Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
I liked how the movie began, very good characters, especially the sisters. They kinda saved the movie with their acting performance, so that it's still worth a watch. There are some very great emotional scenes. With the story, i expected more, especially at the end. I was waiting for the great finish or the big ending but it sadly never came. The movie probably is not so realistic, but for me it's a movie and i don't need it to be realistic, for that i can watch a documentary about survival if need be. All in all not a bad movie but neither a great one.+ Great Acting + Soundtrack - Story
Although the movie seems to have a pro-life undertone, it was quite good. The movie portrays a close-enough-to-realist take on the post apocalyptic genre, without an actual apocalypse. The movie relates emotions and the actresses did a great job.
I've seen my fair share of dumb apocalypse scenario films, ranging from the far-fetched to the completely implausible, but 'Into the Forest' takes the biscuit. This film is just ludicrous, dreadfully written and featuring characters without a brain cell between them. Anybody with an ounce of common sense would never do what the characters in this film do to survive, in fact they would often do the complete opposite.Why would anybody choose to sleep outside in the rain and freezing cold when they could just sleep inside? Why would anybody in their situation burn their only shelter, and their own home to the ground, and then live inside a tree? And why would anybody desperate to survive waste their valuable time and energy doing bizarre and pointless exercise routines? 'Into the Forest' is one of the dumbest survival films I've ever seen.
This film should have been titled 'Hanging About in a House for Months With No Electricity'. Only in the final couple of minutes does the story start to do what the title promises, when the girls actually go Into the Forest. Following them in there, tracking their story of survival, might have been interesting. As it is, very little happens in the big modern house in the wood. One of the girls dances a lot, but misses her music. The other thinks about going off with her character-free boyfriend, but changes her mind. There is one nasty, very violent rape, dislocated from the rest of the story. The reason for the apocalyptic power cut is never convincingly explained and while the months tick by (we know this via helpful captions) the women are unchanged - even their hair stays the same, with one of them sporting the same razor-sharp cut after eight months that she had at the beginning. The season does not change either - three months, six months, whatever, it is still May. As for the ending, why would they set fire to the place? What possible reason was there to do that? (I wondered if it was an attempt to imitate the ending in Housekeeping, a brilliant and totally different film). Only two good things in this: the beautiful forest, what little we saw of it; and Evan Rachel Wood's beautiful face.
