Late one night, she and two other students take part in an initiation ritual at the Ivy household. But when an error in her tuition payments threatens to erase her name from the college system, she is left with no choice but to agree. Daisy initially refuses, preferring to continue her studies and consummate her relationship with Blake. Upon learning that one of the considered candidates is Daisy, she invites her to join the Ivies.

Her first week as a college freshman makes a big impression, not only attracting the notice of the dean's handsome son Blake, but also singling her out for a prestigious internship in Washington D.C.īlake quickly becomes infatuated with Daisy and asks her out on a date, much to the disapproval of his father, Professor Andrew Graves.ĭaisy's arrival also piques the interest of the Ivy Society, a close-knit secretive sisterhood to whom the lucrative scholarship is traditionally granted. Poison Ivy isn't anything special, which in the thriller genre of this type, I've seen better, but it's quite fun nevertheless, at times, dangerous fun too.Recently orphaned country girl Danielle "Daisy" Brooks leaves her ranch and her boyfriend William behind to pursue her college degree, and transfers to Berkshire college, an elite New England private school haunted by the mysterious death of a young college student, Alexis Baldwin. The dog fetching scene between Barrymore and Gilbert was annoying, and there were some predictable moments, like foreseeing that car car crash, that had Barrymore running off in Daddy's pride and joy with Sylvie, and after the crash, turning the blame on the other, though the latter wasn't predicted. The film does have suspense here and there, and the shot with Ladd pushed off the balcony falling to her quicker doom, was wonderfully and impressively shot, an experimental shot, you could call it. Cheryl Ladd as Sylvie's ailing mother, doesn't have much to say but it's a memorable and respectful performance, probably the film's best while Skeritt as Sylvie's Dad is Skeritt, just how we usually like him. The movie's fun as to see what Barrymore has in store next.
She befriends an introverted but very opinionated girl, Sylvie (Rosanne's Sarah Gilbert, who very good here) and worms her way into her rich household.

On the whole, the movie is a lot of fun, where viewers will mostly be captured by Barrymore's performance. Too we have a frank scene near the start, where a dog is roadkill, another scene that warrants the R.
#POISON IVY 2 UNRATED DVDRIP PLUS#
Poison Ivy is a by the numbers Fatal Attraction type of movie, with some small thrills, shock moments, plus some tame sex scenes, as mistakenly implied to the viewer by it's R rating, one brief moment including Skeritt and Drew, doing it in the buff, which probably was more more wise, considering the age difference. Poison Ivy marks Drew Barrymore's return to the big screen, and it's an impressive comeback, as a sexy seductress.
