Elixir

Collection of short horror films directed by women

Wendy is a middle-aged woman who is constantly dismissed and made to feel invisible by the men in her life. One day while working in her garden, she pricks her finger on a thorny cocoon, and is infected with something… inhuman. After she is suddenly let go and replaced with a younger woman by her boss at a job she’s enjoyed for decades, her rage, (along with alien DNA), transforms her into a powerful creature, hellbent on revenge.

A woman arrives home from work to find her power out and her front door left unlocked. As she walks through the house with her boyfriend on the phone, he tells her she is safe. Is he right? Or is this a dangerous Gaslight.
