“People aren't always what they appear to be. Don't forget that.”

Still a bit of youth sentiment. Wild Things is mysterious, sexy as hell, exciting at times and has so many plot twists that it will make you dizzy at some point. The first time I watched this movie was mainly for Denise Richards and she is still stunning. Strong roles also for Dillon, Bacon, Murray (hilarious) and especially Campbell.

The story starts very strong and it is all very atmospheric. The calm direction, the hidden tension, the summery images and above all the great music. You're basically in the movie from minute one. The second part has too many plot twists and especially Bacon's role in the mystery is one too many for me. The eventual "victor" is a nice twist and completely justified. Especially if you watch the ending credits. Still a very entertaining movie.

Imagine yourself back in time, the late 90s. Seen the 4k transfer, image is fine and sound (music pieces) is wonderfully crisp and fat sounding. Unfortunately, the film's story quickly derails, with so many twists that it just becomes laughable. It's also a shame to see how a beautiful woman like Denise Richards still has those ugly fake breasts. Doesn't look like. Acting is not good, real amateur level. Maybe it still fits that time, but I found it disturbing.

Meh.

The story is ruined by too many unbelievable plot twists, and besides that it doesn't really draw anything anyway. Too many of the actors and actresses were overhyped at the time and didn't show anything that turned out to be worthwhile, overshadowing what might have turned out to be something. And then again, who even thought of putting that ugly wig on Neve Campbell's head. Professional ban, death penalty, excommunication, away with that.

Other than that, the entire cast is really disappointing. Only Kevin Bacon makes it a bit, who would have thought.

A monument to how important directing is to a film. In the negative sense.
