Cinematography is strangely compelling in what is otherwise a predictable, by-the-numbers slasher.

Not only is Jake a mushroom expert, but he's fluent in scary stories!

An "Irish" film filled with annoying generic american teens portraying the same unlikeable characters as a trillion other B movies.

On the one hand, it's not godawful. On the other, it comes damn close. I really liked the premise, which allows for kids to make moronic decisions and have some freaky visuals. But what's the deal with using a feral kid, a burlap sack wearing kid ánd a man in robes as antagonists? It's all over the place with a second half that runs out of steam pretty fast.

Why, oh why would someone take a shroom that has been specifically described as freakin' most deadly/dangerous of all? The face on the girl (while eating it anyway) is priceless in itself. At that moment I thought, yeah, whatever.

The only reason this film even gets as high a score as it does from me is that it claims to be a mindfuck from the description of itself. Having said that though, it is far from a comprehensive mindfuck as it could be, which would have made it much better. Shrooms follows some really generic horror movie stereotyped kids as they get high on mushrooms and aren't sure what's going on. This is another one of those films that ends showing you something different from what acutally went down.

The cow rules! Not too bad of a movie as I thought that this would have been a joke, but it wasn't. Easily guessed ending, but still some good kills and some fairly decent acting.

It's got a decent style but after a while you just get tired of a film clearly filmed during the day that's been darkened and then blue'd in post production, not to mention the jump-out scares where nothing happens. The acting is standard fair for a horror movie and the twist is easily guessed. Basically it's a j-horror only with shroom induced "trips" to justify those kinds of visual effects. Overall it's not very good but there's far worse out there.
