Irish horror movie lacks a punch

Shrooms

Director: Paddy Breathnach

Cast: Jack Huston, Lindsey Haun, Sean McGinley, Don Wycherley

Cert: 18

Horror films of this kind do seem to have run out of originality. Here we have the standard group of friends - American college kids in Ireland - in the woods, sampling the 'shrooms' and finding them deadly.

One of the party takes a particularly deadly 'shroom' and sees into a sinister future. But, alas, nothing about the film is remotely scary and therefore nothing about it is strong enough to hold our attention.
