Poison! takes us on a roller-coaster ride into the world of poisons. By mixing an extraordinary range of film techniques from reconstruction, actuality, time-lapse and high speed photography, to ground-breaking animation, special effects, the latest in macro-photography and natural history, the boundaries of the documentary genre have been pushed to their limits.

Poison! goes beyond just recounting what happens to victims who confront these killers but delves inside the human body showing just how poisons affect our bodies. From the deadly affects of snake venom to an anaphylactic reaction to a wasp sting we witness the full horror of killer poisons in our bodies. From the zombifying effects of the puffer fish we re-live the spine-chilling experiences of those who have escaped near-death with nature’s most deadly toxins. But Poison! goes well beyond just recounting what happens to the victims. Whilst showing the damage poisons can cause in the wrong hands we also see just how precious poisons can be, saving millions of lives every year from the treatment of heart disease to cancer.

Publicity

“Very stylish and innovatively executed. Probably the best use of victims as actors I’ve seen to date. Well done.” Greg Diefenbach, Devillier Donegan Enterprises.
