POISON is the celebrated first feature by TODD HAYNES. The film was inspired by the writings of Jean Genet and deftly interweaves three tales - Hero, Horror and Homo - and builds towards a devastating climax. Hero, shot in mock TV-documentary style, tells a bizarre story of suburban patricide and a miraculous flight from justice; Horror, filmed like a delirious '50s B-movie melodrama, is the gothic tale of a mad sex experiment which unleashes a disfiguring plague; while the lushly photographed Homo explores the obsessive sexual relationship between two prison inmates.
