The Rating System

All opinions are my own. We are all different. What I may think is great, you may this terrible. Don't let my opinios stop you from exploring the vast world of horror in all media.

~Mind Blowing: Search for this movie immediately. It can only be described as pure greatness and possible an instant classic.

~So Good: Highly recommended because for one reason or another it stands out above the usual fair. Put the movie on your radar as it wont disappoint.

~In the Middle: The movie is a nothing special, average affair. It may entertain in the short term but it will be easily forgettable in the long haul.

~Warning: This movie is a cliched driven slop of familiar territory. Only watch if you're really of fan of this type of material.

~Steaming Pile: The movie is absolute garbage, a complete bore, and not worth the time or effort.

The Forest (2016)

Starring: Natalie Dormer, Eoin Macken
Director: Jason Zada

Premise:
When her twin sister goes missing in the infamous Suicide Forest in Japan a woman goes on a mission to find her. Only once in the forest she discovers the rumors of the supernatural and haunting are true.

My Take:
This movie had a lot of potential with the setting alone and by using twins. However it fails and falls into normal trappings leading not much substance for the viewer.

Rating: Warning

Watched: HBO
