Dark Forest

I have to admit, all other things aside, Genevieve really made an impact for me here. No you will not see her without her clothes, if that is your first thought. Still she really is one of a kind - maybe it just me. Overall the acting (not just hers) is decent enough - especially if you considere the b-movie quality of it all.

Then there are some neat effects or outside the camera/frame. This may work or not - depending on how much slack you are willing to cut (no pun intended). Yes this is a slasher, yes people will die. I doubt you will care for most of them (Genevieve aside).

There is not much else to say here. The movie could have been better, but I've also seen way worse.

Even it's not my favourite genre, I liked this horror film. "Dark Forest" is a very mysterious creepy film.. you know.. girls.. camp... forest and killer! The perfect mix, with some great scenes! I spent a really good time, specially front of the beautiful Canadian forest... and I would recommend if you like this kind of film!

This was a good indie horror slasher film. The filmmakers clearly know their 80s horror, and if you enjoy the splatter genre this movie delivers in tension and kills. And that's why we're really here aren't we? Also I appreciate rural filmmakers outside of "Hollywood" and studio systems, so real independent filmmakers coming together and giving it their all earns a round of applause on its own.

felt like i was watching a horror film from long ago - in a good way. parked at the drive-inn, giving away my age, or telling gruesome stories during an all girl sleepover. never liked these kinds of movies, but if you do, you won't be disappointed. I couldn't stop watching, scared witless. music helped and good sound f/x. fight scenes were well choreographed, again sound f/x helped heighten the realism. a little too much blood and gore for me, but it was done well,great make-up artist. not sure what his problem was, but I come from the south, and we had lots of guys who looked a lot like him hanging around the school yard. definitely slept with the lights on.

DARK FOREST is a really fun and retro-stylish, 80's slasher, teen horror film that totally surprised me! It has good cinematography, tight editing and some really nice stylized performances in the vein of Friday the 13th and all the great 80's horror films I love. It also brings some pretty campy yet creepily effective gore which really balances everything out. Also, as another reviewer noted, WOMEN FIGHT BACK IN DARK FOREST which is a really cool twist and brings it right into contemporary times, giving it some social relevancy. All in all, it totally surprised me. It's a great watch and reminded me of all those summers watching 80's horror on VHS & BETA. Nice work!
