Poison Ivy has a pretty outlandish plot, with an ambitious girl managing to ingratiate herself into a household before seducing the father, replacing the mother and almost successfully framing the daughter for murder. Given that the events of the movie are so melodramatic, it’s difficult to imagine them being at all grounded in reality. Despite thi...
It’s hard to come up with a satisfying version of Poison Ivy where the titular bad girl doesn’t die in some way or another, but Ivy’s death was actually not a part of director Katt Shea’s vision. In the original script, Ivy escapes peril and leaves the Cooper’s house behind her, hitch-hiking away to cause trouble somewhere else. It was only after N...
Poison Ivy is a story that revolves almost entirely around one family, whether it’s the friendship between Ivy and Sylvie, the relationship between Ivy and Daryll or the building and then shattered trust between Ivy and Georgie. The film is so much about these characters that it’s difficult to focus on anything else going on in the background, even...
If the plot or tone of Poison Ivy feel familiar to you, then there’s a good chance you’ve seen Fatal Attraction. The two films sharing a similar vibe was entirely intentional, as New Line Cinema had made it clear that they wanted to make a movie in the spirit of Fatal Attraction, while still making something that teenagers could watch. Poison Ivy d...
We’ve already discussed the fact that the ending of Poison Ivy that featured Ivy’s death was agreed upon at the last minute, which led to a scramble to film the new scenes before release. What you might not have realised is that a lot of the new scenes were improvised, including Sylvie’s dialogue. In Sylvie’s closing narration, she says about Ivy: ...
Several movies exist that feel like they were made to set up a sequel, and several others feel like they could spawn a franchise completely naturally. However, Poison Ivy definitely doesn’t seem like the kind of movie that was setting up a series, or like a film that actually needs a sequel. Despite this, Poison Ivy actually spawned three direct-to...
Just as the original ending for Poison Ivy underwent several rewrites, the title of the movie was also subject to a lot of changes throughout production. For most of the time it spent being shot, the studio went back and forth on whether to call the movie Ivy, or Our House. To make things even more complicated, the script that the movie was based o...
Right from the beginning of being placed in charge of Poison Ivy, Katt Shea was desperate for Drew Barrymoreto play the starring role. Shae was so convinced that Barrymore was the only actress who could play Ivy, that she wasn’t even discouraged when Barrymore failed to show up for her first audition. Not only that but when Barrymore again skipped ...
Poison Ivy was shot in just 35 days, so it might not be surprising to know that it has a few mistakes. With that said, the movie is filled to the brim with tiny production errors, from visible crew members and equipment to multiple scenes that contain continuity errors. Just to give a few examples, crew members can be seen as Ivy and Sylvie crash t...
Poison Ivy did not do well at the box office when it was released and, despite becoming a cult movie once it was available for home viewing, it did not do well with critics either. Most pointed to Drew Barrymore being unsuited for the role as the movie’s biggest problem, with prominent critic Roger Ebert saying: “[Barrymore] seems like a pleasant, ...
