Arrow Video has announced the upcoming 4K Ultra HD release of Wild Things, director John McNaughton’s 1998 neo-noir thriller starring Neve Campbell, Denise Richards, Kevin Bacon and Matt Dillon, with a limited edition box-set containing brand new 4K restorations of both the original theatrical version and extended ‘Unrated Edition’.
Popular and charming, student counsellor Sam Lombardo (Matt Dillon) is no stranger to being the focus of female attention within the moneyed cliques of Florida’s Blue Bay. His fortunes are about to change dramatically, however, when one of the wealthiest students at his high school, sultry siren Kelly Van Ryan (Denise Richards), accuses him of rape. The charge looks sure to stick when another girl from the other end of the social spectrum, Suzie Toller (Neve Campbell), steps forward with her own allegations, but Detective Duquette (Kevin Bacon) smells something fishy, and the truth is as murky and dangerous as the alligator-infested swamps in the hinterlands of this affluent beach community.
