MiDNiTES FOR MANiACS presents the 20th Anniversary of this wildly erotic 1998 extravaganza! SCREAM queen Neve Campbell, looking to further distance herself from any good girl vibes lingering from her PARTY OF FiVE days, waded further into genre sleaze with John McNaughton’s totally unhinged erotic thriller.

Joining her is sultry 1990s bad girl Denise Richards (STARSHiP TROOPERS) and a couple of hunks by the names of Matt Dillon and Kevin Bacon. Dillon is the unbelievably hot, high school teacher with whom Richards seems to have a fixation. Campbell is the weirdo swamp-rat with multiple suspensions on her permanent record. How these four lives get further entangled is the joy of watching WILD THINGS, its plotting so full of twists, turns, fake-outs, and double crosses that it’s more like riding a roller coaster than watching a movie. Need a cherry on top? Bill Murray plays an ambulance-chasing trial lawyer. Rated (Hard) R.
