Poison
1991 · Movie · 85 min. · United States
Three intercut stories about outsiders, sex and violence. Shot in mock TV-documentary style, 'Poison' tells a bizarre story of suburban patricide and a miraculous flight from justice; “Horror,” filmed like a delirious ’50s B-movie melodrama, is a gothic tale of a mad sex experiment which unleashes a disfiguring plague; while “Homo” explores the obsessive sexual relationship between two prison inmates.
