Shrooms

Turns into a pedestrian slice 'n' dice feature.

By-the-numbers item, in which five American college students literally get wasted while tripping out on magic mushrooms in rural Ireland, is OK vid fodder with few real scares and not an ounce of originality.

The film's one original moment comes when Bluto has a conversation with a cow. The rest of it, from the distorting lens used randomly to suggest unreality, to the twist ending lifted verbatim from the superior "High Tension," is about as imaginative as a portobello steak with onions.

Esta película, si es que se le puede llamar así, es una completa idiotez, se deja ver apenas, es torpe y ridícula, la escena de la vaca que habla fue suficiente como para no querer seguir viendo más esta basura.

Just...well. 3/10 is mean, I'll admit, but it was just one of those films that I managed to watch the entire duration of with nothing but a somewhat unimpressed face on. I didn't like any of the characters, I found them all to be so stupid that I didn't really mind the fact that their trip was clearly not going to go all too well for them. It did make me jump, but the film relied almost 100% on jump scares, a pet hate of mine. Sure, have a few drinks and give it a watch but I can't see how this film is really anything but a fairly standard slasher film in fancy dress. Just don't take a trip and go wandering around in the pitch black woods and chances are, you'll be fine, lesson learned, thanks film.
