Christopher Null
Christopher Null founded Filmcritic.com in 1995.
Cruel Intentions gets its first serious imitator in this tale of youth, insanity, betrayal, and hot chicks (with nary a brassiere among them!) in an ultra-exclusive resort in a Hamptons-like locale.

The story is sad and pathetic, unbelievable for more than a second to anyone with less than 45% alcohol in his or her blood stream. Lori Heuring 'stars' as a mental hospital patient who, on the recommendation of her doctor, is released so she can work at the aforementioned resort for the summer -- in order to see how far she's coming along with her adjustment back into the world. Here she encounters all manner of nut-job rich kids, provoking the question of who's more insane, her or the people she is serving as a cabana girl?

Needless to say, the body count ensues along with faux lesbianism, pool-based cat fights, drunkenness, date rape, and more! If fully half the film had not been shot in the dark without a single light to guide the way, well... this film would probably have been no better anyway.
