JULIA STILES .. is smokin !! good story* line with an interesting scene with her dad.
Will knock you for a loop March 27, 2009
Thomas Stringer (Philadelphia, PA USA)
I saw parts of Wicked on Lifetime television recently, and I was intrigued enough to purchase a copy. The film was the first starring role for Julia Stiles, and after she became a major star, Wicked was released on video and DVD.
The movie has the standard Lifetime elements -- a contrived plot, wonderful scenes followed immediately by dreadful ones, broad-brushed characters (the clueless widower; the seductive and possibly homicidal daughter, who traipses around in her dead mother's clothes; a detective channeling William Shatner). However, the plot manages to hold your interest, and I can tell you that the ending will knock you for a loop.
Julia Stiles is deliciously evil as Ellie, the older daughter who is the ultimate Daddy's girl. (I am grateful that the consummation of her relationship with her father is implied, not shown.) The real star of the film is the young Vanessa Zima, who plays younger sister Inger. Not since Kirsten Dunst in Interview With the Vampire was there such a compelling and frightening child.
 Wickedly Cool Movie April 27, 2008

It's hard to imagine Julia Styles shot this just before "10 Things I Hate About you." Although it was easy to figure out the mystery it's still a wickedly good flick.
I love this movie!! February 29, 2008

This is a great B movie that I can watch again and again! Yes, it's B quality, but in a good way. The plot, characters, acting, sets, costumes, are what makes this movie work. It's a tongue in cheek Greek tradgedy, and should be viewed and enjoyed as such.
Very Dark Story December 11, 2007

I watched this movie on the LMN network so I don't have the dvd but I figured I'd write a review.
I gave it 3 stars mainly for the gorgeous main character. She is a very seductive teenager and we find out later that she went all the way with her own father almost immediately after the mother was bludgeoned to death. And it's not like the father forces the issue. Rather she tries to become the mother. It's very strange.
Is the idea really that the father had been molesting her for years ? I don't know. That's one possible interpretation.
She spends most of the movie running around in skimpy clothes.
The story itself is completely rediculous so if you want to watch a movie that is even remotely possible forget it.
But sometimes people like to watch movies just for fun so in that case you may enjoy it. Even though the story itself isn't realistic the human emotions are.
To tell you the truth I'm still not sure what is going on with this movie. If the ending means what I think it does that makes it even more rediculous.
For one thing what the ending implies would not even be physically possible.
There's only about 10 main characters in the entire movie and by the end about half of them are dead so you start to run out of possible candidates for who the villain really is.
