Three guys and three gals, students or student types driving out into the country, and then unpredictable or just plain horrible things happening to them. Okay, they're in Ireland instead of the US, home of the road movie, teen flick, etc, That being said, there is nothing original so far, but add to this shrooms, which appears to be an abbreviation for not-so-magic mushrooms, and what do you have? Still nothing original.Yes, they're out in the wilds picking mushrooms, but please avoid the poisonous ones because at best they're hallucinogenic, and at worst you will experience a horrible death. So naturally one of their number takes a bite out of one, and this is where the fun begins. Well, the talking cow was fun, passably, but this film suffers from the same defect as so many when dream sequences and such are written into the script, namely the viewer has no idea when the horror is real or when it is in someone's head, even when two or more people are experiencing the same nightmare sequence. Or are they?There is a nice twist at the very end, one that makes sense, but even though it runs to less than 85 minutes you might not get that far.

high tension is one horror film that i like, also blair witch was not bad, so this is a mix of it. what is not fair...the film is not so bad as its rated, it is like some others underrated, and some other really really crap is higher rated then this, so give it a chance, its a nice way of passing the time, it it is written right ,-) ??? in Germany we said so...so try it out, it is worth i think it is not a homemade film, acting is okay... and even if it is predictable ... all in all it is a solid horror filmlike always...sorry for my Englishgreetings from cologne

Five American friends travel to Ireland for recreational drug use in the out of the way woods. Tara (Haun) is interested in reconnecting with Jake (Hutson) the local who is serving as the guide of the adventure. Jake tells the group they will be hallucinating while taking shrooms, and warns the group to stay away from a certain kind or certain death is assured. Jake tells of ancient druids who took the forbidden shrooms would gain entrance to another dimension if they survived. Tara has of course, already eaten one and soon there is a terrible killer stalking and killing our drugged out characters. Is it the hallucinations or is this slaughter really happening? This clever idea of alternate states allows this movie to get away with what is basically a stalk and kill movie underneath. There is definitely some fun to be had with this one, as the kills are pretty graphic and the imagery flashes with shocks. There is a big twist at the end that some may or may not see coming. Some good tension is built up and the movie works on a certain level delivering some solid scares along the way.

Too bad I can't give this movie a MINUS 10 because this kind of crap is so bad and evil that it should be forbidden (really!). I wish the director would have eaten a whole kilo of Death Caps himself before making this movie, so I wouldn't have to write this review at all!I suppose he just wanted to ride on the waves of the war against drugs and after the blacksheeping marijuana, now it's the poor mushroom's turn! This movie is so full of blatant lies (and/or misinformation) that I don't even know where to start...Let's start with the incredibly irresponsible Irish Idiot that takes the group to the woods: excellent idea to NOT TAKE a poisoning victim to a HOSPITAL! Bravo!Also the onset of the poisoning in the real life takes place 2 to 3 days after ingestion and death after a week or 2... so the girl having convulsions IMMEDIATELY after swallowing the cap, is outrageously incorrect. Also the Death Cap shown in the movie, is not a Death Cap at all! A Death Cap looks totally different. Black nipple thing is pure fiction. Science Fiction in this case, lol, since it's scientific facts that are being totally distorted here!So yeah, I suppose it's an excellent idea to party around the campfire while you know that one of your guests is dying alone in her tent, unless he is the killer, of course (which I dunno 'cause I didn't even finish the movie).I could fill a whole book on the (probably intentional) misinformation in this crappy piece of junk, but I won't because it's not even worth it.Suffice to say that it's a bucket full of lies, blacksheeping the beneficial gifts of mother nature, with the message that MOTHER EARTH IS DANGEROUS and should be DESTROYED (Oh, right! Sorry, I forgot that we already are doing that!), and the movie is giving shamanism a bad name.The director of this movie does not deserve the air he's breathing, that's a waste of mother nature's resources!Using scientific facts correctly, a very good movie could have been made, very entertaining and scary if you want, as well as informational and even educational at the same time... But no, this movie is of the worst kind in existence, spreading lies and robbing humanity of useful knowledge!I wonder what's next?
