First there was REEFER MADNESS - now there is SHROOMS!!!

Hey folks, Harry here... Don't you love it when folks that know absolutely nothing about a subject decide to write a horror exploitation movie using that something as a basis for it? The problem with psychedelic cinema is that each trip is so individual and internal that trying to describe it to an effects technician or make it interesting for an audience is next to impossible. And is there anything more boring than someone trying to describe just how amazing something like 'shrooms feels - when you have no interest in trying them - nevermind the illegality of said experience. That said - everyone that I know that has done shrooms loves the experience - so when a movie like SHROOMS comes out that tries to play on the fear campaign of the right, while playing to the hip cool of the left - you end up with a movie that doesn't seem to serve either audience... it just feels lame. That said - you can see this movie free on HDMOV before it opens theatrically thanks to Mark Cuban - so if you have that channel, invite a bunch of friends over... brew some shroom tea and make a party out of it... right?

Enjoy the Trip!
