Out of all the "Poison Ivy" I have seen, this one is like none of the three. To me, this is like "Heathers" meets " Mean Girls" only more serious. Here you have an orphaned teen named Daisy(Miriam McDonald), who lives in a small town ranch, who gets to go to s very prestigious college. Fitting in is one thing, proving your worth is another. Earlier, a student in the college died under mysterious circumstances. She catches the attention of two people: Blake(Ryan Kennedy) and the clique, the Ivies. The leader Azalea(Shawna Waldron), seduces Blake one afternoon to get ahead. In order to keep the scholarship for themselves, the Ivies go to every length to get it. Even make the new girl one of them. Blake would warn Daisy about Azalea and the Ivy society. Especially when Azalea killed his father, the dean of the college(Greg Evigan). After the scandal in college, Daisy goes back to her boyfriend, realizing her heart belongs to him. Keeping the situation to yourself is best, rather the blowing the lid of a college with secrets. Different from the first three, but it retained the same seductive manner as usual. So don't jump the gun on it, watch it and be the judge yourself. 2 out of 5 stars.

I really liked Miriam on Degrassi, I think she's an excellent actress...Bu this role put her in such a bad light.I didn't see all of the movie, but what I did see was way too much for TV. I'm not a prude or anything, but really? It seemed more like a porno because of the lack of concept than an actual movie. What really bothered me about the whole thing that happened to Daisy, was that she had a choice. In the scene where they asked the girls if they wanted in, they looked at each other instead of deciding for themselves. She could of said no and be done with it. After they said yes they drank something and got tramp stamps. Lol? Who wrote that. I'm pretty sure there's a law against forcing someone to get a tattoo..But I guess since it's a movie, they don't have to be realistic?I think this movie is only good for pubescence boys to get their jollies off. It has no substance at all.

I have not seen any of the other Poison Ivy movies, but I know the premise had to do with a young seductress, along the lines of Amy Fisher. This movie, which I think would be part four, doesn't really have much to do with that formula, although they do end up putting in a scene between a student and a teacher.This episode is more like the Skulls series--a secret society that sucks in an innocent country girl and draws her into a world of manipulation. She is attending a fancy private school, which she is only able to do because she had the talent to be awarded a scholarship. The majority of the kids she interacts with are there because they have money, and bit by bit, she is distracted from her studies until she is caught up in their world of deceit.What I didn't like about this movie is that everything was completely formulaic--I had seen it all before, and knew where it was all going. In addition, the resolution was completely ridiculous--the girl gets a taped confession that supposedly brings down the entire infrastructure of the secret society. We are hardly supposed to question how her flimsy evidence would hold up against a multi-million dollar defense team that the families would certainly bring against her.So the country girl ends up going back to her boyfriend to help him build his dream home on their multi-acre rural paradise. My vote is a three out of ten. It's one of those movies that could only appeal to kids who are too young for the subject matter, because anyone older than early teens already knows what's going to happen anyway.

First of all: I watched this movie on TV and missed the first 20 minutes or so. Therefore it might have been better than I thought. Maybe something super entertaining and Oscar worthy happened...Anywho, What I saw was awful. The acting and setting was good or at least alright. The plot was...odd. Nothing seems to happen very logically. The main character is very stupid and does a lot of stupid things. This is not the actress's fault (because her acting was not the problem).Spoilers!!!!!Here's a good example: When she records the murderous confession, why doesn't she just quietly take it to the police? Why doesn't she use a tape recorder way earlier in the movie? Why does she join the society in the first place? Why doesn't she transfer to a non-insane people school? And come on! All that for an internship?! Imagine creating a complex, murderous web of crime, with incredible risk, over an internship! And why the hell was the ugly brunette Society leader chick believe everything the professor's son said?!!! ( She was waaaay too ugly for that role).And it's a good thing that the other Ivy member (the prettier one) suddenly had a change of heart and decided to help Daisy for no logical reason.On the other hand, this movie is great for men and young boys who are too afraid to buy porn.
