Wild Things

Starring: Kevin Bacon, Neve Campbell, Matt Dillon, Bill Murray

Directed by: John McNaughton

RS: 3of 4 Stars

1998 Thriller

It's got trust-fund cheerleaders, white trash, Kevin Bacon naked, alligator wrestling, Neve Campbell and Denise Richards making out, all the plot twists and double-crossing of a James Ellroy novel, Neve Campbell and Denise Richards having a catfight in a swimming pool and Bill Murray as a sleazy neck-brace-wearing lawyer. But after all that, the best part comes over the closing credits, when Campbell pulls out one of her own teeth with a pair of pliers.
