The Forest

A woman, after finding out about one of her relations getting lost in the the Suicide Forrest of Japan, she goes searching. Bad idea.

Pros:

·         I loved the atmosphere of this film. It was one of the best things about it. Actually, it was probably the best thing about it. It felt like you were lost.

·         Natalie Dormer was fine in her role.

·         It’s a nice-looking film. The cinematography is what makes it atmospheric along with the use of sounds of the forest.

 

Cons:

·         The other actors were all dull and clichéd.

·         The story has been done before and with better scares.

·         Also, the scares were very few. Basically, the trailer had the best bits in the film. Which is a shame as this forest could house many scarier scenarios.

·         They relied solely on jump scares throughout.

·         It was too predictable. Worse, it wasn’t entertaining. Sure, it might have been a nice-looking film, but it was a bit too dull in my opinion.

·         It isn’t a scary film. Even if you don’t know what’s going to happen, I don’t think you’ll be scared in this film.

·         It got a bit repetitive. All it seemed that was happening was the characters walking in a forest, and it went on for a long time.

·         It looked like it was a bit rushed to get publicity for Natalie Dormer fans.
