What Is Bottles About?

The premise of Bottles without spoilers.

On a dark, storm‑rattled night inside a cramped drugstore, the solitary druggist concocts a mysterious potion before drifting into sleep as thunder booms outside. Suddenly, the skull‑and‑crossbones emblem on the bottle stirs, the bottle awakens, and its eerie liquid drips onto the unsuspecting druggist, sealing a strange, uncanny fate.
