Fear the Forest

No coherent storyline, abysmal acting, appalling script, pathetic monster suit and on and on and on... Worth watching to remind yourself how bad movies can actually be... There are so many things to criticise about this shambles of a movie... I'll pick just one. 'Continuity'... there's a scene where the 'leading actress' is being chased through the woods. In one shot she has a pony tail, in the next she doesn't, followed by another where she has a pony tail, followed by another where she doesn't and this happens a number of time during the same chase sequence. That about sums up the quality of this 'movie'. I highly recommend watching this movie for the lameness factor...

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.

Literally every aspect of this movie was terrible. The story, acting, cinematography, special effects, there was not a single saving grace. I'm convinced the people leaving positive reviews watched a different film than I did. I would not recommend this movie to anyone.

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.

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