TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch Jan 1 825 Forest Road is an okay horror film built around an idea that never fully comes together. The chapter-based structure, meant to show different perspectives, ultimately hurts the flow. Labeling each chapter and revisiting the same scenes makes the movie feel stuck. While shifting viewpoints can work, this film rarely offers new information. Many scenes feel replayed with little variation, coming across less as a creative choice and more like a shortcut. The screenplay feels rough and underdeveloped. The direction isn’t bad, but the editing weakens the experience. The constant back-and-forth disrupts tension and prevents momentum from building. Horror relies on escalation, and this film resets itself. The mystery surrounding the house and road is thin and underexplored, leaving the story hollow. In 2025, audiences expect more ambition. While I wanted to enjoy it, 825 Forest Road feels like a missed opportunity and is hard to recommend overall to most genre fans today sadly now yep.

See more NotPCPattayaComedy @Movierealist Dec 23 What a waste of time. Terrible acting. Boring as hell. Literally nothing good about it. See more Steve Nov 7 It's nice to see us get away from Hell House, which I think the last two installments were weaker than the first 3. I also don't mind rehashing plots from different perspectives, though the film is only halfway successful with it. I I think it's a setup issue where not enough of the perspective switch actually changes how you view what happened in the scenes. If it's not done extremely well, it can feel like I'm watching what could have been a 45-minute movie. Like others, I wasn't quite satisfied with the ending and wish the house played a more prominent role in the 3rd act. If you like haunted house stories and are a fan of Hell House, it's 100% worth a watch. P.S. We still found a way to work a mannequin into the plot.

If you're into psychological horror and/or haunted houses, you'll like this movie. Ignore the low ratings. See more Darren D @DarrenJD Oct 10 "825 Forest Road" is a slow watch as the story being told in chapters doesn't feel natural. There's no urgency to solve the mystery of the horrors that the residents treat as the town's dirty little secret. It’s like listening to a child tell a campfire story. See more Read all reviews
