Putting the fun back in -gicide, it's Fungicide! From the director of Suburban Sasquatch, who also plays three different characters in this movie through the magic of cheap wigs.

And if you thought Suburban Sasquatch was odd, inexplicable, the most homemade movie ever, you ain't seen nothin' yet! Fungicide centers on a quaint little bed and breakfast run by a hippie named Jade. Jade's B&B brings together a cast of unforgettable characters: a pro wrestler who takes pills to prevent his "spontaneous combustion" disorder, a sleazy real estate developer, a military survivalist who may or may not be part of a reality show, and a young scientist who's supposed to be a college professor but lives in his parents' basement and spends most of the movie muttering to himself like Beavis.

That spooky little scientist spills science goop on some mushrooms, and next thing you know the peaceful forest B&B is besieged by giant walking sharp-toothed mushroom puppets. They're out for blood, because as we all know, mushrooms love to kill and eat blood.

Evil mushrooms, puppets straight out of a remedial art class, and Pennsylvania accents galore. It's a truly unique fungal film experience, don't miss Fungicide with Mike, Kevin, and Bill!

Written by: Mike Nelson, Bill Corbett, Conor Lastowka, and Sean Thomason

Well this is it. This is the absolute bottom of the barrel. Anything less does not qualify as a movie. Everyone making it looked like they were having a blast at least.

This felt like something some friends (and friends of friends) did as a joke over a weekend with cheap camera phones. A week later one of them learned editing and fx and slapped the whole thing together. They emailed it to everyone else and they all had a good laugh.
I have no idea how this went any further.
I almost retroactively like Suburban Sasquatch less now. (I don't really, but now I wonder how self aware they actually were).

Suburban Sasquatch at least felt like they were trying to make a real movie. They just didn't have the money or ability required to actually do so. This movie feels more like it's intentionally, or at the very least knowingly, bad. Which is never as funny as unintentionally bad.
