Dirty deeds among the rich, poor, and generally unscrupulous have come back into style in this direct-to-video sequel to the hit Wild Things. Niles Dunlap, a wealthy but less than honest businessman, dies unexpectedly in a light plane accident, and his teenaged step-daughter, Brittney Havers (Susan Ward), figures she's a shoo-in to inherit his fortune; however, Brittney discovers that Niles's will stipulates that his 40-million-dollar estate is to go to a charitable foundation unless a "blood heir" can be produced. Enter Maya King (Leila Arcieri), a schoolmate of Brittney's, who claims that she's Dunlap's illegitimate daughter -- according to Maya, her mother worked as a maid for the Dunlap family, and Maya was born after her mother was seduced by Niles. Meanwhile, Terence Bridge (Isaiah Washington) is an insurance investigator whose job is to hang in the balance. His employers would just as soon not pay off the two-million-dollar life insurance policy Dunlap had taken out, and Bridge is hoping to prove that the plane wreck was no accident. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

The direct-to-video sequel Wild Things 2, featuring not a single one of the main actors from the first film, arrives on DVD with a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original aspect ratio of 1.85:1. The English and Japanese soundtracks are rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1, while a French soundtrack has been recorded in Dolby Digital Surround. Subtitles are accessible in all three of those languages. Supplemental materials are limited to a run-of-the-mill 20-minute making-of documentary featuring interviews with the cast and crew, and trailers for this and other films, including the original Wild Things and In the Cut. The disc is technically competent, and will probably intrigue genre enthusiasts. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide
