“I saw the advert for u0026quot;shroomsu0026quot; and instantly wanted to see it so i rented a copy. I think the real clincher that will get this film an audience is the fact that it brings the drug element into a horror. I was hoping for a very trippy film that was so messed up you donu0026#39;t know whether to scream or rewind and rethink.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eUnfortunately u0026quot;Shroomsu0026quot; goes for the premonition approach. After taking a bad shroom, Tera the main girl starts u0026quot;seeing thingsu0026quot;. I just thought from that point on iu0026#39;d seen it all before. I was right. Most of this film is simply people walking around, looking for something with a scared look on their face. The whole back story seems to be a relatively regurgatated camp fire tale that is used in most films u0026quot;a bad house, kids are abused, one messed up kid leftu0026quot;- come on this just isnu0026#39;t scary.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAdmittedly the ending is clever, but again not the most original.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe potential this film had is wasted on what seems to be a boring storyline. Not much trippyness or edge of your seat tension, just another B-grade horror.”
