Irish premiere turns into horror show

A CLAIM that Ireland has the “best magic mushrooms in the world” leads to horror in a new Irish movie from the team who previously made the likes of I Went Down and Man About Dog.

Shrooms premiered last night in Dublin but won’t go on general release in Ireland and Britain until the end of the month. The makers hope to capitalise on the current appetite for bloodthirsty, gory horror flicks.

With its theme revolving around students in the wild, it’s already being compared with the cult horror hit The Blair Witch Project.
