Storyline

3 couples go to Ireland woods to collect magic mushrooms and trip out. On their way they meet some strange inhabitants of the woods and it doesn't take long until a creepy story is being told at the campfire which might be more than just a story. So strange things happen, people start disappearing, silhouettes move through the woods and the creepy story starts to melt into reality. The horror kicks in along with the effect of the mushrooms.

Quotes

[first lines]
Tara: [as Tara looks at a photograph of her and Jake] Someone's got it bad.
Lisa: No, I don't. It was just a... summer thing.
Tara: That's why you're travelling 5000 miles to see him.
Lisa: It's not to see him. I'm here just like the rest of you, you know. See Ireland. Do shrooms.
Tara: Tara, I've known you all my life and I've never even see you take an aspirin.

User Reviews

good movie..... o wait this was supposed to be scary?

i thought this movie was good until i realized it was meant to be a horror film. then in that case id say it was pretty crappy at being a scary movie, otherwise it was a mediocre film wasn't terrible most definitely wasn't good but it was bearable it was just a bunch of stolen scenes thrown together but i suppose who can blame them it must be getting hard to create new good ideas that are fresh for movies. did however seem to be kinda reefer like madness kinda saying if u do shrooms it will make u a killer but i think most people are smart enough to look past that message and to know that they should make their opinions themselves and accept fact as fact and fiction as fiction i don't do shrooms and i even think its kinda harsh saying if u do shrooms you will talk to a cow and become a serial killer.
