Poison

About This Movie

Poison (2017) really explores the darker side of human nature. The story centers on a man with some intriguing healing abilities, but he’s not your typical hero. Instead, he wields his power for personal gain—wealth and love, sure, but at what cost? The pacing feels deliberate, almost languid at times, which allows you to sink into the moral complexities of his choices. The atmosphere is thick, almost oppressive, underscored by a haunting score that lingers long after the credits roll. The performances have a raw quality that adds to the film’s intensity. Practical effects used in the healing scenes stand out, grounding the supernatural in a gritty reality. It’s a unique take on themes of power and vulnerability, making it a thought-provoking watch.
