Promising premise but poor execution
A horror film based on a real life suicide forest in Japan sounds like it's made to succeed, but sadly The Forest doesn't deliver.

Natalie Dormer is alright as the lead and she does fairly well, the problem is she doesn't have much to work with. The film isn't particular scary and I feel they could have done so much more to raise the fear factor instead of throwing in some obligatory and obvious jump scares. The ending was quite good and actually fairly unexpected, but parts of it were a little silly.

Disappointing
What a dull and uneventful film this turned out to be. I had hopes when I saw the trailer and saw Natalie Dormer was the lead character. It felt like a poor relation to the Grudge. It's not scary at all and the story will make you think is that it? When the credits roll. They even cut scenes from the film that were in the trailer.
