... View MoreThe acting in this movie is really good.
... View MoreThis movie really surprised me, was expecting a regular boring horror movie but i got a really good ghost type movie with a good enough story. I must add i love ghost horror movies.The reason i truly enjoyed the forest is because its based on actual Japanese lore, the suicide forest at mt Fuji. the moment they enter the forest and it turns dark, the suspense starts and it doesn't stop until the movie ends.If you are in to ghost horror movies with actual background your in for a thrill, and i highly recommend it. if you like slashers/bloody horror movies with a killer on the lose or whatever, don't watch it.
... View MoreI'm a bit drunk so that movie wasn't that bad despite the lack of good acting, bad story and cheap special effects and so on. It could have been better but it wasnt, you can watch something better! Beeing wasted makes it better, so I think it's bad, I'm just generous with the stars.
... View MoreThis is a film that takes place in Japan's Suicide forest that doesn't involve bad dubbing or subtitles. (Points for that.) Sara (Natalie Dormer) gets a feeling something is wrong and her twin sister needs help. Sara flies 6,000 miles to Japan and discovers Jess (Natalie Dormer with black hair) has gone missing in Japan's suicide forest. She manages to get two guys to help her look for her. The film is rather ho-hum up to about 45 minutes into the film when they (plot spoiler!) find her tent. It isn't until this point does the film become worth watching. Then the night time creepy stuff happens as the forest, "plays with people's mind."Make it a rental.
... View MoreTHE FOREST is another horror/thriller dealing with the sinister setting of the Aokigahara Forest in Japan. The said forest nestles at the foot of Mount Fuji and is notorious in Japan for being a place where suicides go to die. It has previously been the subject of two films, GRAVE HALLOWEEN and SEA OF TREES.Sadly, in the hands of an inexperienced director, THE FOREST is very much a middling horror film. It's too tame and predictable to really scare all but the most novice of viewers. The plot is slow paced and the cast limited to just a few faces, so there's little going on. Some of the atmosphere isn't bad and the filmmakers do a good job of making the location seem authentic, although of course it wasn't really shot in the actual forest. Best of all is the reliable Natalie Dormer, who invests her lead with depth and charisma that might have been lacking in another actress.
