THE POISONING is an indie thriller about a crazed hitchhiker. That plot has been done to death by Hollywood throughout the decades, with such minor gems as THE HITCHER and THE HITCH-HIKER doing their very best to unnerve viewers, but this indie version is entirely unremarkable. The problem is that the plot is very familiar and the execution is bog-standard, the film lacking in the kind of intrigue and excitement it needs to grip the viewer. The whole thing is just too low budget to do the premise justice.
