Poison Ivy The New Seduction: Why do they insist on turning these things into franchises?
26 May 2019
I didn't even realize they made a 3rd Poison Ivy movie, little did I realize that at time of writing there are 4. My question is why?

Following in the footsteps of Drew Barrymore and Alyssa Milano we see Jaime Pressly leading this erotic thriller about a manipulative seductress hell bent on tearing a family apart.

There is actually a loose connection to the original movie here but it may as well not exist, this straight to DVD mess is the definition of cash grab and demonstrates that some movies just don't need to become franchises.

Pressly delivers just fine amidst the very lackluster cast that includes the awful Greg "Charmed" Vaughan, the trouble is this is Lifetime movie stuff and really just made for television.

The plot is recycled, the execution is generic, it's like nobody was really trying, as if this movie was just an excuse to get Pressly nude.

If you like the original then watch it again and forget about the "Sequels", this is even worse than number 2.

The Good:

Pressly is passable here

The Bad:

Really poor finale

Very uninspired stuff
