Fungicide is about a mad scientist who goes on a forced vacation and finds himself at a bed and breakfast. On the way in he trips and drops a vile of a potion that he has been working on. The liquid spills through the cracks of the porch and dribbles onto the Mushrooms underneath. naturally the mushrooms start to mutate into Killer mushrooms.
Shot on a seriously low budget and with actors that are obviously armatures. This really is a very silly film. The mushrooms range from CGI to people dressed as mushrooms (full size) along with hand puppet mushrooms.
There is some gore on display, but some of the effects are weird, to say the least. In one attack sequence the victim looks like one of those masks you used to make at school, by blowing up a balloon and then sticking paper masc-he over it until it drys, bursting the balloon, leaving you with a mask the shape of a balloon. Yes it looks that fake!!!!
Lots of CGI is used for moving mushrooms, blood splatter's and gunshots. None of it that good, but there was an element of cheesy fun because of the CGI.
Overall I would say that the film does not take itself too seriously and there is some degree of entertainment value. Supposed to be a horror comedy, but I did not find this funny in any way. For me it was let down by the poor sound quality, which meant there was many times I could not hear the lines the actors were speaking.
