Not such a magic mushroom

There have been worse horror thrillers than this, but not many. Paddy Breathnach's story follows five American college students on a camping trip in Ireland, where they eat too many magic mushrooms.

"The hook is that the characters in the film are not sure if what's happening to them is real or if they are just tripping," says producer Robert Walpole.

Nor was I, but either way Jack Huston, Lindsay Haun and the cast hardly make you care one way or the other.
