The Plot: Sara (Natalie Dormer) goes to Japan, searching for
her twin sister who disappeared into the Suicide Forest.
The cast: This movie needed an actress
with whom we could create an emotional connection, but the character of a rich,
a little bit arrogant, woman who doesn’t pay attention to anyone isn’t very
appealing and Natalie Dormer as Sara plays it with a continuous suspicious
look. She fails in making us care for her and the same happens when she plays
her twin sister. Taylor Kinney plays the handsome and mysterious hero, but his
character never develops behind the draft.
The Movie: The trailer promised a
chilling horror movie and the idea of the Suicide Forest is an interesting one
for the genre. Unfortunately, director Jason Zada fails in creating a menace
atmosphere and the action drags for more or less 90 boring minutes. Fans of
gore will be disappointed and fans of the supernatural will feel cheated. With
no suspense and nothing really strong happening (the best scene happens in a
hotel and involves a blind old woman), the movie wastes a great idea and I hope
someone will go back to this forest and use it for a real horror movie, one
that scares us. Anyway, I liked the forest set; I just wish the director had made
it more of a character, a spooky character.
My Rate: 3 (from 1 to 10)
