SparkMore n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

Married Baby Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Thy Davideth The Forest is about some morons going to the woods to only be stalked by a cannibal and the ghosts of suicidal kids and their slutty mother are their only means of survival. Yes, yet another poorly acted, poorly scripted, poorly shot slasher movie. But, hey, at least they added spirits into the mix. Well, that actually made the movie more retarded. 7 people die, two of them in a flashback scenario and the blood level is descent. Only recommended to slasher completions.

kcott44 I've been collecting 80's slasher films recently and I got my hand on a copy of the Code Red DVD release of The Forest, a little known and not very liked 80's supernatural slasher film. The Forest is pretty interesting for your typical slasher fare, it revolves around a group of hikers, adults mind you are hunted by a cannibal hermit in the woods who is haunted by the spirits of his dead wife and kids. It gets a poor 3.5 on here which is the same of Don't Go in the Woods...Alone! and I will say The Forest is a better film. Now, let's get down to the usual criticisms here. The acting is atrocious, the best acting in the film is by Gary Kent who plays the cannibal hermit and he's really not that good either but he's given somewhat solid character development for his character and he is not annoying which is more than I can say for a lot of slashers. The directing is about average for slashers, nothing special but I do like the setting and I think it's captured decently here. The body count is low, but this film is not about the body count, more about the story instead. The score I actually didn't mind, there's song which is horrendously funny but the score itself, isn't that bad, in fact, I liked the score they used for the opening kills. My two favorite scenes are the opening with the two kills and the flashback sequence though poorly acted by everybody but Kent, gives us decent character development and while cheesy, actually makes us sympathize with the killer.The Forest is not a good film by any means and I paid quite a bit for the DVD but it's a solid DVD and I liked the film more than I thought I would. Recommended to slasher fans who want something a little different than just the killer in the woods formula.

cameron-kills-it "The Forest" is about two couples who are being stalked by a cannibalistic mountain man while camping. However, the cannibal's dead children return as ghosts and try to help the campers to safety! Okay, I'll admit it, I actually kind of like this movie. There, I said it. I know the acting isn't first rate and the soundtrack is laughable but there is just something about this movie that I like. The killer is actually just a regular guy who tries to explain to his victims that "he needs food for the winter!" before killing them. It's really not that bad, at least it's a whole lot better than (shudder) "Don't Go in the Woods"! Come on, people! Give this one a try! Rated: R for Violence and Gore Grade: C-

Tikkin I first saw this when I was 14. I remember I wanted to swap it with my mate but he wouldn't so I tried to borrow it very long term and hope he forgot about it! Haha. In the end he asked for it back (DAMN!)Anyway this film is a classic slasher, it's "so bad but it's good". I really think it's just great in the way it's so cheap but cool at the same time. Love the location (forest) but could of been a bit more detailed on the "gore score" but if you like cheap bargain bin horror flicks then you should watch it. It's a rare film and pretty hard to come by. All in all it has something about it that I really like. Oh, and the music is great! Reminds me of the first ever casio keyboards and gives it that old slasher feel.
