Shrooms
As in 'mushrooms'. This dire horror movie represents everything wrong with Irish cinema - unoriginal, technically polished, boring, Americanised, and crap. It's a horror film made by people with no interest in the genre. A group of young people visit Ireland and trip out in the woods on fungi (not the dolphin!). The only enjoyable part was spotting the superior horror films that Shrooms ripped off. Complete crap - bet young Irish directors will have trouble financing their horror films now because Shrooms has made us a laughing stock?
