Overview

In the game of seduction, there is only one rule: Never fall in love.

Slaking a thirst for dangerous games, Kathryn challenges her stepbrother, Sebastian, to deflower their headmaster's daughter before the summer ends. If he succeeds, the prize is the chance to bed Kathryn. But if he loses, Kathryn will claim his most prized possession.

Review

Cruel Intentions

Hindsight is 20/20 on a lot of things and for this movie, it brings a whole lot of WTF. Sex, drugs, and manipulation are the name of the game but in what we’re led to believe is a NYC prep school. It has a lot of the same beats as Mean Girls without any of the charm.⭐️⭐️
