The Forest Hills

Oh how i have missed miss Shelley Duvall, i love that she is returning to acting again, she has such a great talent, i love all here movies and she's still got it.

Also who remembers when Edward Fulong was John Conner in Terminator 2, when i heard he was doing this movie together with Shelley Duvall, i mean i was so excited and i was right.

This movie is a must watch, i will not give any spoilers, but this movie is a true gem, if you like outdoorsy movies, with a low key setting, truly highlighting the talents of all the actors, then this is a must watch. I hope Edward Furlong and Shelley Duvall make a lot more movies soon. Please watch!!!

I feel like a lot of the people will misunderstand this movie on the first viewing. The poster would lead you to believe that it's a supernatural werewolf film, when really it's a look into someone's rapid mental deterioration into madness. There are solid performances from the cast, especially Shelly Duval in what would be her last film role. But also a surprisingly nuanced performance from Edward Furlong. The narrative is possibly the biggest dealbreaker for people and it's uneven and confusing, but it's told from an unreliable narrator. Go in it with an open mind and solve the puzzle yourself.

This is not a good movie. The actors in this movie are not good. There are some famous names in this movie. They do not do a good job. Some people rated this movie 10 stars. These are not smart people. 10 stars means this movie is almost perfect, a classic like The Godfather, ET, Jaws, etc. This movie is nowhere close to any of those.

This feels like a totally amateur affair. This is not always a bad thing but, in this case, it is. The concept is fine and I actually like the idea, but the execution is a bit off. Even the performances of the seasoned actors are flat and uninspired. The special effects are decent enough but it's not enough to make this worth watching.

The Forest Hills is little more than another forgettable, incredibly amateurishly-made horror film that does nothing to separate itself apart from countless other microbudget horror movies you'll find on Plex or Roku.

Admittedly, the only reason you've heard of this one is because it features Edward Furlong, Dee Wallace, Felissa Rose and Shelley Duvall in the final role of her career (and her first role in twenty years). Duvall is honestly the highlight, portraying a sympathetic character with natural charisma during very brief time on screen. But as for the rest of the movie, it was such a scattershot vision with no clear direction.

This movie was lost on whether it wanted to be a genuine horror movie or some kind of Lovecraftian fan fiction and it failed to ever stay on any of the paths it tried to set itself upon. The result was scattered, unfocused, talkative, slow and worst of all boring. And even at a brief 79 minutes it felt all too long, so I couldn't even make it to the end.

Shelley Duvall (rest her soul) and Edward Furlong. Yes they're in it and they add very little. One of the worst movies I've seen in my life. They're a few scenes of dialog that make me laugh and I'm not sure it's intentional. Other than that there's not much to offer and I can't believe I watched this in theatres. The fact that there were 4 people in the theatre including me says something. It's not worth a watch and in my humble opinion it's a disgrace to Edward Furlong career and the memory of Duvall. It's not even campy good it's just a waste of space. I think they used Duvall and Furlong's names to increase the popularity of this movie. Trash.
