The Bitterest Pill (1986) Tales from the Darkside Review | Talks from the Darkside

Описание: Jonathan Bender (Jason Horst), a boy mistreated and called "stupid" by his parents, is visited by Tinker (Mark Blankfield), an eccentric scientist and family friend. Tinker has developed a miraculous pill that increases brain power and memory, and as Johnathan's family have recently won the lottery, he approaches the boy's parents (Joseph Carafello and Catherine Battistone) for financial support. Eventually, Tinker ends up dying from the excruciating amount of knowledge he has absorbed. Afterwards, Jonathan ingests the prototype pill, using his astounding new intellect to gain power over his parents.

Directed by Bryan Michael Stoller and written by Michael Kube-McDowell & Jule Selbo based on the short story "The Richest Man in Levittown" by  Frederik Pohl
