Wild Things (1998) - Episode 55

“That's murder, kid.” We’re wallowing in the seamy, seedy and sleazy side of cinema with a new RErotica series. Following our delve into the Sharon Stone classic Basic Instinct, we’re back with another foray into a...formative film experience for several of our panel - John McNaughton’s nefarious, naughty 1998 neo-noir Wild Things.

Popular high school guidance counsellor Sam Lombardo (Matt Dillon) is accused of sexual assault by two students - imperiously wealthy society princess Kelly Van Ryan (Denise Richards) and twitchy trailer park denizen Suzie Toller (Neve Campbell). A dizzying array of double-crosses and betrayals follows as loose cannon cop Ray Duquette (Kevin Bacon) ignores his superiors’ instructions and pursues the seemingly closed case.

An infamous late-night TV classic of the 90s, our ostensibly more mature gang look to see if there’s more to enjoy beyond its more infamous scenes. You know the ones. Join Gali, Devlin, Patrick & Matt as they take a trip to wealthy Blue Bay for a head-rush cocktail of teen trash, black comedy and twisty thriller.
