Recommended if you like BLAIR WITCH PROJECT and CHERNOBYL DIARIES
Sarah's twin sister, Jess, has disappeared after entering Japan's Suicide Forest. Sarah goes to Japan to search for her, despite knowing no one in Japan and not speaking Japanese. The film is at its best in the early scenes, which demonstrate Sarah's isolation. She is clearly unfamiliar with Japanese culture and does not take the warnings about the Suicide Forest seriously. She is shocked and repelled by the sight of a dead body hanging from a tree, but does not believe that spirits of the dead linger in the forest and influence the living to kill themselves. When she finds her sister's tent, she is sure her sister is alive and insists on staying in the tent even though it will soon be dark. Aidan, a Caucasian man she has met in a bar, reluctantly agrees to stay with her, but their Japanese guide leaves, after warning them that they will see and hear things that are "not real." The problem with this premise is that if the characters can't tell what is real and what isn't, neither can the audience. The couple wander away from the tent, get lost, become suspicious of each other, and see some creepy-looking ghosts. Unfortunately it appears the scriptwriter ran out of ideas because the film ends abruptly with unanswered questions. Did Aidan have evil intentions? Did Sarah's parents die in a car accident or was it murder/suicide? Did Yuriko really kill herself in the forest and become a ghost or did Sarah imagine Yuriko's presence? The special features are very helpful in explaining the filmmaker's intentions, but it shouldn't be necessary to watch them. The film should have enough power on its own, but it doesn't quite achieve greatness. The first half, like THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT (but minus the crude language and shaky hand-held camera) ratchets up the tension and has the viewer shivering in anticipation of the horrors that will follow. But when the ghosts appear and the main characters turn on each other, and then the film ends, we're left wondering which, if any, of these things actually happened. Perhaps that's the point --- leaving it up in the air made everything more mysterious --- but I wasn't completely satisfied.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Just okay
I really like films about the supernatural, however the pacing in this movie was very slow, and the acting was substandard. I guess I just expected more from this film than it actually gave. It had a few good moments, but it really did not pick up until you got towards the end of the movie. I did not find this movie entertaining at all and it was just a real disappointment. 3 stars for this one.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Pretty good
I really enjoyed this movie. It was just creepy/scary enough without going over the top, and had a few twists and turns that kept me guessing until the end. I'd recommend adding this to your scary movie collection.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
