Wild Things

(Columbia TriStar)

In South Florida's upper-crust town of Blue Bay, dope-smoking, wrong-side-of-the-swamper Neve Campbell and social-elite prom queen/porn star Denise Richards both cry rape and point the finger at high-school guidance counselor Matt Dillon. With jawdropping lines, cheesy threesomes, cat fights, and a jungle-beat background, Wild Things is a sexy, darkly comedic suspense thriller that seems to be making fun of suspense thrillers -- a kind of Baywatch-meets-Heathers. With Bill Murray and Kevin Bacon (who also produced).
