When five American college students arrive in Ireland to go on camping trip with their old college buddy Jake, they are in high spirits. Jake has promised them the 'trip' of a lifetime' because he cla...( read more  read more... )ims Ireland has the best magic mushrooms in the world. It sounded like it would be great fun. Now that they are tripping things don't seem so funny. Bluto, one of the gang is missing. Tara thinks he's dead because she feels she has seen his death before but nobody believes her they think she is just out of it. They're out of it too. That was the whole point of coming here, but there is something out there, something watching them, something that will kill them if they don't get out of the forest and get help.

    It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be and it was even a little creepy. The story itself was decent enough; a group of friends fly all the way to Ireland to do shrooms and meet up with another friend. They camp out in the woods and find all these shrooms to do. During their sh...( read more)room trip, crazy things starts happening, maybe they are hallucinating or maybe not. It is low budget, so don't expect too much.

    The very beginning of this films looks quite realistic and gives hope of potential, when within seconds it changes to a very typical teen travelling Horror.

    Just in case the American teens, along with the Irish friend (who doesn?t actually sound Irish) do not give you the hint...( read more) that this is based in Ireland, look out for the token Irish Dancers in the airport near the beginning of the film ? there you have it, we are in Ireland!

    Like many Teen Horrors previously, each of the characters are strategically created to clash with other personalities, which give you a ?been there seen it, kind of feel?.

    There is a little credit due for the original plot using magic mushrooms which led to some quite good trippy moments, which I won?t spoil for you.

    All in all, it was an easy watching Horror film with little glimmers of originality, but it really doesn?t offer that much more than any other film within this genre.

    A very average slasher that is a bit of a let down really. Not scary, gory or anything memorable about it and the ending was the only saving grace, but even that was half predictable.

    This films only real redeeming factor is a talking cow. Everything else is horribly simple film making that is incredibly similar to every other stalk and slash film. It's a made for TV film that somehow managed to drag itself onto cinema screens. Annoying American teenagers who ...( read more)don't seem to be friends but apparently are go on holiday and do mushrooms. It could have been a great opportunity for some cheesy horror comedy but instead it attempts to play it straight. You guess the twist in minutes and watch as the characters are killed off. No enjoyment, nothing to say and nothing innovative leaves just a shallow film that is mercifully short.

    This isn't nearly as bad as I anticipated it to be. The story keeps some of its promise all the way through the second reel. The killers' designs are actually interesting and fear-inducing, though the kill scenes themselves are pretty uninspired (most boring and ineffective cast...( read more)ration ever too).

    It's too long a thing to explain how this story could have been salvaged. Simply put, some injection of humor and cliche removal. As a silly ghost/slasher story taking itself soberly seriously though, it's not as bad as most things I endure. I'm actually gonna rewatch this, if only to be scared shitless again by the wolf boy.

    Retooling the image would require taking a more uniformed approach to camera effects, instead of compiling a diversified packet of "the camera tricks I learned in film school". The "tripping" could have been more consistently rendered and indicated, delineated from other different or "non-tripping" segments. There is no sense of blur or contrast here between "what is the trip vs. what is real" because the filming techniques seem too arbitrary instead of purposed.

    Too repetitive for my liking.
  • October 22, 2009
    Such a confusing film it made my head spin! I never knew what was really happening at all! Not bad though.
