Not that I'm complaining, mind, since I'm a big fan of the lovely Miss Barrymore, and trashy exploitation in general, and this film gave me plenty to smile about, namely miss Barrymore in a series of very sexy get-ups. Although, on the surface, this film gives the impression of being a stylish, sexy and sophisticated thriller, with an almost noir-ish atmosphere and a cool slow-burn approach, when all is said and done, this is trash exploitation, pure and simple, as one might expect from the director of Stripped to Kill and Stripped to Kill II: Live Girls. Sylvie is captivated by her new BFF's wild streak, unaware that the luscious lolita has designs on her father and will kill to get what she wants. Drew plays a sultry blonde with a troubled past who befriends socially awkward high school student Sylvie Cooper (Sara Gilbert) in order to scheme her way into her family. Retail: $4.A teenage Drew Barrymore lends her undeniable sex appeal to this otherwise unremarkable erotic thriller which uses the well-worn 'family unit threatened by a wicked interloper' plot device as an excuse to deliver loads of cheap titillation.

Later she landed an internship in Wayne Enterprises' Bio-Chemistry division developing pharmaceutical and cosmetic applications, fired after suggesting to Bruce Wayne that the company develop chemicals that could brainwash people, then accidentally spilling the chemicals she was working with on herself, giving her powers to control plant life and immunity to all poisons and viruses. Her abusive father murdered her mother and buried her in the garden, she later kills him with a poisoned kiss. She spent most of her limited time outside in her family's garden.
Pamela Isley was now born with a skin condition that prevented her from leaving her home. In the New 52 reboot, in 2013's Detective Comics #23.1, Poison Ivy's story is rewritten again by Derek Fridolfs and Javier Pina. But she is also an agent of The Green, just as Swamp Thing is its avatar. Enraged at the betrayal, she suffers from violent mood swings, being sweet one moment and evil the next, we learn that her parents died many years ago. Woodrue flees from the authorities leaving Isley in the hospital for six months. She nearly dies twice as a result of these poisonings, driving her insane. In Black Orchid #1 in 1989 by Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean, Alec Holland, the future Swamp Thing, and his wife Linda Holland, were added to the university research class, as well as Philip Sylvain. Originally characterized as a supervillain, she has been depicted as an antiheroine and straight-out hero. She uses plant toxins and mind-controlling pheromones for her criminal activities, which are usually aimed at protecting endangered species and the natural environment from the careless actions of humans. The character is typically barefoot in a one-piece costume adorned with leaves and vines, with occasional variations to her skin tone. Partly inspired by Bettie Page, and the titular character in Nathaniel Hawthorne's short story "Rappaccini's Daughter", she was originally a misanthropic botanist and biochemist who possesses a poisonous touch, enhanced physical abilities, and a supernatural control over plant life, which she uses for the purposes of ecoterrorism. Poison Ivy was created by Robert Kanigher and Sheldon Moldoff for Batman #181 in 1966. We always like to take a look at how Poison Ivy is handled by DC Comics, with all manner of contradictions.
