Review of Poison

Poison (2001 Video)
6/10
Totally weird tale of revenge
9 August 2002
Warning: Spoilers
*WARNING: Spoilers ahead*

The movie starts off with a rather promising premise: A guy uses his wife to "close the deal" by letting the contractee have sex with his wife (Wuhrer). Her husband expects a promotion, but instead is fired(!), after apparently landing a big contract.

No real reason is given, other than they had been looking for someone else for a while. Her husband commits suicide and Kari is on the warpath. Logically, she kills her husband's boss and mistress.

But, illogically, she turns her attention to the woman who replace her husband and her family (Crampton). No indication is given that she might be crazy, although she may have just felt sexually "used" for no ultimate purpose, but this is never explored.

Fortunately, before everyone is killed, or set up, a lot of people have sex, including Kari with the woman's son--this movies only redeeming virtue (redeem away).

Just a disappointment, because Kari did not do the bulk of the nudity.

I was at the LADWP when some scenes from this movie were shot, I did not get to see Kari, however--nuts!
