Once Sean spirals further into a game he began but now canвЂ™t control, heвЂ™s driven to self-abuse and violent behavior that would have been more interesting if not for his non-reaction to these two crucial scenes. The problem is that Potrykus chooses to pump the brakes when things start to get interesting instead of pushing the intrigue. Both of these scenes are wonderfully shot and rooted firmly in the realm of horror fantasy. There are two great scenes in The Alchemist Cookbook вЂ“ one involving a much more frightening side of Cortez (played wonderfully by Cheatom) and another showing a very creepy standoff between Sean andвЂ¦ something.

The sounds of some kind of creature begin to echo around him, sounding far off during the day and ever closer at night. The horror of SeanвЂ™s situation starts to manifest as the film slowly progresses. Combining his chemistry with incantations and fire, it begins to look like he may have a connection with the underworld as well. As the nights roll by, Sean screams into the night, seemingly inciting a battle with an imaginary foe. His only connection to the outside world is a sidelined thug named Cortez (Cheatom), who drives out to SeanвЂ™s remote cabin to give him his rigid list of supplies and medication. Actor Ty Hickson as Sean in these early scenes doesnвЂ™t say a lot, but Potrykus establishes immediately that this kid has some serious issues, including an unhealthy obsession with the occult.

The film was produced by Oscilloscope Laboratories and by producers Andrew D. Suffering from delusions of fortune, a young hermit hides out in. The film stars Ty Hickson as 'Sean' and Amari Cheatom as 'Cortez'. The Alchemist Cookbook: Directed by Joel Potrykus. The film was released on the 7th of October 2016 in New York City.
