Shrooms!
By Dennis Dermody
Finally caught Shrooms the other night which is out on DVD on Magnet. It's about a bunch of Americans who go to Ireland and meet up with a friend who takes them out to the wilderness to do some serious tripping on shrooms. Directed by Paddy Breathnach and starring cute kids like Lindsey Haun (Village Of The Damned) and Jack Huston, it's a lot of fun, especially when the lead girl stupidly takes a bite out of the Death's Head Mushroom -- which looks like a mushroom with a black nipple and seriously freaks out. The bloody mayhem that follows is very entertaining, especially one scene with a dude in his underpants conversing with a talking cow in the moonlight who says to him: "You know, you are dead fucked!" The ending is stupid but the rest of it is immensely enjoyable in a junk food way.
