Anyone catch the "Shrooms" movie? It looks kinda shitty. just wondering if anyone saw it and what the general opinion is.

It's fucking shit. Yeah, it's a horror movie, but a shit one.
It starts off pretty well, but the actual storyline is gay.
I had to laugh at one part in the movie where the effects of the "evil" mushroom kicked in immediately after the chick ate it. I was like "but it takes way longer for the psiloybin to be metabolised! That's like, omg, so lame."
But yeah, shit movie.

Wow, yeah, definitely a horrific movie, they take every bad stereotype of mushrooms, throw in an assload of misinformation and top it off with grade A terrible acting...Not recommended to anyone.

Yes, I just watched it on the link you gave me, I honestly think this is one of the lamest horror movies ever, just sad in many many ways. Although it is more than likely a budget issue, the camera angles and effects just killed any weak perception of reality the movie may have had if it weren't so poorly written in the first place.

Very very horribly, they put a bunch of inexperienced kids in a foreign place with a shady unfamiliar trip sitter, picking their own mushrooms with absolutely no experience in hunting whatsoever, have them eat the wrong kinds of shrooms (that should take 45 minutes at least to kick in, not 2 secconds)and their location is a scary forest with crazy inbred locals running around.
Their relationships with each other are strained with gossip and boyfriend/girlfriend issues, and none of them are all too certain they even want to trip at all.
They're asking for a bad trip, their practically doing everything in their power to prevent a GOOD trip. It's fucking stupid to say the least.
The writers obviously did very VERY little research on Mushrooms, because there are alot of little errors and discrepancies that have no scientific grounds whatsoever.
Like I said, poorly written, poorly shot, poorly produced.
Shitty movie and a very ridiculously terrible portrayal of the magic mushroom experience.
(I'm not exactly sugar-coating anything, but this is my opinion.)

Well, I don't know, it would make a good "what not to do" guide I guess.

I doubt it was ever meant to be a realistic "this is what happens when you take mushrooms" movie. It wouldn't really be much of a horror movie if they got the set and setting right. Downside would be any idiot that doesn't know their shit to try and use that movie as an example of how mushrooms are so bad, yo.

lol i can't believe people are getting upset about this movie. For fucks sake, pick you panties out of your ass, i especially like the 14 paragraph post on how people in a movie could have prevented a bad trip. It's a fucking horror movie, if there was no "bad trip" there would be no fucking movie!
The information on mushrooms presented in the movie is very small because that's not what the movie is about. The only real mushroom featured is the lib cap with a made up "death cap" mushroom to move the movie along. The information presented about the mushroom was fairly accurate, the only thing that you could really bitch about is identifying the shroom by the "nipple" on the top of the cap. Other then that it was a pretty generic horror movie with a plot twist you saw coming from a mile away. Definitely worth a watch if you can do so for free on the internet.
-------------------- To get really high is to forget yourself. And to forget yourself is to see everything else. And to see everything else is to become an understanding molecule in evolution, a conscious tool of the universe. And I think every human being should be a conscious tool of the universe. . . . -JG i really am glad you came back to us instead of taking the other path. *hug* -A_S (RIP your final words to me will never be forgotten) Don't fuck with the laughing jesus.

It's a horror movie, and one of the frightening elements in it is the venture in the unknown that is identifying wild mushrooms and tripping itself.
There's a lot of bogus mushroom facts in there but i do get the sneaking suspicion someone involved in the making of the movie did some research at the shroomery, to then twist it out of proportion.
It's a nice horror movie, but it is about as instructive about mushrooms as The Silence Of The Lambs is instructive about real life serial killers.
Its a reasonable horror movie. Enjoy it as such and forget you know better

Turns out one of the major influences for this movie is a person who used to be affiliated with anti-drugs propaganda
