I was forced into watching this. For some reason, Greg Evigan, of "BJ and the Bear", and Catherine Hicks, of "Seventh Heaven" and "Star Trek IV" are in this movie. I learned that when women go to college, they spend alot of time going to boutiques and changing their hair color. As I was watching it, I noticed how cheerful the set design was, despite the fact that this movie is supposed to be suspenseful and full of ominous portent. The antagonist and the protagonist are both women, and the movie involved alot of changing of hairstyles, nail color, fashion accessories, hairstyles, patent leather belts, hairstyles, and so forth. Some of the hairstyles are so outrageous, they distract from the plot of the movie. The plot is very straightforward but includes a lot of gratuitous sensuality introduced in non-sequitor situations that makes the scenes rather comical. It wasn't intended to be comical, but that's how it turns out, so in this respect, the movie is very enjoyable. The performances are okay though many scenes seem out of place. It's sort of like a soap opera that has adult scenes played out in R+ rating, or a Harlequin Romance, where every personality must fit into a social stereotype. It's unintentionally upbeat and cheerful in mood despite it's intended purpose. Mystery Science Theatre 3000 would have a field day with this movie.

well, I had originally bought this film because I am a hard core Degrassi fan, and in the show my favorite character would have to be Emma. As you can probably tell the "young woman" who plays Emma in Degrassi plays our lovely protagonist in the new poison ivy movie, Miriam Macdonald. I was not expecting much from her as an actress after seeing her in Sci-Fi channel's original movie "Sea Beast" but she exceeded my expectations in this film. I will warn you now there is a lot of sex in this movie, and there is some unneeded nudity as well when the ivy sorority in inducting new members. I'm not going to get into the plot because the one posted by Amazon was pretty near accurate

WARNING TO PARENTS: this is not the kind of movie you should buy for you daughter just because she likes Degrassi:The Next generation, because there is graphic sex scenes and pretty hard core violence
