Synopsis
Poison Ivy (1992) is a psychological thriller you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Katt Shea and starring Drew Barrymore alongside Sara Gilbert — with a brief early appearance by Leonardo DiCaprio.
Sylvia Cooper is a loner at an elite private school, daughter of a successful TV producer. Ivy is there on scholarship with nothing but nerve and want. They become close fast, and Ivy takes the friendship as an opening: she moves into Sylvia's home, works her way into the father's bed, and begins edging the dying mother out of the picture with quiet deliberate patience. Sylvia can see what's happening. Nobody believes her.
Barrymore plays against type — sweet-faced, charming, genuinely unsettling — and that gap between her appearance and what Ivy is actually doing is what makes the film stick. Katt Shea keeps the tone slow and uncomfortable rather than slasher-loud, which suits the material exactly. Watch Poison Ivy (1992) online on iFILM.
