Review of The Forest (2016) by Tony P — 28 Feb 2016
Not at all disturbing which in itself is disturbing for a film marketed as a horror!
The 15 UK certificate should have given the game away there straight away.
The plot very loosely follows twin sisters one who has mysteriously gone missing in some 'suicide' forest at the base of Mount Fuji in Japan. The other twin won't believe that she just nay be dead and carries on the search personally venturing into the 'disturbing not' forest.
The film has so many horror stereotypes that have been repeated again and again.
A remote cabin in the forest is laughable, not the slightest bit scary and so predictable in its contents. Think a censored Evil Dead.
Hands reaching out from the ground reminded me of a death scene of a young Johnny Depp in A Nightmare On Elm Street.
Natalie Dormer has a dual role as the twin sisters. Aside from her the cast is unknown.
Thankfully the film doesn't drag on to long before complete boredom sets in.
Come on Bond 26.
