The Forest


Rising with terrifying grandeur at the base of Mt. Fuji in Japan, the legendary real-life Aokigahara Forest is the suspense-filled setting of the supernatural thriller. A young American woman, Sara (Natalie Dormer), journeys there in search of her twin sister, who has mysteriously disappeared. In the company of expatriate Aiden (Taylor Kinney), Sara enters the forest having been well warned to “stay on the path.” Determined to discover the truth about her sister’s fate, Sara will have to face the angry and tormented souls of the dead that prey on anyone who dares come near them. These malevolent spirits lying in wait for Sara at every turn will plunge her into a frightening darkness from which she must fight to save herself.

This movie was poop.  Just straight up poop.  It started off super slow and never picked up when they got to the actual forest.  There were no good scares and the story (or lack of) was garbage.  I held out hope that there would be some sort of redemption in the end but it just got worse.  

I would not recommend anyone wasting 90 minutes of their life on this.  It really was garbage.
