Poison
Three intertwined stories involving strangers, sex, and violence. In "Hero," Richie kills his father at the age of seven and flees. Following the shooting, a documentary in cheesy lurid hues explores Richie's personality and the circumstances surrounding the shooting. In the black-and-white "Horror," a scientist extracts the elixir of human sexuality, consumes it, and transforms into a festering, contagious murderer; a female colleague who loves him attempts to assist him, but at her risk. In "Homo," a prisoner in Fontenal is drawn to a convict he met years ago at Baton juvenile facility and observed being humiliated. Except for the vivid flashbacks, this story is told in muted light.
