Cruel Intentions 3 is an American rama/thriller film, directed by Scott Ziehl and released direct-to-video in 2004. Despite its name, the movie has almost no relation to the two previous films in the series, except that the lead character in the film, Cassidy Merteuil (Kristina Anapau), is a cousin of one the characters, Kathryn Merteuil, in the first movie.
