“Plush” opens with a scene where a woman, strapped helplessly to a
chair, is buried intentionally by a dumpster full of rocks. The moment
of confusion and pain perfectly sums up what it’s like to watch “Plush.”
The latest from inexplicably employable director Catherine Hardwicke
(“Twilight,” “Red Riding Hood”), the movie is a hodgepodge of sexual
kink and horror, blended with musical performances to create a hip
atmosphere of artistry that younger audiences will likely reject at

paying more attention to the thickness of eyeliner than the complexity
of its mystery.
