    Brains can conquer a lack of budget after all.

    What a great movie. It had all the elements of a Horror/thriller movie

    The characters journey was perfect in every way. The mood and feel changes were riveting. The action and suspense was surprising and awe inspiring at the same time. The scene where the bounty hunters first encountered the military men was simply well crafted, how the military men shot one of the bounty hunters leg that led to a slight rivalry that went through the movie, although one might say the slow motions in the movie were a tad too much but it as well brings out a certain beauty in some scenes, one in particular was when big foot was shot by two hunters, the slow motion there truly captured the essence there

    And the conclusion! The underlying themes were brought together in the most masterful way I've seen in a while in horror movies.

    i would highly recommend this movie to anyone who hasn't seen it yet...

    Waste of Time

    Literally felt like I was watching someone's very poorly done Youtube spoof of a bigfoot movie.

    This movie should be viewed by any aspiring filmmaker

    There is a lot of awful movies, but they usually do fall just in one category of badness. For example the script is bad, actors cannot act, the production values are low, the plot is derivative etc.

    Fear the Forest is an unique exception as it combines all the different sorts of badness into single package so you can study them and do not waste your time with different bad movies.

    For start there is incredibly messy script with ton of mostly useless side characters. The actors cannot act which would not be that bad unless they are supposed to sound overly dramatic or professional. Then - there is just horrible camera probably held at hand on all times even in situations where the tripod would me most welcome. Crazy use of color filters and effects, every scene looks different. Then we have some really really bad sound recording. I rather do not mention the plot holes or pure inability to build suspension. There is no thrill at all except the thrill of watching really horrid film making.

    In summary this is a prime example of too ambitious project with not enough resources or experience to actually finish watchable movie. It is just a pure mess valuable only as a warning for beginners.

    The Horror Within A Psychological Thrill Ride

    Plunge into the depths of the human psyche with this psychological thriller that is as mind-bending as it is terrifying. The narrative unfolds like a twisted rollercoaster, taking unexpected turns that keep you on the edge of your seat. What sets this apart is its exploration of psychological horror, delving into the fragility of the human mind and the horrors that lurk within. The cinematography is a visual feast, mirroring the disorienting nature of the plot with inventive camera angles and surreal visuals. The film doesn't just rely on external scares but forces the audience to confront the demons within, creating an unsettling experience that lingers long after the credits roll. The performances, particularly in conveying the unraveling mental states of the characters, are commendable, adding an extra layer of depth to the psychological thrills.
