One Way Trip (2011)

Valerie goes on a trip with her brother and some friends. But what she doesn’t know is they’ve invited her ex and the purpose of the trip is to find mushrooms. 

When the van has a flat tire, Valerie goes walking in the woods and runs into a creepy man with a gun.  After some tense moments, the group discovers he is hunting and not aiming the gun at her.

They head to the nearest gas station driving on the flat. A couple on a motorcycle overhear their mushroom plans and ask if they can go with them.  They came to look for mushrooms too but their bike broke down and it will be a few days until it’s fixed.

Everyone crams into the van to go on their merry way. They find an area in the woods to camp and begin to search for mushrooms. Valerie, who is not happy to be there, is repeatedly bullied about what a drag she is until in an I’ll show you moment, she eats a mushroom.  

Everyone is tripping and happy, until Valeries brother Timo stumbles out of the woods and collapses. He’s covered in blood and has a broken nose.  Since he needs immediate medical care, the group packs up in a panic just as a storm starts.  One of their maps shows a house nearby so they go there to look for help. 

There is no one there so they go in and make themselves at home. Then they hear a noise upstairs and one the the group disappears while outside. Because it’s a bad idea to go into a strangers house and act like you’re a guest.  No one appreciates that, especially a maniac.

The movie was shot in Switzerland and is in 3D so at times things will come directly at the camera.
