source: Poison Ivy 4: The Secret Society

After the death of her parents, Danielle "Daisy" Brooks (Miriam McDonald) sells the family farm and leaves behind her boyfriend to transfer to Beckshire College. The Ivy Society led by Azalea Berges (Shawna Waldron) dismisses the poor new student until Blake (Ryan Kennedy) takes an interest. The school is still haunted by a female student's mysterious death six months earlier. Magenta is Daisy's film student roommate. Andrew Graves is their political theory professor and Blake's father. Daisy starts working for Blake's mother dean Elisabeth Graves (Catherine Hicks). Azalea wants a prized internship but Daisy has the inside track. This is most notable for the sexy Icebox. I don't know what else Shawna has done over the years but this is a real eye opening. Otherwise, there is nothing here. This is a weak soft core B-movie and it's not much of a thriller.

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.

Entirely predictable tale about a country girl who goes to college only to find that a secret society ( sorority) is enacting murder on campus with impunity. From the point of her arrival to the climactic cat fight with the leader of the "Ivy Society," she spends her time dating an instructor's glib, overconfident and basically spineless son, Blake. Nor does the flick ever take the trouble to debunk him. He performs a role like a male lead in a * film and nothing more is required of him. Blake is sexing her as well as the villain. Notably, each sex act in this made for TV saga includes naked breasts and is accompanied by the same jungle drum music. Both women conduct themselves in bed aggressively exactly as you would expect a sex worker to perform, country girl or no. When she hands the Ivy Society over to the police, she returns home for the summer to the boy she left behind, whom she promises a lifetime of her sexual favors. God grant that she not give him an STD. Decidedly non-collegiate attitudes. Cheap, cheap, cheap.

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.

Damn i though after the third movie they would have realise all the bullsh**it they have done but no they still had to show agains for the 6time another freaking tiresome lesbian scene. And aslo i did not enjoyed the acting.

This movie is visually appealing and entertaining plus it has an interesting plot. Check this one out if you like suspense, seduction and mystery all in one movie.

first off I was surprised to see ole BJ and the Bear star Greg Evigan back on the screen,, where has he been. this movie goes in a different direction and does not follow the first 3 Poison Ivy films.. this one has a girl starting her life over at a New England college. sorta like a prep school I guess. kinda like female version of Skulls. but anyways to be honest I bought this just for all of the hot girls in this movie,, and the DVD added it was unrated. but the movie wasn't bad at all , actually had some depth and plot to it,, a real mystery for awhile,, . I think this one would stand alone and really didn't need to be even named poison ivy,, but I really liked the film and was surprise some of the young girls actually could act instead of just look great naked.

Onetime child stars Miriam McDonald and Shawna Waldron go the Alyssa Milano route, trying to prove how grown-up they are by taking their clothes off in a terrible Poison Ivy movie. All the Poison Ivy movies are awful but this one, which doesn't actually have anything to do with any of the others, makes Milano's look like Gone with the Wind by comparison. The story is impossibly dumb. The acting is uniformly pathetic. McDonald and Waldron may look good but their acting skills have not grown with their bodies. McDonald is bad. Waldron is way beyond bad, turning in one of the most atrocious performances ever seen. The supporting players are all pretty much terrible as well. Ryan Kennedy, who plays the guy involved with the two key girls, is particularly lousy. To be fair none of the performers are helped by a script which is mind-boggling in its stupidity. McDonald plays Daisy, an innocent country bumpkin who goes away to college. She gets mixed up with the school's powerful all-female secret society, the Ivies. This group hasn't got the "secret" part of secret society down as they live in a big house right in the middle of campus and everybody knows all about them. Anyhow, Waldron plays Azalea, the key figure in this cabal of stupid girls. Azalea wants some internship, she's afraid Daisy might get it. So Azalea hatches schemes to take Daisy down and claim that precious internship for herself. The story has huge holes in it. It is neither believable nor interesting. The movie slogs along towards the finish, interrupted by occasional skin displays from its two leads because honestly getting them naked is the only reason this movie even exists. The ending somehow manages to be even dumber than everything which preceded it with quite possibly the worst fight sequence in movie history. This is a movie which fails in every possible way. If McDonald and Waldron were hoping for a career boost from this, well ladies I've seen Alyssa Milano and you're no Alyssa Milano.

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 *.
