Deep in an Irish forest, caught between hallucinations and reality, a group
of American teenagers get gruesomely bumped off one by one after taking
mushrooms on a quest for an amazing high.
Get ready to get wasted tasting a moment of madness. Five Americans head to rural Ireland for fungi fun on an organized package holiday where magic mushrooms are the Party Central fuel. But there's one psychedelic mushroom with a black spot on its cap that promotes the strongest of hallucinogenic trips. It's that potent variety Tara ingests... Just as her college friends start getting brutally slain by a shadowy maniac. As stark reality blurs with frenzied fantasy and drug delirium turns their love-in to one of hateful violence, Tara must separate fact from illusion if she is to survive a Lovely Sort of Death! Adding smart twists and turns to the teens in slasher peril fear format, director Paddy Breathnach's short, sharp shocker piles on an arsenal of visual trickery for high acid style. The raft of accomplished performances further makes Shrooms a top attraction in the growing Irish horror stakes.
