Poison Ivy: The New Seduction
Tags: revenge, murder

Plot synopsis:
In 1985, Ivan and Catherine Greer live with their 9-year-old daughter, Joy, their housekeeper, Rebecca, and her two daughters, Ivy, 9, and Violet, 8. The three young girls live as sisters, but the more rambunctious Ivy is bored by their childish games of tea and rejoices at Ivan's unexpected early day return from the office, saying, "There's going to be fireworks."
Ivy's prediction soon comes true. Ivan catches Rebecca in bed with the handsome pool boy, and the two men scuffle. As Ivan tends to his wounds, he and Rebecca begin a loud argument about their adulterous affair. The shouting brings Catherine's attention from the garden. Upon learning of the affair, she immediately evicts Rebecca and her children.
In 1996, Violet returns to the Greer home and is reunited with Joy for the first time in eleven years. Violet states that she is looking for a summer time residence while working as a waitress at Denny's Restaurants and planning to attend the local junior college. Joy suggests that she reside with them and stay in the late Catherine's room. Joy is an amateur tennis star and engaged to her boyfriend from Princeton University, Michael, who will be working as an intern for Joy's father's bank.
During a late night party, Violet feels isolated and ridiculed by Joy's Ivy League friends, and excuses herself for late shift work. Afterward, Michael takes Joy to her room and initiates foreplay, only to be rejected. He accuses Joy of being sexually frigid, and insultingly says he understands her father's infidelity. As Michael is on his way out, he runs into Violet, who is dressed in a sadomasochistic costume, which causes him to question her employment at Denny's. Violet states that the two have gotten off on the wrong foot, and proceeds to perform oral sex on him.
Violet's obsession with Joy motivates her to destroy all of her other relationships. When her tennis partner, Jaimie comes over to practice with Joy, Violet spikes their drinks with alcohol and then undresses into her bra in bed with the unconscious and handcuffed Jaimie, convincing her the two have just engaged in sex. A horrified, half clothed, and handcuffed Jaimie flees the Greer house, thus ending their friendship.
Michael is Violet's next target. While by the Greer pool, she convinces him Joy has been unfaithful and seduces him into sex, while she provides him with cocaine to reignite his former addiction. Michael is not appreciative of her vices and vows never to see her again, thereby confirming her prejudiced belief that all men are uncaring and deceitful.
Ivan is the next to be seduced as Violet sabotages his date when she swims topless in his pool, and dresses in his late wife's clothing. The two wish to rekindle the passion that existed during Ivan's affair with Rebecca.
The Greers' housekeeper, Mrs. B, quickly catches on to the recent events, and makes enemies with Violet in her attempts to thwart her schemes.
Michael confronts Violet while she is "street walking". He then reveals to her that he has lost his internship at the bank because of drugs and that he knows of her schemes, including working as a sadomasochistic prostitute, her false employment at Denny's, and her dark family history including the death of Ivy (alluding to the original film). He threatens that she must leave the Greers' before he tells Joy the truth.
When Michael arrives at the Greers' later that day, Violet knocks him unconscious, ties him to a bed and gags him, and injects him with a lethal dose of drugs, killing him.
Joy returns from a failed tennis match distraught at the recent drama of events, only to learn of Michael's death and walk in on her father and Violet in sadomasochism. As Joy flees, Ivan tells Violet she must leave, to which she accuses him of repeating the abandonment of her mother. She hides the drugs for Ivan's heart condition and places him in the garage fatally poisoning him with carbon monoxide by leaving a car engine running.
After a drive, Joy returns that same night, to now discover Mrs. B is also murdered. Violet induces Joy to dress up and play tea like they did when they were children, where they will commit suicide by drinking poison. Joy violently resists by splashing the poison on Violet's face, and the two wrestle around the room. Violet attempts to stab Joy with a pair of scissors, but Joy is able to knock her back before she strikes. Joy races out of the room to the stairway, where she leans on the banister and cries out for help. Violet regains her senses and goes to resume her attack. Violet is spun around by Joy and begins to lose her balance at the top of the stairs. Joy grasps the end of Violet's pearl necklace to keep her from falling.
Still holding on to the pearl necklace, Joy pleads with Violet to reach out and save her. Instead Violet leans her head back; the necklace shatters and Violet's feet slip, causing her to fall backwards down the stairs. Violet lies motionless at the bottom of the stairs, lifeless. Joy calmly exits the mansion. The loss of her entire family circle is saddening, but it may provide her with the opportunity to begin anew, and leave behind the darkness of her family past.

Review: Jaime Pressly is ridiculously goddess-like hot and meant for worship in this standard erotic thriller.
Jaime Pressly a beautful talented actress portrays an awful character for the first time, she plays it good, but i rather her as the good girl.Decent sex scenes, Beautiful surroundings and young talented actors is the ingredients this film needed to survive, the plot stunk and so did the ending.
Is any of the Poison Ivy movies ever going to be viewed as great achievements in motion picture history, not likely.
But if you want to see a bunch of steamy scenes with the hot seductress Jaime Pressly who's using all of her conniving powers to get retribution then that's what you'll get.
When you get to see Jaime Pressly nude on multiple occasions then it's definitely accomplishing what the movie set out to do.Honestly I think that Jaime is way hotter then Drew Barrymore and Alyssa Milano who were the two previous stars in this franchise.
Jaime Pressly stars as Violent, a teenage vixen who feeling betrayed that her mother (who was also this family's maid) was fired for having an affair with the father , a decade or so later decides to move in with the family who 'wronged' her mom and proceeds to use her best asset, her body, to get revenge.
In fact the only true reason to see this is Jaime Pressley herself, who ups the T7A quotient exponentially.Eye Candy: Athena Massey gets topless once; Jaime Pressly shows hers multiple times and her ass once.My Grade: C Where i saw it: Thriller Max. This movie puts the first two to shame!
Violet(Jaime Pressly) is the sister of Ivy. Like who needs the diary of Ivy, this hottie is one fast learner.
surprisingly,very surprisingly,i didn't mind this movie at all.it was certainly head and shoulders above number two,and quite a bit better than the first one.this one had a somewhat developed storyline,with pretty decent acting.the villainous is stronger and much more developed in this one.she is certainly more sinister,if that's the right word.but i also noticed some humour in this one,which the first two didn't have,in my recollection.there is of course,no lack of nudity in this one,but i think it served a bit more of a purpose.it still at times seemed like a soft core porn flick,but at least it had other dimensions to it.and as an added bonus,(especially if you're a guy)it had Jamie Pressly in a prominent role.anyway,for an entertaining 90 minutes,i think you could do a lot worse than the third installment in the Poison Ivy series.my vote for Poison Ivy:The New Seduction:7/10.
Violet's mom (Athena Massey) and the pool boy don't waste any time in getting down to business, and we aren't 10 minutes into the movie when a grown up Violet (Jaime Pressly) is showing us everything she has in the bathtub.
This is a good start.Soon she is servicing Joy's (Megan Edwards) fiancée Michael (Greg Vaughan), and getting daddy (Michael Des Barres) all excited swimming topless.It is so fun to see what Violet's devious mind will come up with next.I enjoyed seeing Susan Tyrrell (Buddy Boy) again.This is definitely Jaime Pressly's most skintastic performance and one you will never see again now that she has hit the big time..
It offers you the best about the B-movie industry: great sex scenes, an easy plot that many people would like to experience, and the best of all, beautiful (I mean, BEAUTIFUL!) women.The plot is similar to "Friend of the Family II" and "The Hand That Rocks the Craddle".
This wonderful, satisfying film stars Jaime Pressly's nipples in dual lead roles.
Jaime Pressly wonderfully channels a southern belle who bangs her way through everyone in the nabe, including some old dude who looks like the dad on 70s show and some d*ckhead Chippendales stripper who has the presence of a can of Starkist.
No, Godzilla was a god awful movie because it TRIED to be good.Poison Ivy 3 was not trying to be good in the sense of acting, or a plot, or anything other than what it should be.
There should be a Poison Ivy 3 channel that shows it all the time, over and over and over again.Look, if you're disappointed in this movie, fine.
(NO OFFENSE MISS BARRYMORE, you DO have talent and you were the first poison ivy!)Well, this formula of good looks, up and coming and no talent points only one direction.
Jaime Pressly did a great job in this movie.
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).
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.
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.
Okay, so it's not the most cinematically perfect film ever made but I think people can lose the point of watching movies these days.
I like thought-provoking, or striking films as much as the next guy but there are some times you just want entertainment and the Poison Ivy films do that.
Jaime Pressly looks fabulous and the plot is a bit contrived but heck, there have been a lot of far more stupid ideas that have cost ten times as much and featured A-list stars.
I usually wait until they're on video as part of 2 for 1s.Like these movies, Pressly first staring role is also in a BAD film.
A sequel to the Poison Ivy movies, Pressly plays the sister of Drew "Available" Barrymore who's come to wreak havoc on the family who ruined her life.
Much like others in this genre, she seduces family members and a woman's fiancé to ruin the family.From Pressly's first scene, where she gets out of the car and the camera pans her from her well-developed legs to her face, to the end, she dominates the film.
However, if this movie is on T.V., at least take a short look at it, because whether she's clothed or nude, there are very few, if any women in show business who are as much as a SEXBOMB as Jaime Pressly.
This movie would have been worn out during all of the Jamie Pressly scenes and this tape would have been issued to all guys reaching puberty.
The last thirty minutes of the movie are excruciatingly bad with absurd plot twists, terrible acting and stupid characters doing incredibly stupid things.
Jamie Pressly is the reason to see "Poison Ivy the New Seduction", and not for her acting as a revenge seeking vixen either.
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.
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.
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..
It's simply an excuse for husky Pressly to show off her nipples and moan a lot on screen - roughly the entire gamut of her acting chops.If that isn't bad enough, count on a soundtrack meant to function as a kind of virtual lobotomy - you know, the typical sleaze movie muzak.
She's got that exotic face, killer body, and can act, but not so well that it will get in the way of her sexuality.Her performance here shows that we have a seductress with a capital "S".I really hope she gets her really, really big break.
Jaime Pressly plays the younger sister of Ivy (whom the first flick is about).
(Is it just me, or does Jaime Pressly look a LOT like Traci Lords?)  Watch this flick real soon, today would be a good day.
With no voice [does she really think she's sexy with that whispering?] Jamie Pressly gets my thumbs down for all time.
The final scene with the daughter walking around like a zombie has got to be a second for bad acting.
Whoever wrote this movie was clearly high at the time, and he, like Jaime clearly has nowhere to go but down in the business.
Well...if you want to waste your time watching Pressly take off her clothes, which is the only thing she is good for, maybe you'll like this movie, but personally I would rather watch paint dry..
Jamie Pressly makes the movie!!!.
I think Poison Ivy 3 was an incredible movie.
Jamie Pressly my favorite actress, who I think is stunning, portrayed that character very well in this movie.
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.
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.
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.
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.
*SPOILER ALERT* *SPOILER ALERT*The most important thing to know about "Poison Ivy: The New Seduction" is that Jaime Pressly does get naked.
If you like Jaime Pressly, you should definitely check it out.
In 1985, Rebecca, a maid working at the Greer mansion as well as living there with her two young daughters, Ivy & Violet, is caught by Ivan Greer having sex with the pool cleaner.
The first sequel was nothing to do with the story of the original, instead being a flimsy piece of drama, this one manages to tie in the story of the original with a new story for this entry (although I found it somewhat dubious that the name of Drew Barrymore's character here named Ivy as she was in the original, were it not for the fact that the name was given by her friend), having a similar plot with a young woman tearing apart a rich family mainly by seducing the father & killing anyone who interferes with her plan.The big difference between the original & the sequels is that the basic setup of the first film was never going to open the doors for the sequels to exist.
While not a remarkable film in any aspect & definitely going to be seen as a classic, Poison Ivy: The New Seduction is an interesting film that has enough T&A to satisfy those who like this sort of film genre..
If you think Poison Ivy: The New Seduction is amusing in it's original form, watch it edited for network television.The movie was so intriguing; it left me with many questions about life.
It's as if, while editing, the creators worried that we might not understand Violet was successfully manipulating Joy, so added the voice-over at the last minute to simplify the already trite and shallow scene: that way, any slime mold that happened to be watching the movie would understand what was going on in that particular 30 seconds.
And even if they have, why do they make movies like Poison Ivy, not once, but thrice.
But only do so if you have lots of time on your hands, have lost your job, are waiting for your flight, or basically are bored out of your mind and decide to have a little competition with the movie to see whether you were more bored earlier or after watching the film.I hope they make a Poison Ivy 4 cause it will be fun to see who will be the actress in that.
I think the only reason to see or buy this movie is Jaime Pressly.
Okay, so back in the early 90s, Drew Barrymore was in an erotic thriller called Poison Ivy. She, and some nameless body double for the nude scenes, played a troubled young woman who deviously inserts herself into a family and wrecks havoc in their lives.
A few years later they did Poison Ivy II, which is one of those Fraudulent Sequels where an original script is altered just enough to be barely connected to the first film.
Poison Ivy II starred Alyssa Milano and, I believe, no body double for the nude scenes.
Just a year after that they came out with Poison Ivy: The New Seduction, which is one of those Fraudulent Sequels where they simply remake the first film and slap different names on all the characters.
This one starred Jaime Pressly as the sister of Barrymore's character and she also deviously inserts herself into a family and wrecks havoc in their lives.
Not only did Pressly have no body double for the nude scenes but her nubile form is the best thing this flick has going for it.
By the time they got down to this movie, no one had any illusions about what they were making except, perhaps, the young Miss Pressly.
Michael Des Barres gives the yeoman's performance you'd expect and Megan Edwards is awfully appealing, though even more awfully is never nude.As crap movies go, Poison Ivy: The New Seduction isn't that bad.
*Few Spoilers Ahead,But dosent matter anyway cause this is a bad flick.you wont regret hearing some spoliers*Ok This movie is more confusing than Vanilla Sky.It Makes no sense.FIRST OF ALL: Violet (pressly) Is supposed to be Ivy (barrymores) sister.OK NEWS FLASH!
