Poison

About This Movie

So, 'Poison' (2023) is this odd little mix of comedy and thriller that somehow pulls you in with its quirky premise. Picture an English guy, flat on his back in India, a snake chilling on his stomach - yeah, it’s a wild setup. The pacing has that kind of frantic energy, bouncing between laugh-out-loud moments and genuine tension. The performances are decent, especially the doctor trying to keep it together while chaos ensues. And the practical effects? They’ve got this raw quality that keeps it feeling grounded. It's distinctive in how it blends these genres, never quite landing on one, which might not sit well with everyone, but it gives you a unique viewing experience, for sure.
