The Alchemist Cookbook
Directed by Joel Potrykus
Produced by Oscilloscope, Sob Noisse Movies
A darkly surreal descent into the fractured mind of an isolated chemist whose obsessive pursuit of alchemy spirals into paranoia and supernatural horror.
Self-made chemist Sean, a recluse living in an old trailer in the woods, suffers from pill-popping delusions of fortune. When his manic attempts at cracking the ancient secret of alchemy go awry he unleashes something far more sinister and dangerous.
