Customer Reviews: Total numer of reviews: 13 Average rating: 4.5 "DONT LET THE TITLE FOOL YOU!!!!! GREAT MOVIE!!!!!" This is really a very scary movie about horrible mutations. Some Japanese tourists are stranded on a foggy south seas island and find an abandoned science ship. Starving for food some of them eat a mysterious mushroom called MATANGO. Soon they are infected by a fungus that takes over the human body and causes homocidal insanity. The mutated make-ups are pretty scary (they resemble the 1986 version of THE FLY with Jeff Goldblum) The american TV distributers decided that camp was a good selling point and came up with the crazy "MUSHROOM PEOPLE" title. The original title is simply "MATANGO" and it is not campy at all. The ending is a real shocker. "A Cult Classic- From Japan!" This is one strange movie from the 60's originally released as "Matango" and later dubbed into english as "Attack Of The Mushroom People" A group of Japanese citzens are suddenly stranded- when bad weather blows their boat onto a bizarre little island- where there is barely any food to survive on, except for the wild mushrooms which grow everywhere. Once you start eating mushrooms, you can't stop. And soon- they become a part of you! Although it has a rather slow pace, this trippy little fantasy film will appeal to all fans of the bizarre! One of my all time favorite cult-films offered both in English & Japanese! "A Cult Classic- From Japan!"
