Horror films remind us that taking drugs is bad, very bad. Markus Welter's One Way Trip 3D cements this party line by showing all sorts of pandemonium. In the trailer below, a few nature lovers partake in the ancient ritual of magic mushroom eating and soon, they are either falling off of buildings, being burned alive, or the tried-and-true - being impaled by a sharp spike. At the midpoint of the clip, all of the characters look distressed in some way and Welter would remind horror fans to never, ever use drugs (not even coffee)!
