IMDb 4.8 Metacritic 34 RT 10%

Skip it. The Forest squanders a genuinely haunting premise—a real suicide forest—with lazy jump scares and a predictable twin-sister mystery that never justifies the weight of its setting. This is horror that mistakes atmosphere for substance, and it shows.

Plot

Set in the Aokigahara Forest, a real-life place in Japan where people go to end their lives. Against this backdrop, a young American woman comes in search of her twin sister, who has mysteriously disappeared.

Director: Jason Zada

Cast: Natalie Dormer, Eoin Macken, Stephanie Vogt, Osamu Tanpopo, Yasuo Tobishima
