Poison Ivy: The New Seduction

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...

If you were to ask me who are my current favorites when it comes to women, I'd say Tina Barrett, Kira Reed, Catherine Bach (in her prime) and Shannon Whirry, but the one I'd love to meet first would be Jaime Pressly (or Tina Barrett). Pressly, a former Playboy Playmate, is the sexiest woman around, but sadly, her movie roles since this one have been for the likes of "Jerry Springer's Ringmaster", "Tomcats", and "Teen Movie", movies that I wouldn't even go see for free because they're awful. I usually wait until they're on video as part of 2 for 1s.

Like these movies, Pressly first staring role is also in a BAD film. A sequel to the Poison Ivy movies, Pressly plays the sister of Drew "Available" Barrymore who's come to wreak havoc on the family who ruined her life. Much like others in this genre, she seduces family members and a woman's fiancé to ruin the family.

From Pressly's first scene, where she gets out of the car and the camera pans her from her well-developed legs to her face, to the end, she dominates the film. She plays pure evil to the hilt, yet you cheer for her. If she wasn't in the film, this would be the worst film in history. Everyone else delivers a performance so bad that you're praying for Violet to ruin this family's structure fast. Susan Tyrell, who plays a meddling Euro maid who you'll really hate, and Athena Massey who plays a whiny, wimpy, spoiled rich girl, are the lowlights here. The film is slow, the dialogue is weak, and the direction is plodding. However, if this movie is on T.V., at least take a short look at it, because whether she's clothed or nude, there are very few, if any women in show business who are as much as a SEXBOMB as Jaime Pressly. O.K. Tina Barrett, too LOL.

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow! Violet's mom (Athena Massey) and the pool boy don't waste any time in getting down to business, and we aren't 10 minutes into the movie when a grown up Violet (Jaime Pressly) is showing us everything she has in the bathtub. This is a good start.

Soon she is servicing Joy's (Megan Edwards) fiancée Michael (Greg Vaughan), and getting daddy (Michael Des Barres) all excited swimming topless.

It is so fun to see what Violet's devious mind will come up with next.

I enjoyed seeing Susan Tyrrell (Buddy Boy) again.

This is definitely Jaime Pressly's most skintastic performance and one you will never see again now that she has hit the big time.

Well I watched and reviewed the first two films in this series, so I figured what the hell, I'll just finish the trilogy up. Jaime Pressly stars as Violent, a teenage vixen who feeling betrayed that her mother (who was also this family's maid) was fired for having an affair with the father , a decade or so later decides to move in with the family who 'wronged' her mom and proceeds to use her best asset, her body, to get revenge. Is this film good in a conventional sense? Nope. Artistically? Haha not at all. In fact the only true reason to see this is Jaime Pressley herself, who ups the T7A quotient exponentially.

Eye Candy: Athena Massey gets topless once; Jaime Pressly shows hers multiple times and her ass once.

My Grade: C
