“Advice is like mushrooms, the wrong one kind can prove fatal.” -Charles E. McKenzie (NIF),

Whoever made this poster is super proud. I need to stop by Spencer’s gifts to buy the fuzzy blacklight version.

Six pretty people take a drug tourism trip to Ireland in order to get mushrooms. Uh oh….a super dangrous mushroom that looks like the good mushrooms is also in the woods… strobe light style horror ensues. Parts of the film look really cool so I don’t want to write this off completely. There is work put into the visual effects that is enjoyable and the acting is better than the script. However, an 84 minutes movie with this concept I shouldn’t be pausing regularly to see how much time is left and I was constantly pausing. The script is VERY boring and by the end you don’t really care. Not a recommend.Read More »
