Comparative research: Shrooms

'Shrooms' is a 2007 horror film rated 18, directed by Paddy Breathnach.

Three couples go to Ireland woods to collect magic mushrooms and trip out. On their way they meet some strange inhabitants of the woods and it doesn't take long until a creepy story is being told at the campfire which might be more than just a story. So strange things happen, people start disappearing, silhouettes move through the woods and the creepy story starts to melt into reality. The horror kicks in along with the effect of the mushrooms.

http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/shrooms/ This website gives an insight on how the film was reviewed. Unfortunately, the percentages for audience rating is quite low. On average, out of 15,653 people, Shrooms got a rating of 2.6 out of 5.

On IMDB, 6,677 IMDb users have given a weighted average vote of 4.7 / 10. Here, I can also work out their target audience as it shows what gender and ages are more likely to watch the film and if they liked it or not. Although females have rated the film higher than males by 0.3, there were only 909 who have voted. Whereas 5,048 males have voted. So this information may be flawed and does not contain accurate data. However, we can analyse that more males have perhaps watched the film, and have visited the website and offered to vote.
