Poison is a 1991 independent film written and directed by Todd Haynes. Composed of three intercut stories that are partially inspired by the novels of Jean Genet [Miracle of the Roses, Our Lady of the Flowers, Thief's Journal] . With its gay themes, Poison is considered an early entry in the New Queer Cinema movement.

A fascinating, narratively perverse triptych of stories, Poison ignited a firestorm of controversy when its post-production funding by the National Endowment for the Arts became a target of the religious right. Par for the course, none of the accusors bothered to watch the film or even do their homework, but the damage was still inflicted, evaporating many government-sponsored arts programs for future generations.
Designed as a feature follow up to the celebrated Superstar: The Karen Carpenter Story, this film quickly put Todd Haynes on the map outside of the standard "gay filmmaker" status, though none of his subsequent efforts have garnered the notoriety of this acidic debut.
The three intercut stories that comprise Poison are:
Hero: A young boy shoots his father and then flies away. The story is told in the style of a documentary film.
Horror: Told in the style of 1950s drive-in sci-fi movies, Horror is about a scientist who isolates the "elixir of human sexuality" and, after drinking it, is transformed into a hideous murdering monster.
Homo: The story of a prisoner who finds himself attracted to another prisoner whom he had known and seen humiliated as a youth in a juvenile facility.
Poison was first screened at the Sundance Film Festival in 1991 and later received a limited release in the United States.
