Audience Member Forest of Death carries an original premise but the movie has no story to tell. A boring supernatural movie. Stick with "The Eye". Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member I don't know why I bother watching a Pang Brothers movie anymore. I'm just kidding myself that they will ever make anything as remotely interesting as their original 1999 version of Bangkok Dangerous. At this point I'd be happy if they could make something as remotely interesting as the original 2002 version of The Eye or even the hilarious 2004 movie The Eye 2. Did Shu Qi have her lips done to look more like Angelina Jolie's? She needs to switch them back because who would want to kiss pounded liver? Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Not scary, and it's stupid. That basically sums it up. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member The weak script just couldn't support its agenda. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member A tepid movie from by one of the Pang brothers and having in mind Aokigahara also known as Jyukai (sea of trees) placed in the base of Mount Fuji; the film is about a forest where the people goes to kill themselves. The main problem is the script, it very unrealistic, nothing wrong with that because is one of the foundations of the horror movies, but in this case i never felt that was justified. The first 50 minutes the plot is about a killing that is solve and then the supernatural arrives, the sub plot about the relationship problems is dull and not effective.But even that has some interesting point, like the way the phantoms are represented here, not like something threatening but spirits that are searching the peace and purge their sins.
