We’ve all had moments when we sit back and ponder how oh so unorthodox and outlandish or even bold and bright a film can be, only to find out it revolves around a hallucination. The 2007 Shrooms comes to mind as being at the top of the list since it is utterly bizarre, and the filmmakers of the movie seem to have been completely sober throughout its production.
Shrooms’ narrative kicks off with a pure hearted girl named Tara who boards a flight to Ireland with acquaintances from her college. She, along with them, sets out to take a tour that focuses on the region’s psychedelic products. She, along with some other randoms, become a part of that less liked group of college students. Just like all movies, these students are constructed to be extremely unlikable and relatable. This character group seems to have a reason to dislike each other, though it isn’t very obvious. As for the film, it is a good “case study” for the negative effects these film characters have. The students are devoid of any motives which drastically raise the level of meaninglessness the film has.
In a nutshell, Tara and everyone around her has presumably spent hundreds to thousands of dollars just to get stoned with people they despise. This results in them being somewhere around an abandoned orphanage, a broken down shack full of sadistic rural people, and a type of mushroom that looks eerily similar to the ones that get you high, except it kills you. And Tara manages to consume the lethal lookalike very soon and basically comes close to death; from here on out, she has terrible violent seizures while her friends trip brutally visualize what their eventual death may look like.
It is also one of the very few movies that is consistently depressing throughout. It is difficult to tell what is happening in many of the nighttime scenes, and even the hallucinations appear to have a blue tint. To enjoy a film set in the wilderness of Ireland, as Shrooms allegedly does, is already unfathomable. If it is also paired with drugs, then you might just have trouble from the start. For instance, some of the other most enduring parts of this film feature Shrooms dragging his audience from one scene to the other. Shrooms both the teenage drug and the film are reputed to cause intense horror with periods of sheer frustration in between. Maybe that is why the ending of the film is so startling remorselessly switching from one captivating concept to another with little exposition in between.
Quite astonishingly, there seems to be an excessive amount of people engrossed in similar activities for equally long periods without a single interesting event to show for it. There is an overabundance in the horror category of entertaining duds alongside many terrifying and rather funny movies, but Shrooms is regrettably not one of them.
