The horror genre for me has been pretty mediocre for the past several years, and so I have pretty much ignored a lot of horror movies that have come out, with the exception of a few. However, after a few friends great review, I knew it was something I had to see. And sure enough, Fear the Forest delivers in spades. It has everything a horror fan could want, from our favorite clichés to some fantastic surprises. Suffice to say, every horror fan should go see this.

I won't spoil the story, but to get into things a little, we focus on the age old tale of horror films: friends go to a forest to go camping and for some fun and then the **** hits the fan. And when it does, it does so gleefully. It would be easy to blow this off as a simple parody, but it's not. I won't say how, but this is essentially a horror movie within a horror movie, and it's mostly dead serious. There's plenty of humor throughout, mostly due to Kurtis character. And in fact, pretty much all the actors play their parts well. They are likable characters, even if they are cliché, but the clichés are part of the entire point. And in such areas, these characters are great. If you're worried about the horror aspect of the film, fear not, it delivers immensely. There are plenty of chilling scenes, though I wouldn't necessarily call them scary, and there is plenty of gore for the gorehounds, particularly at the end.

To say much more would be to give away too much. I certainly had a few qualms about the film, but they were few and far between. And the less you know the better. I will only say that if you've been looking for good horror film, this is it. Mathew Bora delivered in every way and the film will be remembered for some time in the same way Scream was remembered for shaking up the genre. This is similar, but different in oh so many ways. Though i regret not seeing the movie far back the n in 2009. you should go see this movie. It's the kind of film that comes out once in a blue moon.

The proof of the pudding, they say, is in the eating. The proof of the movie is in the watching. The actors all hit their marks by saying too little in this movie, its one of a kind, i value the idea and conceptual approach used in this movie.. you could say it is breath taking

I just finished screening this movie for the first time after putting it off for a year because of what seemed like equivocating appraisals from some of my friends. In hindsight, however, it seems to me that while the movie must have definitely bowled them over, overall they weren't sure exactly what to make of it or how to articulate what were probably a confused mix of feelings. But I am so impressed that I feel compelled to add a few specific observations to the many fine reviews already on this database. The movie was simply astonishing as it shows the sacrifice and strength persons endured and each part well portrayed by the cast lineup sending the message of the movie and history so clearly. I truly must commend the movie was well in order
