The Forest Through the Trees

Scott Doss as Julian, let's start there. HOLY CRAP!!! TERRIFYING. Tremendous performance. Annie Sullivan as Chloe, Alivea Disney as Ava and James Stokes as Ken knock it out of the park. The writing and directing by Jason Pitts gets better with every movie.

The story is simple yet not so simple. Lots of layers to this simple story. Kathy, Chloe's mom and Ken's wife disappears and is missing for a year when a clue leads Chloe, Ava and Ken to a terrifying cult lead by their charismatic leader Julian. Give it a watch on Amazon prime, Letterboxed or Screamify. It's definitely worth your time. And check out Jason's other films as well! Alone, Masquerade, When the Stairs creek, Vorhees Night of the Beast, Vorhees After the Beast, Take It Slow and the upcoming The Trial of Margaret Stone.

Solid horror film: the plot worked, the acting was good all around, but Bryan Guarino, Vu Ha, Scott Doss, and Marilyn Knapp were standouts. The effects were impressive for the budget. They mixed practical effects with CGI for the blood and gore scenes, which totally nailed that classic 80s horror feel. The director Jason Pitts clearly knows his horror history and brings some fresh ideas to familiar territory.

The production design was great, the sound mixing was perfect, and the soundtrack adds to the vibe without being distracting. The pacing is tight, and it doesn't waste time getting to the good stuff. If you're into horror that doesn't take itself too seriously but still delivers, check it out. It's the kind of film that reminds you why you fell in love with the genre in the first place.

This film really surprised me! Movies have gotten to be so predictable but this story line kept me guessing until the very end! I was hooked right from the beginning. Sierra and Julia started the film out on the right foot. Annie Sullivan put on one heck of a performance, and Aliviea was a strong supporting actress. Overall, the acting was great! The cinematography was beautiful! It gave me an 80's horror vibe. I love that this film did so much with very minimal resources. It just goes to show that just because a film is low budget, doesn't mean it can't be incredible! Jason and his team hit it out of the park with this one!

Forest Through the Trees isn't just a movie-it's a hauntingly beautiful meditation on grief, healing, and the fragile threads that connect us all. From the opening frame to the closing silence, this film grips your heart and refuses to let go.

The cinematography is breathtaking. Every shot is soaked in emotion, with nature itself becoming a silent narrator. The forest isn't just a backdrop-it's a mirror of the characters' inner chaos and calm. You feel the weight of the air, the stillness between words, the unsaid things screaming through the trees.

The lead performance is nothing short of devastatingly brilliant. There's a quiet pain behind every glance, a strength hidden beneath vulnerability. It's the kind of performance that doesn't just impress-it stays with you.

The pacing is deliberate and intimate, allowing emotions to bloom naturally. It doesn't rush to conclusions or spoon-feed the viewer. Instead, it trusts us to feel-and feel deeply. The score whispers rather than shouts, accentuating moments with aching precision.

Forest Through the Trees isn't made for the faint of heart. It's for those who crave depth, who appreciate silence as a character, and who believe that sometimes the most powerful stories are told between the lines.

This film doesn't just tell a story. It awakens something.

The Forest Through The Trees was dark, creepy, and frightening! The battle between good and evil was taken to a higher level! It really drew me in and what plot twists. I did not want to move from my chair. I was on the edge of my seat, and had goose bumps muchbof the time. It had a great storyline, directing, and awesome acting by Annie Sullivan, James Stokes, Ben Matias, Alivea Disney, Brad Adams, Marilyn Knapp, Anna Hardwick, and last but not least Scott Doss! Scott you creeped me out. I really enjoyed this movie, and highly recommend it! Go watch it on Fandango Home, Prime Video, and more!
