When a group of American college students arrange to meet their friend in the remote Irish countryside for a weekend of camping, drinking and getting high on the local magic mushrooms they have no idea that their holiday is set to end in bloody tragedy. However, when Tara (Lindsey Haun, TV's Star Trek: Deep Space Nine) mistakenly eats a mushroom which causes extreme rage and the ability to communicate with the dead, things rapidly go downhill! To make matters worse, mushroom expert Jake (Jack Huston, Factory Girl) then reveals that their campsite is close to an abandoned children's home with a dark and murderous past. Mixing the creeping dread of Japanese horror films with the impending doom of The Blair Witch Project and its own Celtic flair, Shrooms builds to a taut finale before letting rip with its final twist. Directed by Paddy Breathnach (I Went Down, Man About Dog) and featuring a cast of up-and-coming stars, Shrooms shows there isn't "mush-room" for any other horror film this April. |
