In the end nothing else matters. Not the huge explosion from a trickling of gas, not the bloodless stabbing, not the medical inconsistencies, not the forensic evidence, not the derivative plot. The only thing that matters is that "Poison" is entertaining. This movie has everything, suspense, ample nudity, good character development, surprise ending, and of course, the wonderful Kari Wuhrer and Barbara Crampton. Do not listen to the people who trash "Poison" because of the above trivial objections, instead sit back and prepare to be amazed by this highly entertaining, sexy, revenge thriller. - MERK

I enjoyed the title but their was some remarkable circumstances. A house in Beverly Hills CA without a burglar alarm give me a brake. Anna so easily blowing up a house with kitchen gas cook-top and a crack ceiling flood light bulb. You distantly heard the clicking of the pilots ignitions that would have lit the gas (safely) The residents heard the breaking of the door window slightly but not enough to investigate the man investigated at the sound of Anna cracking the light bulb witch was before she put the gas on. The gas was on about 2-3 minutes when the man put the kitchen lite on and the house looked like it was hit by a WW II flame thrower. If gas was that explosive I doubt if we would be using it in our homes.Diabetes covered well by another viewer.The killing of the housekeeper. Anna had so much time to stab to death a body in shower and clean up blood or keep off carpet in route to garage freezer.Anna as new housekeeper good bluff waving her references in Nicoles face. A couple of phone calls could have taken care of that a good job for their daughter who was grounded and had to be home at 3:00PM. The housekeeper so beautiful but evidently a loner that no one notice her disappearance for I think time frame was about a week to 10 days.The fight in the end could be okay , but she could have put the housekeepers body in pool and let police do the rest. Well the fight was important to make Nicoles husband look guilty and to not pursue her. Summation; "Anna" middle name Lucky

The box looked vaguely enticing. A revenge thriller. Well, it wasn't. It was a sorry collection of scenes cobbled together in a fashion that paid, no more than, lip service to the concept of a story line. The only thing that kept my attention was the realization (which came about 20 minutes in) that every female character in the film was going to get her kit off at some stage. Unfortunately, whilst this does happen, these scenes are interspersed between far too much "drama". Having said that, I still think this video would be far more appropriately placed behind the beaded curtain (at the local video store) than out with the serious movies.

Not much of a thriller to me, this movie was very hard to understand. Anna Stewart is the wife of a business man who just lost his job to a woman from the Garrett family. Anna's husband later dies in a car accident and Anna avenges his death. She kills her husband's old boss, and then heads to the Garrett home. Anna kills the housekeeper and then takes on the housekeeper's job. What happens afterwards is very hard to understand, Anna has sex with the men in the family and slowly kills the mother of the Garrett family. This is one of the strangest movies I have ever seen. I don't recommend you watch this movie unless you want to see a lot of nudity, if you do want to watch a movie similar to this one, I would recommend that you watch Basic Instinct. Don't waste time with this so called thriller.
