I love this movie so much

The movie's only flaw is also a virtue: It's jammed with characters, stories, warmth and laughs.

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

The first must-see film of the year.

Shrooms falls into the rather typical horror plot of a group of good lucking teens in the middle of the woods with a killer running amok. The difference with this one, they were all off it after taking mushrooms, and they were randomly in Ireland. Every cliché you can imagine, plus the most shocking waste of the brilliant Sean McGinley that you can imagine, how dare they have given him such a crap role.There were some interesting bits, some of the imagery was rather good, especially the moments in the woods, the camera-work is rather good, and it has the talking cow, which is arguably the best bit of the film. The revelation of who the killer is can also be deemed somewhat of a success (I kept being reminded of The Ward.)I think a 5 is a fair reflection of the film, some positives, but way too much wasted potential. It's watchable, but only on a rare occasion.

Here we go again...... bunch of asinine kids out for kicks and it all goes wrong... like the people who decided they'd make a movie called SHROOMS. They ought to have called it STOOLS because it stinks like (you know what). Of course, as is required for just about all crappy amateurish horror flicks, most of it has to be shot in almost-totally-black conditions, and with a distinct lack of acting or directorial ability. In this cinematic extravagance, a blue filter is used, too, most creative! Thank goodness this was one of a large bulk lot of DVDs I bought for a very low sum. No real money wasted, and I kept busy online while the flick was running, didn't need much attention at all. All in all, a lousy movie. On the plus side, it has subtitles.

Shrooms is one of those movies you should already know everything about before even watching it, just based on the premise. A group of friends experiencing mushrooms trips in the wilderness, turns into a deadly fiasco indistinguishable from reality. A standard run-of-the-mill campy horror flick, complete with a horror movie starter-set cast; the smart and relatable lead female character, the annoying idiot jock, the goofball stoner, the b*tch, the outcast female, and the handsome nice guy (who also is occasionally, like in this case, the foreigner). The movie has good, maybe even great moments. I especially like the 2 "locals," their characters aren't new to this genre, but they're fun and quite creepy and add an interesting flare to the movie. Some of the effects are well done, and the story is entertaining enough to keep you interested, and the very end gives the movie a nice touch.However, the movie is riddled with clichés, the predictable jumps scares, and the gore effects aren't as good as they could have been. There's a part towards the end of the movie where they had so many chances to make to good, but it turned out rather boring. Everything else is pretty standard, nothing special or particularly bad about the acting, directing, or screenplay. In short, it's an average run-of-the-mill horror flick. If you're looking for something amazing, this isn't it, but if you're bored or are just a horror fan looking to enlarge your viewing collection, it's definitely worth a watch.My favorite scene: The scene in the home of the two locals, I love the dialogue between them, very unsettling.

Maybe I am too old but this was a movie that I don't think should have been made. Maybe someones love interest needed a show piece? First why the hell would you travel all the way to Ireland to trip on some mushrooms? There plenty available in the U.S. Tara takes what I guess would be called a death cap and survives. This gives her "the second sight" able to see some of the future. The only problem is everyone is still tripping on the shrooms. Since there are no black people in this movie the steroid using rage freak is the first to die. They start dieing off one by one. All this from a myth that is true. There seems to be four creatures involved. The only boy to survive the massacre in the boys school because he was with the guard dogs in the kennel (from the shot of his mouth when Holly dies, a cannibal), a sadistic pedophile "Brother" of the monastery that ran the school and two very inbred woods men(?). For some reason the police show up at the end and saves Tara. She is actually the killer of everyone. Possessed? Psycho from the shroom? I don't know but I will admit the ending was a little surprising to me.
