Supernatural-Thriller

Supernatural-Thriller films use common supernatural themes that are considered mysterious. Unlike other sub-genres, Supernatural-Thrillers thrive on “edge of the seat” feeling, to build up the atmosphere. The audience is in an almost constant state of anticipation. The plot usually revolves around a mysterious event or person and the quest to find out the truth.

USA Today

"The filmmaker keeps upping the ante with surprises until the plot-twist beaut that concludes the picture - a shocker that, upon reflection, is probably the one ending that wouldn't have fallen a little flat."

Chicago Tribune

"Perhaps the most startling part is the realization that, in the turn-off-your-brain season of summer, you've just experienced an uncommonly serious-minded movie that's brave enough to engage our deepest emotions on 

issues of death, madness, illusion and forgiveness. That's the biggest thrill of them all."

Shrooms(2007) 

Shrooms is a 2007 horror film about a group of American students and their Irish guide who are stalked by a serial killer while out in the woods looking for psilocybin mushrooms. The film was written by Pearse Elliott directed by Paddy Breathnach, and stars Lindsey Haun, Jack Huston, and Max Kasch.

Shrooms is a modern mystery/ horror/ thriller film about a group of young people on a trip out in the Ireland woods, experimenting with the magic mushrooms they gather in the forest. Just like our film, Shrooms is a film showing the bad side of the hallucinogenic drugs in the darkest way possible. The group of youngsters in the forest lose the judgment of what's real and what is not and the whole trip starts turning into a nightmare. In our production we tried to make the same effect on the audience as the Shrooms. The purposer/ aim of the plot of the Shrooms is pretty much the same as the aim of the plot of Trip, we just want to show that hallucinogenic drugs can be terrifying as well as attractive and that very often they blurr the boundary between the trip and reality.

Shrooms wasn't such a successful film, probably because of the low budget, not very well known  (and not very experienced) director and a lack of good/ well known actors. The film lacked attractiveness in its "slashing" horror like scenes. pretty
