Storyline

Eight young people drive to the Swiss Jura region, food and tents in the trunk. It's autumn and high season for a magic mushroom that grows there - the reason for their trip. After a few problems they arrive at the desired location deep in the woods, the tents are set up, the mushrooms are collected and when it gets dark the party starts. Everything is fine until one of the youths wants to get beer and comes back with a blood-covered and smashed face. They don't know what happened but need to find help. As they discover that their car has a flat tire and their phones don't work, they seek shelter in a nearby farmhouse. But that's just where they were supposed to go...

Goofs

Before being stabbed in the eye with garden shears, a character is gagged with silk stockings, worn by the forester's daughter. It is later revealed that it was not the forester's daughter who committed the crime, but a member of the traveling group. However, the girl who committed the crime was not wearing silk stockings as she is a hiker and doesn't wear silk stockings.

User Reviews

Stands well above the mediocrity of the modern slasher with beautiful cinemetography and great vertigo shots.

One Way Trip 2011 This was an unexpected pleasant suprise! Beautiful foriegn horror from Austria with gorgeous scenery and constantly changing creepy locations and one twist after another. What a ride! I really enjoyed this awesome horror flick with some great gore and quite a few surprises. The camera work on this was way better than the average horror flick I've seen latley and it made me want more. With an injection of a few really cool 3d scenes and some great vertigo shots toward the end I felt this was above the average quality of an American horror film experience. I'll be looking for more like this from these creators. Highly recommended! Stands well above the average fare you sigh at on prime digging for something remotely resembling a film nowadays. Also lands quite a few notches above "Shrooms" this is not a comedy film. This is a Horror action film!
