Shrooms
// November 23rd, 2007 // Reviews
Tonight I saw Shrooms. I always thought it would be on the wrong side of ‘good’ and didn’t really want to go in the first place - except there was little to do after work, and decided to ‘take it in’ with a workmate. So to say I was surprised by this movie is very much something. Of course, it’s not that I was surprised that it was ‘brilliant’ or even ‘good’ - I was surprised at just had abysmally BAD this movie is. With a plot straight out of something a 12 year old might write for a GCSE English assignment, with laughable characters who I literally laughed at over and over til the end of the 90 minutes, with a ‘twist’ that was guessed after only 30 minutes. From the first minute the film exudes crapness - yes, the movie is called shrooms, that probably means you don’t need to squeeze the word into the first 5 minutes of the movie about 94 times - and until the credits roll there isn’t a redeeming moment. Along the way, this movie takes even single Horror genre ‘idiot move’ and throws them at the unwilling watcher like they were nuggets of gold that can’t be lived without. The movie left me dizzy and exhausted, scared at how bad movies can actually be, and feeling that I’ve seen the worst movie I’ll see until the day I die. 0/10
