Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Casey Duggan It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

a_baron Three guys and three gals, students or student types driving out into the country, and then unpredictable or just plain horrible things happening to them. Okay, they're in Ireland instead of the US, home of the road movie, teen flick, etc, That being said, there is nothing original so far, but add to this shrooms, which appears to be an abbreviation for not-so-magic mushrooms, and what do you have? Still nothing original.Yes, they're out in the wilds picking mushrooms, but please avoid the poisonous ones because at best they're hallucinogenic, and at worst you will experience a horrible death. So naturally one of their number takes a bite out of one, and this is where the fun begins. Well, the talking cow was fun, passably, but this film suffers from the same defect as so many when dream sequences and such are written into the script, namely the viewer has no idea when the horror is real or when it is in someone's head, even when two or more people are experiencing the same nightmare sequence. Or are they?There is a nice twist at the very end, one that makes sense, but even though it runs to less than 85 minutes you might not get that far.

Amthermandes Shrooms is one of those movies you should already know everything about before even watching it, just based on the premise. A group of friends experiencing mushrooms trips in the wilderness, turns into a deadly fiasco indistinguishable from reality. A standard run-of-the-mill campy horror flick, complete with a horror movie starter-set cast; the smart and relatable lead female character, the annoying idiot jock, the goofball stoner, the b*tch, the outcast female, and the handsome nice guy (who also is occasionally, like in this case, the foreigner). The movie has good, maybe even great moments. I especially like the 2 "locals," their characters aren't new to this genre, but they're fun and quite creepy and add an interesting flare to the movie. Some of the effects are well done, and the story is entertaining enough to keep you interested, and the very end gives the movie a nice touch.However, the movie is riddled with clichés, the predictable jumps scares, and the gore effects aren't as good as they could have been. There's a part towards the end of the movie where they had so many chances to make to good, but it turned out rather boring. Everything else is pretty standard, nothing special or particularly bad about the acting, directing, or screenplay. In short, it's an average run-of-the-mill horror flick. If you're looking for something amazing, this isn't it, but if you're bored or are just a horror fan looking to enlarge your viewing collection, it's definitely worth a watch.My favorite scene: The scene in the home of the two locals, I love the dialogue between them, very unsettling.

fraggy Too bad I can't give this movie a MINUS 10 because this kind of crap is so bad and evil that it should be forbidden (really!). I wish the director would have eaten a whole kilo of Death Caps himself before making this movie, so I wouldn't have to write this review at all!I suppose he just wanted to ride on the waves of the war against drugs and after the blacksheeping marijuana, now it's the poor mushroom's turn! This movie is so full of blatant lies (and/or misinformation) that I don't even know where to start...Let's start with the incredibly irresponsible Irish Idiot that takes the group to the woods: excellent idea to NOT TAKE a poisoning victim to a HOSPITAL! Bravo!Also the onset of the poisoning in the real life takes place 2 to 3 days after ingestion and death after a week or 2... so the girl having convulsions IMMEDIATELY after swallowing the cap, is outrageously incorrect. Also the Death Cap shown in the movie, is not a Death Cap at all! A Death Cap looks totally different. Black nipple thing is pure fiction. Science Fiction in this case, lol, since it's scientific facts that are being totally distorted here!So yeah, I suppose it's an excellent idea to party around the campfire while you know that one of your guests is dying alone in her tent, unless he is the killer, of course (which I dunno 'cause I didn't even finish the movie).I could fill a whole book on the (probably intentional) misinformation in this crappy piece of junk, but I won't because it's not even worth it.Suffice to say that it's a bucket full of lies, blacksheeping the beneficial gifts of mother nature, with the message that MOTHER EARTH IS DANGEROUS and should be DESTROYED (Oh, right! Sorry, I forgot that we already are doing that!), and the movie is giving shamanism a bad name.The director of this movie does not deserve the air he's breathing, that's a waste of mother nature's resources!Using scientific facts correctly, a very good movie could have been made, very entertaining and scary if you want, as well as informational and even educational at the same time... But no, this movie is of the worst kind in existence, spreading lies and robbing humanity of useful knowledge!I wonder what's next?

kristina_dey The movie itself wasn't all that bad but the plot was definitely confusing, even towards the end. It still leaves you with questions that never get answered.The overall plot could have been better and not so disappointing. The actors are definitely names you haven't heard of before but you can already see that they may not be getting acting roles anytime in the near future.Buying this movie would be a waste of money to me unless you want to add to a never ending collection just because. Seeing it on the other hand is not too bad of an idea if you are bored and have nothing better to do with your time.
