God bless the internet. Have you fallen down a weird Wikipedia rabbit hole for a terrible 90s movie? Tell me which one in the comments. (I’m betting on Temptress from 1995.)

I fell down the rabbit hole last night reading its , and let me tell you—the article is arguably more entertaining than the movie itself. It reads less like a standard encyclopedia entry and more like a police report written by a very tired, very sarcastic film student.
