GamerTab That was an excellent one.

Kodie Bird True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.

terrible2 First thing you notice while thumbing through the new "Horror" release section at the video store is the cover art, followed by the title... Of course the artwork for "Haunted Forest" looks great, but I have been fooled by this before (See: "The Wickeds"). Then there's the title of the film, because even if the art looks awesome, if the film is called "Really Scary Monsters" chances are you are gonna leave it alone. This was the case with "Haunted Forest", but with the pickin's lookin slim, I decided to take a chance on it... I wasn't let down!Director Mauro Borrelli's take on how to scare people in a forest seems to work on a lot of different levels, and the story is nothing less then a creepy adventure. The Japanese horror influence is definitely there, but it is used to great effect, and if you are a fan of this genre you will be pleasantly surprised. The story is quite original in context, even though the ole' haunted woods premise has been used a thousand times (usually in slasher films when no real haunting is taking place), but fear not, because this is a supernatural story and certain to send some chills up your spine... The acting is solid from all involved. Sevy Di Cione gives a convincing performance as our would-be hero and Jennifer Luree is wonderful (and quite nice to watch...). The special effects are top notch through out, which is quite uncommon with these types of low budget films and the cinematography is (for the most part) well done. "Haunted Forest" is an adventurous flick from a surprising source, and certainly worth owning or for a fun night's rental.

chrichtonsworld There are a lot of scares in "Haunted Forest"! But that is all there is! There are no murders or cruel crimes committed or anything! Characters are grabbed and for us to find out what happened to them! The plot is real simple! I think too simple! It never gets really exciting except at the end,but then it's too late! The real killer is the cast! (If the dog and a tree are the best actors around then you know what to expect!) The actors are real bad! I don't know if it was scripted,but these characters really do stupid things! For the most part they just barely react to events! They are walking around and seem to forget that they have to make us believe that things are happening! The visual effects are quite good! But I can imagine that some will have issues with the appearance of "the ghost"! Not that it isn't creepy! It sure is! But it was an exact copy of the ghost from "The Grudge" I love "The Grudge" film series! And I can't get enough of the long haired woman! But somehow it didn't feel right in this movie! Couldn't they at least make up a new ghost or monster! The climax (very cool sequence) and the ending make up for a lot of flaws! But overall this isn't a movie I would recommend!

shelletc I thought this movie was very well-done. I saw it screened at the Oxford International Film Festival and absolutely loved it. I saw several people jump throughout the movie and everyone seemed to enjoy it. Sevy DiCione (the male lead) came in-person to screen the film and was a really nice guy. The mythology behind the movie was pretty interesting. I also thought they did a good job building tension with how the victims get "marked" by the ghost. The scene in the car where the ghost attacks also was pretty well-made. The ghost looks pretty creepy. I wouldn't want to get very close to those nails! I can't wait for the DVD release and plan on getting it asap!

amywade This movie took me on a ride! It is breathtaking and beautiful as much as it is SHOCKING and HORRIFYING. The acting is FANTASTIC- all of the characters are likable and REAL, totally engaging to watch. Sevy Di Cione is AWESOME. He is a natural. Visually, the movie is hypnotizing- I felt like I was RIGHT THERE, in the forest, with them... the camera takes you into the picture... it is eerie and irresistible and totally frightening. Great SPECIAL EFFECTS, SOUND, and the MUSIC is ENCHANTING... Mauro Borelli knows how to captivate an audience! It was one of SCARIEST movies I have ever seen- felt like I ran a marathon when it was over! (also had to check my pulse a few times during the film, no kidding) LOVED it, thank you, AW
