Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Wuchak Released to video in 1997, "Poison Ivy: The New Seduction" is another Lethal Lolita flick after the success of the original 1992 film and 1993's "The Crush" (I never saw the 1996 sequel with Alyssa Milano). These types of movies always involve a blossoming young woman who seduces an older man and takes control in one way or another. Lethal Lolitas exist in real life, of course -- young vixens who use their beauty to cause havoc, ruin lives and take control. Trash exploitation or not, it's good fodder for a movie, particularly if it's done stylishly or effectively, like "Poison Ivy" and "The Crush." Of course, such stories are always overdone in movies, but that's the nature of the beast.This second sequel seriously ups the ante with the nudity (explicit T&A yet no frontal nudity), but simply lacks the artistic melancholy and style of the original, not to mention the budget. It's a pedestrian retread that tries to make up for it with overt nudity, but fails. While seriously inferior it's still somewhat worthwhile if you like these kinds of flicks; everyone else should flee since the story & characters are bland and dull. The filmmakers strive to reach the haunting aesthetic of the original but the budget cripples their efforts. Be that as it may, Jaime Pressly was 19 during filming (the same approximate age as the girl she plays) and looks superb, although her facial features never did anything for me. Other highlights in the female department are curvy Athena Massey (the brunette maid in the opening) and Shanna Moakler. Michael Des Barres and Greg Vaughan play the older and younger males enticed by Ivy respectively.The film runs 93 minutes and was shot in outer Los Angeles.GRADE: C (4.5/10)

Dave from Ottawa Fans of My Name is Earl looking for early erotica featuring beautiful Jamie Pressly, this is your buried treasure. Jamie plays a cynical young woman who invades an upscale home on false pretences and proceeds to debauch everybody in it, for reasons that remain obscure until near the end. It's trashy junk, of course, but great looking trashy junk which even shows occasionally cleverness in how New Ivy manipulates the squares. Moreover, the movie creates a few fairly clever visual motifs, with a lot of voyeuristic peeking around corners and from shadows, especially at the Ivy character, who is only too aware that she is being watched. Jaime is fun in the Ivy role and looks fab and nothing is to be taken too seriously here. There are no deeper truths being exposed here, just Jamie. Nothing is exactly PLAYED for camp, but the movie's makers had to be aware that that was a potential direction things might take, because it entertains mostly in that fashion. Keep expectations low, and you probably won't hate it.

Paul Andrews Poison Ivy: The New Seduction is set in Los Angeles & starts as a powerful banker named named Ivan Greer (Michael Des Barres) arrives home at his palatial mansion, looking for his wife Catherine (Marete Van Kamp) he finds his young & beautiful housekeeper Rebecca (Athena Massey) having passionate sex with the pool guy. Having an affair with Rebecca himself Ivan is not pleased to find out that she is the local bike & every bloke in the neighbourhood has had a ride, Catherine finds out about the affair & throws Rebecca & her young daughters Violet & Ivy out. Jump forward eleven years & Catherine is dead, Ivan is a single man living with his daughter Joy (Megan Edwards) when a grown up Violet (Jaime Pressly) comes calling looking for her childhood best friend Joy. Admitting she has nowhere else to go Violet is invited to stay at the Greer residence by Joy who is happy to see her again after over a decade but Violet has sinister motives for her sudden reappearance & has revenge on her mind...Directed by Kurt Voss this is the third entry in the Poison Ivy series of films that began with the dull & uneventful erotic thriller Poison Ivy (1992) where a young Drew Barrymore played the manipulative Ivy who is implied to be the sister of Violet although never really mentioned in any significant sense, that was followed by the truly terrible Poison Ivy II (1996) which was more of a moralistic bore than a steamy thriller with the central female character portrayed more as the victim than the evil aggressor & then we come to this, Poison Ivy: The New Seduction which the makers didn't even bother to number & is in fact easily the best of the series to this point by far. Having recently watched the first two I am surprised at how closely this follows the original Poison Ivy plot with some vampish young woman preying upon a rich family, manipulating the weak daughter & seducing the rich father while playing on the death of the mother right down to sleeping in her bed & wearing her clothes. In fact this could be mistaken for a remake rather than sequel that rectifies many of the negatives from the original Poison Ivy like giving it's female villain a motive, like giving the script a little bit of humour & pace, like giving Violet some deliciously deviant, sexy & downright evil sequences unlike the tepid & bland original. From some amusing moments like Violet convincing Joy's best friend they just all had a threesome together which makes her run a mile to Joy walking in on her father Ivan & Violet in the middle of a bondage session with her father handcuffed to the bed & Violet dressed in a hot leather dominatrix outfit. There's some pace about this one as the script keeps moving, the character's are decent with Violet in particular much more of a presence than Ivy was in the original. On the negative side the rushed beginning feels like an afterthought, it's hard to believe that Joy would invite Violet to stay in her house & just suddenly pick up being best friends after eleven years & it's never really made clear why Violet wants to ruin Joy's life so much despite her main gripe being with her father Ivan who she has revenge on anyway although it's not entirely clear what happens to him as he is merely seen sat in a car supposedly having been suffocated by exhaust fumes which is hard to believe & never confirmed one way or the other.Quite well filmed the one aspect of Poison Ivy: The new Seduction that stands out as another huge improvement over the original Poison Ivy is the casting of the lovely Jaime Pressly, man she is really sexy & just plain hot looking in this as opposed to Drew Barrymore who didn't fit the part of manipulative teen temptress that well at all. Her Jaime Pressly radiates sexiness, whatever she wears in any scene she is hot, from the leather dominatrix outfit she wears to the elegant red evening dress to her tight jeans & t-shirt girl next door look whatever she's in Pressly looks fantastic & is gorgeous. An added bonus is that there's lots more nudity than the previous two entries, again Pressly is just hot whether she's wearing something or not, her body is just great & is a real asset to the film as she has several nude scenes to show it off. I wouldn't say Poison Ivy: The New Seduction or Jaime Pressly are particularly erotic in a sensual way but they are hot in a sexy slutty top shelf magazine sort of way that is great to look at & admire if you know what I mean.Although the acting is alright it's the super sexy & hot Jaime Pressly who steals every scene she's in, sh seems to be having great fun playing the lying manipulative best friend home wrecker out for revenge & Pressly just look plain gorgeous in every scene she's in. Acting pro Susan Tyrrell has a small role role as a suspicious housekeeper & has some amusing moments facing off with Pressly as they trade insults & derogatory looks.Poison Ivy: The New Seduction is a massive improvement on the previous two forgettable & bland entries even if it follows the original in plot quite closely, it adds a little motivation & a dark humorous edge as well as the lovely Jaime Pressly who is super hot as Violet. I am not sure there are many more floral female names like Ivy, Lily & Violet with the next & so far final entry Poison Ivy: The Secret Society (2008) using the name Daisy, are there anymore?

LordHighWarlock Better than the second one, not quite as good as the original. Although, it WAS a valiant effort.Even though this was Jaime Pressly's fourth movie in 1997, it was her first in a lead role, thus she earned an introduction in this film.This one tried to utilize two aspects of the first two movies: drama / suspense from the first, and nudity / sex scenes from the second. Surprisingly, they managed to pull it off. However, this was more of a soft-core porn movie than a suspense / drama / thriller...every time they shot a sex scene, crappy music started playing at twice the volume of the rest of the movie. Not exactly an enjoyable experience.Additionally, this one actually tries to tie itself into the original...several scenes are linked to the original Ivy. Nice touch, in my opinion. This would have made a much better follow-up to the original than "Lily" did.And if you fantasize about Jaime Pressly, you'll like this one, despite her mediocre acting ability...she's nude quite often, and wears several different dominatrix outfits.
