Despite the name, Cruel Intentions 3 has nothing to do with the original film, much less the sequel that was reedited from the canceled series. Instead, it has Kristina Anapau as Cassidy Merteuil, the cousin of the first movie’s Kathryn, who was played by Sarah Michelle Gellar. She’s caught up in the sexual schemes of roommates Jason Argyle (Kerr Smith) and Patrick Bates (Nathan Wetherington), which include revenge porn and sexual assault because…look, I don’t know. It seems like the rich think they can — and do — get away with everything.
The turnaround is that she wanted it and had pre-roofied herself and had been working with Jason to make their own bets. See, I saved you the time in your life that I have wasted.
This was directed by Scott Ziehl, who also made the direct-to-video Roadhouse 2, and written by Rhett Reese, who rose above this to make Zombieland, Deadpool and G.I. Joe: Retaliation.
This is an absolutely dreadful movie and when I die, I will do so lamenting the time I wasted watching it and so many other direct-to-video sequels.
You can watch this on Tubi.
