The always challenging transition from adorable child performer to sexy adult star was achieved flamboyantly by actress Drew Barrymore with this erotic drama that unfolds like a paranoia-drenched Lolita (1962). Sylvie Cooper (Sara Gilbert) is a misanthropic student at a private high school for children of the privileged. While calling in a phony bomb threat to the TV station where her father, Darryl (Tom Skerritt) is a producer, Sylvia attracts the attention of Ivy (Drew Barrymore). Ivy is an orphan from a poor family, attending the school on a scholarship. She and Sylvia quickly become best friends, and Ivy eventually moves out of her aunt's home and into the Cooper household. Ivy covets the Coopers' lavish lifestyle and luxuries, so she begins plotting to kill Sylvie's ailing mother Georgie (Cheryl Ladd), then seduce the alcoholic Darryl and frame Sylvie for the crime, thus taking over the Cooper house. Director Katt Shea Ruben and her co-writer husband Andy Ruben were veterans of the Roger Corman school of filmmaking. The success of Poison Ivy (1992) on video and cable television inspired a pair of sequels, Poison Ivy 2: Lily (1996) and Poison Ivy: The New Seduction (1997). ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

Loved it! Drew Barrymore and Tom Skerritt, Wow! This one will give you chills and keep you on the edge of your seat. You never know how messed up some people really are.

This was the First one, so understanding that, it is good as your basic Thriller Movie, The Poison Ivy Movies after this one, got Sexier and Sexier, but this one was kinda mellow. It is good to see what Drew Barrymore looked like when she first started getting the good parts. And this is one of the few Movies where you can actually see Drew Barrymore's Breasts. So that's worth watching it right there. :)

Good movie ! Kinda slow and not exaclty what I was expecting it to be, but I like it. The acting by Drew Barrymore was amazing and she look very pretty in this movie. My only disapoint was that I was expecting a more perverted movie and to see more skin; the movie shows nothing not even in the unrated version.

I'm surprised by all the reviews on this movie. I have to say that the acting is the weakest I've seen from these great actors ever. It comes off as a student film more than anything. A few beautifully designed shots and that's it. Even on fast foward, it wasn't worth it just to get to the 'good parts'. The scenes between Drew and the father figure come off as creepy and disgusting, rather than thrilling or erotic or dangerous. We didn't even take the time to fast forward it to the end. We got about half way through and gave up. Sad.
