This film has absolutely no relationship to the original, which I have already reviewed. The film poster itself is nonsensical. "Lily just wanted to be like Ivy"? Lily didn't know Ivy. Lily is not a young teenage seductress like Ivy in the original film, she's a victim.
Lily is a music student who has an affair with her professor, inspiring him to paint again after many years of only teaching. When she realises that the affair is wrong and tries to end it he rapes her.
Two things stand out in this mainly bland film. One is the stunning beauty of Alyssa Milano naked. While dressed she looks like a little girl, but when she removes her clothes she is a sexy woman. The other is the brooding oriental cello player who haunts the film in a ghost-like quality. I'm not sure what the director intended to say by showing him standing watching or playing cello at key moments in the film, but it unnerves me.
