Written by Stephen Peters and directed by John McNaughton, the film is best known for its pool makeout session between Campbell and Richards for a lurid threesome between Campbell, Richards, and Dillon and for Bacon showing his, um, full bacon.

Richards described the film as “ Scream meets Body Heat,” a cross between a whodunit and sleazy cinema. The events transform into an erotic film noir, as everyone betrays one another. They hire a lawyer (Bill Murray) and a detective (Kevin Bacon) to investigate Lombardo. Set and filmed in South Florida, Wild Things revolves around two teenagers, Suzie (Neve Campbell) and Kelly (Denise Richards), who accuse their high school guidance counselor, Sam Lombardo (Matt Dillon), of rape.
