Directed by Jack Perez (Unauthorized: The Mary Kay Letourneau Story, Unauthorized: Brady Bunch - The Final Days) and written by Ross Helford (who also wrote the Sniper sequels) and Andy Hurst (who wrote the sequel to Single White Female), this movie does credit Stephen Peters for characters, but there's not a single continuing character. In fact, it's pretty much the same story and a very similar threesome scene, which you'll soon discover just might be the defining moment of any movie called Wild Things.
Brittney Havers (Susan Ward) is a wealthy Florida high school senior who has list her mother to a car crash on Gator Alley -- where she was presumably devoured by alligators -- and her stepfather Niles Dunlap (Anthony Denison, who was Joey Buttafucco in The Amy Fisher Story, the Drew Barrymore one) has just died when his private plane went down. She's about to earn a small amount of money each year until she's done with college and then $25,000 a year, with the rest of the will -- $70 million dollars worth -- going to an heir if they can be found. That heir ends up being one of her classmates, Maya King (Leila Arcieri).
We soon see Brittney, Maya and the DNA test doctor all having some MFF action, which clues us in that this is all a ruse. Insurance investigator Terence Bridge (Isaiah Washington) thinks that it's a scam too, as Dunlap once had scarlet fever and was possibly sterile. That means the DNA doctor is a crocodile meal and then, well, the twists and turns start to add up. Dead people are alive, partners get double-crossed, people on the side of the law aren't and there's even an open ending that makes you think that the backstabbing hasn't stopped.
Imagine if they just redid the first one, had no major stars, still had the threesome scene and shot it like a prime time soap opera. That's kind of a success in my book.
