't quite what you expect when watching this type of genre. The movie kept it short sweet and simple and not once was I bored or a scene didn't drag forever so we could see what the conclusion to this whole mystery was. Overall, the movie did its job it knew what it was going to be and this movie shows that all you need is a right cast, a script that's not too complicated to follow, and most importantly confidence and hats what this movie proves my point.

First of all, it's a great thriller because you can't guess a so twisty plot. Then it's interesting because for one time we have a movie that shows elite as lusty and corrupter instead of being our constant models! At last, we have the sex issues: indeed, it's a Hollywood production that features all tastes and mixes and one more time, we don't have the usual content as here it's very graphic! For sure, Denise Richards is really exciting with her greats tits and crazy curves: the pool scene was a favorite in the beginning of Internet! In a way, for me, this movie hunts on the same territory as Showgirls (same new level on nudity, Hollywood stars and dream not that so pure and angelic) and it's not a surprise that both Denise and Dillon would later work with Verhoeven because we find the same vibes.

I am unable to discuss the full storyline of this movie. My disk gave in about five minutes to the end, it was during the second of the revealing scenes after The End appeared on- screen. But I don't think Kelly is dead. No way.Herewith just my nomination for Denise Richards for the RavenGlam title Most Beautiful Girl On Film Ever. Yes, I have others contending for that title here at ElectricLadyLand, but certainly, Ms. Richards is a most viable contender. The "I was raped" tearful confession to her mother features the best close-up of a girl's face I have ever, and that is Ever, seen, and she was crying tears, so I am forever gonna remember this one, it is just bunny-nosed beautiful!As for the story, I would have preferred a more rock-solid male character. Oh, and laugh heartily now, but no freaking way could I take Neve "Julia PARTY OF FIVE Salinger" seriously - no way - she has proved she can only do one form of acting, ambling on in neutral gear, throwing in a regular fake little laugh. To think what was expected of her years and years ago when she appeared on the cover of Seventeen...Worth watching for Denise Richards alone. It is the one and final time that you truly, truly, truly get your money's worth...
