alexlincs 2nd Feb 2022		Rated 6/10 Shrooms takes bits of the stoner comedy movies which saw a resurrection in the 00s with "Dude Where's My Car?" and the Harold and Kumar films and adds it to Folklorean slasher conventions. It doesn't do anything particularly well. The characters are a bit annoying and underwritten. However, Sean McGinley and Don Wycherley as Bernie and Ernie are brilliant playing the yokels who live in the woods, giving darkly humorous deadpan delivery to some truly silly lines. It suffers from editing choices that date a lot of 00s films; high contrast photography, grainy flashbacks and jarring jumpcuts, not to mention handheld camera shots. The film has some funny scenes, but it could have done with a few more jokes. The film delivers just enough gore, but it goes for more of a supernatural angle, which doesn't quite work as the plot get jumbled near the end. This was borderline between a 5 and a 6 for me, but I think there is just enough to recommend it. It was made for 3.5 million Euro, but it doesn't in anyway look cheap. The DVD and Blu-Ray are also very cheap to buy at present and in abundance. 3 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
