Shrooms is a 2007 horror film about a group of American backpackers and their Irish guide who are stalked by a serial killer while out in the woods looking for psychedelic mushrooms. The film was directed by Paddy Breathnach, and stars Lindsey Haun, Jack Huston, and Max Kasch.
"The actual idea for the movie goes back to a time when I was taking mushrooms with friends,’’ says writer Pearse Elliott, for whom Shrooms is his third feature film (he wrote Man About Dog and was both screenwriter and director on The Mighty Celt). ‘’I thought it would be interesting to make a horror film about such an important aspect of youth culture.’’
For director Paddy Breathnach (I Went Down), the idea of making a film in the horror vein had always appealed. “The idea of making the story more psychological by using mushrooms was even more exciting and that’s when we went ahead.’’

This movie is taking the narrative drive of the American teen slasher movie,’’ explains producer Rob Walpole, ‘’and crossing it with the tone of the Asian horror genre, in that the thing that’s doing the haunting and the scaring is coming from within.’’ The movie has some tongue in cheek elements too, but he continues, ultimately “we want to scare the bejaysus out of people!’’
