Shrooms

Shrooms (2007) is an Irish horror film you can watch online on iFILM. Directed by Paddy Breathnach, it sends a group of American college students into the Irish countryside to camp, bond and hunt for the local magic mushrooms their friend Jake has been talking up.

Tara, Bluto, Lisa, Troy and Holly get their trip — and then something starts picking them off. Lindsey Haun and Jack Huston lead the cast, with a young Jack Gleeson appearing years before his Game of Thrones fame. Once the psychedelics take hold, the film commits to blurring the line between hallucination and reality, which is a smarter move than a straight slasher would make: the audience doesn't know either.

Shot in actual Irish forest locations that give the whole thing a damp, lightless atmosphere that's harder to fake on a set. It's not reinventing the genre, but the fog between what's happening and what's imagined gives it a particular kind of dread. Stream Shrooms (2007) online on iFILM.
