    Hot, Sticky, And Deadly...

    POISON IVY: THE NEW SEDUCTION is the third film in the lascivious "series". While it isn't anything Earthshaking, it's not bad at all. It's certainly an improvement over the dullness of the second movie.

    Violet (Jaime Pressly) is a psychopath who gleefully goes about ruining as well as taking lives. Her natural heat burns up all in her path, leaving only cinders behind. In a word, she's H-O-T!

    The plot is somewhat similar to the first movie, with Violet moving in with an old friend. She soon takes over the family through lies, sensuality, and multiple homicides. Violet is far more cunning and cold than Ivy ever was. This leads to more deceptions and a higher body count.

    Recommended for fans of erotic thrillers that live up to their billing...

    One of my favourite films.

    Okay, so it's not the most cinematically perfect film ever made but I think people can lose the point of watching movies these days. I like thought-provoking, or striking films as much as the next guy but there are some times you just want entertainment and the Poison Ivy films do that. I liked the first, didn't really go for the second but am happy with The New Seduction. Jaime Pressly looks fabulous and the plot is a bit contrived but heck, there have been a lot of far more stupid ideas that have cost ten times as much and featured A-list stars. It's good, honest, down to earth entertainment, but probably not a good date movie. You'll learn to love it.

    A feel good movie, know what I mean Vern?

    Yes this isn't high art, great writing, or anything else that you would expect from a movie. But nobody ever said it was supposed to be that. If you are looking for fine film or Oscar caliber performance look elsewhere. If your looking for one freakin erotic movie, sit down, your ship has come in. Jaime Pressly is ridiculously goddess-like hot and meant for worship in this standard erotic thriller. This is supposed to be a feel good movie, it gets it's job done and how!!!!!!!!!! I give it an 8 out of 10 based on the fact that it serves it's purpose and does what it's supposed to do. Winning Oscars ain't it. But neither are movies like Death Race 2000 or Enter The Dragon but they still rule!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Sexy entertainment. Jaime worths the watch. Believe me.

    Thank you Cinemax for airing these kind of movies at midnight. "Poison Ivy 3" is a steamy sequel that no one can dislike. It offers you the best about the B-movie industry: great sex scenes, an easy plot that many people would like to experience, and the best of all, beautiful (I mean, BEAUTIFUL!) women.

    The plot is similar to "Friend of the Family II" and "The Hand That Rocks the Craddle". This time the sexy nanny is the hot Jaime Pressly. The innocent victim is the also hot Megan Edwards.

    I always try to be objective in my movie reviews but this time I can't. This movie shouldn't be commented for it's plot, score, direction, etc. No. This movie is all about Jaime. People can't ignore the fact that she has a DELICIOUS body to die for. I can't even describe how hot she is. Her face is very sexy but menacing at the same time (which helps a lot for her character). Her performance is great mainly because male viewers fantasize about her. Her sex scenes are great! Could've used more explicitly (even the uncut version) but still deliver.

    Also, Megan Edwards is extremely sexy! Her beautiful and innocent face makes her more desirable because she has a spectacular hot body. Those legs, those eyes, that hips. MMMMH. I loved every scene where she walked in her mansion wearing that sexy mini skirt. Thank you Megan!

    What else can I say?! Poison Ivy 3 is entertaining and steamy. One of those movies that you can't say that you love because it wouldn't be moral correctly. I don't care. I love the movie for it's hot women and sex scenes. Deserves a watch.

    A good 90's sexy thriller, 2 stars for the movie, 3 for J.P, 1 for Merete Van Kamp for the 2 mins she was on screen.

    What do you say? The series just keeps getting better, watched them all as they came out in my 20's and we had an explosion of girls we grew up watching on tv becoming women, first Drew, then Alyssa and finally Jaime, well Jaime just came out of nowhere I think. All of them did justice to P. I. they were all very good looking and passed the sexy factor to pull the movie off hyping up the old men. The plots were always silly and fairly predictable, Violet goes way past the other 2 in showing skin, Pressly was not afraid to drop her garments back then before Earl, it's an 8 out of 10 just for Jaime alone lol, gotta love these old 90's cheap sex thrillers lol. Thrills, chills and a bit cable soft porn. Not as good as Wild Things, Basic Instinct, Cruel Intentions or that big budget type, but went all out on sets, backgrounds and scenery, cast was unknown but good. This one has Megan C Edwards as Joy and Shanna Moakler the Playboy Playmate to add to the mix of up and comers. Meghan did Tracing Cowboys, an independent film that was highly lauded for it's haunting theme and landscapes, just watching it now lol.
