    Hidden gem

    I saw this originally at a festival in 2008 and had been searching for years, I'm so thrilled to have found it on amazon prime albeit under a different title. The Paper Dolls that I remembered was still just as good under the title Black Forest, a refreshing take on the theory of Sasquatch with some really well developed plot twists and red herrings. For a low budget film this should worry Hollywood, thouroghly enjoyed this and highly recommend.

    Total Waste of Time

    I did the big mistake and rented this movie after reading some reviews describing this movie as one of the best horror/thriller ever made well it was one of the best trash/waste of time movies that was ever made this movie suffer from a lot like the bad acting / cheesy dialogues i don't even know why it was listed as horror/thriller , if they mean the one shot where some guys dressing as gorillas standing in shadows well it won't scare even my little kitty ,and what about thrill ??? if they mean the plot ? we already saw tens of movies with similar plot nothing new here , no thrill at all . why this movie has high rating , why there is many good reviews about it? i don't know , but i know one thing that this movie was a complete waste of time , avoid it at all costs . Awful .

    The main guys face is annoying

    The main guy makes the weirdest, and annoying, expression with his face. And he does it ALL the time. You will see what I'm talking about if you are ever watching this. Which I wouldn't recommend doing because the movie is pretty bad.

    Only reason I gave it a 2 instead of a 1

    I'll start by saying the only reason I rated it a 2 instead of a 1 is because anytime I see a movie made without any kind of budget I will never rate it a 1 because they are trying regardless. I reserve my 1 ratings for movies that have a big budget and are backed by a studio. Something like the Blair witch project. I don't understand how people like that movie. It is so boring.. but onto this movie. How anyone would ever and I mean EVER give this movie a high rating or say how scared they were are either the dumbest people or people that can't go outside of their room without crapping themselves because their footstep was too loud. The only other reason would be because they are either involved with the film or know someone that was. Just trust me if you enjoy watching movies or even just staring at absolutely nothing, you'd be a million times better off staring at a blank screen for a couple days than trying to get through this movie. You could even hate staring at nothing and still be better off doing so. Ughhhhh I wish I never watched this pile of garbage and I hope that my review can save someone from doing the same.

    Is it a dream or is it real

    Mysterious horror movie produced in 2016. Two friends are on their way to Canada for a party. They stop at a gas station on the way. Classically there is a filthy gas station. It gives a short route to them. That too is a cliché. Of course, they fit that description, too. They are attacked on the way. One survives the attack. He tells them that Bigfoot attacked them. But everything gets a little more complicated when the police read the diary of this boy in the car.

    The movie is rated very low, but I don't think it's that bad. According to this score, it had to be closed before halfway, but I think it has a bit of interest and a slight stretch. It could have been much better if it wasn't for the last 5 minutes.

    There is sexuality and nudity in the movie at first.
