Attack of the Mushroom People
Brief Synopsis
Read More
A lunatic in a padded cell tells the tale of a boatload of vacationers being stranded on a mysterious, fog-shrouded island where they begin eating toadstools, then turn into giant toadstools themselves. The only humans remaining are two lovers but the woman craves the toadstools so much she weakens and eats one, joining the staggering vegetables who used to be her friends. Only the youth escapes to the mainland and an insane asylum to recount the weird experience. Of course, no one believes him until mushroom-like growths begin to appear on his face. It's too much for any intelligent mind to accept, but this film remains a cult movie to the sci-fi/fantasy aficionados.
