Forest of Death

There's indie films, and then there's whatever this is. I've googled DBS Films and I'm aware of how they operate. You'd think the whole "casting your fans" for EVERY ROLE is a bit of a misstep, but they keep doing it and it has not worked and it will probably never work. The writing is 3rd grade level and the acting is somehow worse than Tommy Wiseau's "The Room" but it isn't even bad in a funny way, it's just bad. The most remarkable part of this movie is that Amazon allowed them to price it at $5, which is $5 too much. Do yourself a favor and listen to me: Save your time, save your money, the correct rating for this movie is 1/10, not the absurd high rating it currently has.

I can only hope my $5 rental was the only copy available and no other human will have to ever see this (this would be a better plot than this movie, even as a sequel to The Ring). Clearly I was the only one who actually watched it because there's a bunch of reviews insinuating it's watchable and not a complete hot pile of garbage. The actors all say the lines like they're reading them for the first time and have no idea what is going on. The one exception is the southern hillbilly redneck moonshiner (they couldn't decide on a stereotype), he was actually good. When the budget is so low you have to make a fake deck of cards out of printer paper, just don't make the movie.

Forest of Death has to be one of the better films DBS has produced. Something about the cinematography was my favorite part of the movie. The setting of the film looked beautiful. The acting was decent; some lines were clunky so the delivery could have been better. But that didn't take away from the story. You may have seen the story before but you should still watch it. It's always fun to see new takes on stories you know. And this film wasn't a bad take at all. There were some moments when the editing seemed a bit weird, but they happened so fast I don't believe most people will catch it. The movie is just barely longer than an hour, and what else are you going to be doing with your time? If you don't mind B movies supporting new actors, writers, and hell film studios, please check this out-a good watch.

I usually don't write reviews but after reading all the other ones, I watched the movie and was thinking, this can't be the same movie! The reviewers must have got paid or something because this has to be one of the worst movies. Okay, that was a little harsh, so let me rephrase that. The movie could have been great if there was more action and better acting.

What's all this time wasted listening to that awful music while they're playing cards? One time would have been enough. I still can't get it out my head that all these reviewers are giving this movie a good rating. Bad acting, boring plot!

Ashley is the lone decent spot in this film. I'm frustrated that I rented this movie based off all the 8, 9, & 10 ratings on IMDb. The biased reviews shouldn't be allowed on this platform.

The way it was directed and put together really was disappointing. The plot and storyline had potential. The acting was rough to watch and cringy.

Basically if you do watch this film expect a budget amateur film and appreciate their enthusiasm in making the film. There is alot of room for improvement and I hope the improve the audio & editing in future movies. In the script writing please try to explain they why questions. Why does this thing want to kill?! Just because?
