A cool concept on yet another scare-less horror flick that holds back when it should be moving forward.

What makes The Forest especially generic outside of the locale is that it follows all of the usual tropes. Read more

The mostly lame script deserves props for not taking a cheap jump scare approach to the material.

Using a location synonymous with real life suffering for a horror movie is the height of bad taste. Hollywood seems to think tragedy is fine once it doesn't effect Americans.

A film that takes an ambitious subject, Japan’s Suicide Forest, and utterly fails with it by universally subscribing to modern horror movie hijinks.

Heeft een aantal goede schrikmomenten in de film zitten, en het verteld een goed verhaal als psychologische horror.

De film is best geinig en heeft een aantal jump scares waarbij ik naderhand even mijn hart moest checken. Verwacht alleen niet teveel van de film. Read more

Er is niet veel mis met de film, maar als kijker krijg je nooit een beklemmend gevoel.

Leuk voor Natalie Dormer fans, maar verder een saaie zit. Read more

Een film met potentie, maar de uitwerking is teleurstellend en vooral zeer voorspelbaar... Read more
