Seeing as how horror flicks of a decent caliber have been quite hard to come by lately, I do get excited when I see a preview for what looks to be a good time, and I was pumped for Shrooms. Ha, don't think I've heard myself think that since grade 10, but that is a sad tale of hallucinations and socks left for another eve...
College kids, evenly matched, guys to girls (before you get excited, as a horror fan I must say, no boob :( ), arrive in Ireland during Mushroom season (book your tix now kiddies), and set up camp way out in the woods to get mad high, and fornicate. Can you guess what happens? Okay, let's count together and then just say it, and see. 1...2...3... They all get really high and then start disappearing, and get more high, and get brutally killed, all the while trying to figure out if it's real, or just shroom by products. Jinx.
There are some real funny moments in here, script is a lot of fun, plot is just so simple and brainless good times. Even through in some backwoods inbreds, that hey, news flash, aren't cannibals, just decent dumb folks. Now there's something about a evil priest, and dead kids, not really important. It's just drugs and blood, oh, and did i mention a talking cow... Yes, and you thought all they did was moo, and get their giant nipples jacked.... nope.
Acting is about par, but the story moves so fast you probably won't notice. And trust if you have ever "experimented" with the drugs, well you might even find yourself with mad feelings of sympathy. There is a lot to enjoy as a horror fan, except, no real jumps, at least for us true fans. But your girl (and I do not mean to say there are not real female horror fans, I only make a point assuming you are dating a prep, girlish type who dragged your ass to Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants) will jump a couple of times. You'll probably just smile and laugh a lot. And what more can you ask for. Hey, even the ending doesn't suck... Sorry I'm just always excited about things holding together in the last few minutes... well you know my ending hatred, if you've read some of my other reviews.
