Starring: Lindsey Haun, Jack Huston, Max Kasch, Maya Hazen, Alice Greczyn

Rated: N/A

My Rating: 2/5

I knew before I even seen this movie that it was going to be a weird one. I'm not the biggest fan of those types of films, but I still had high expectations for this one. Unfortunately, I was let down. The movie follows a group of people on a trip to Ireland. They plan to take shrooms and have a good time. One of the characters describes a certain type of mushroom that is not to be eaten due to its effects of premonition, shapeshifting, other supernatural abilites, and possible death. One of the characters misses the lecture and of course eats one them.

The beginning was pretty slow, but finally the shrooms set in and the action picks up. The characters seem to think they are being hunted by someone or something. The question is whether there really is a killer, or are they just imagining all of this? As I suspected, the movie was a bit of a thinker. It had potential, but by the end, I couldn't wait for the movie to be over. Once the ending finally came into play, I wasn't all that happy. I was really expecting a better twist.

Have to disagree with you I'm afraid, but this is mostly because I like movies that make you think and this one did just that! Very good review of the movie though. :)
