Stonekeeper's October Game: I recommend THIS Mystery Movie #718: Hownos wins with Needful Things 1993

I have a movie in mind and you have to guess which one it is. For each movie you guys are going to guess, I will give a hint that CONNECTS your guess with the movie I have in mind.

Example of connections: Actor, length, genre, aspect ratio, language, country, year, director, writer in common, rating, number of votes, nominations. It can even be something like: both movies involve a love triangle.

Hint 3: Wild Things (1998) "Things" is the 2nd word in the title

Hownos wins with his devilishly clever guess of Needful Things (1993), which I watched today and enjoyed. Good performances from Max von Sydow and Ed Harris.
