Highly Overrated But Still Good
Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
As many other people have said, the suicide forest is a scary concept that could lend itself to an intriguing horror movie. Unfortunately it's used as a background to a subpar jumpscare fest filled with average effects designed to scare you. The main character is supposed to be a skeptic who is determined to save her sister but instead appears to be rude and clingy. She starts the movie by being rude to her boyfriend for wanting her to wait a little while and let the police handle her sister's disappearance. She then goes to Japan where the locals tell her that they believe that evil spirits roam the forest. Instead of being polite and respecting the local culture while remaining skeptical she goes to a bar and complains about how everyone in town is crazy. She meets a man who can hook her up with an off duty officer to help her through the forest. She jumps on the idea. Upon meeting the officer he says that he will reluctantly take her. When she asks why he is reluctant he tells her it's because she seems troubled and might end up hurting herself. She then implies that anyone with a family member they love would happily run into the forest despite its reputation. When they go off path to look for people contemplating suicide they spot her sister's tent. The officer says that it's getting late and that he wants them to head home so they don't get lost. The woman then throws a tantrum about not wanting to leave and check on her sister tomorrow. The officer lets her stay the night as long as she promises to stay where she is. She quickly gets lured out of her tent and starts running around before the man at the bar stops her and tries to bring her back to camp. After that it's just jump scares. She ends up killing the bar dude and herself by just being an easily manipulated idiot (she takes a knife to her arm thinking that it's a good way to gets someone's hand of of her arm instead of just stabbing the guy's arm). Her sister just turned out to be lost in the forest and gets out ok. It ends with her jumpscaring the officer who told her that she was being stupid. The jump scares rarely manage to scare anyone since they come up at predictable times and are usually just your everyday computer generated corpse. The characters are dull as well as the plot. Instead of making a cool movie about the ghosts making you want to die of your own free will due to the terrifying spirits convincing the protagonist that the world is cruel (what the movie tried to make you think it was) the movie is an average lost in the woods with jumpscares film.
I'm a bit drunk so that movie wasn't that bad despite the lack of good acting, bad story and cheap special effects and so on. It could have been better but it wasnt, you can watch something better! Beeing wasted makes it better, so I think it's bad, I'm just generous with the stars.
That was one of the worst horror movie that I've seen in my whole life. Someone was missing,someone was trying to search and switched bodies... Serously...It was impossible to follow the plot because there wasn't any plot... Totally disaster... Don't waste your time and never-ever watch this "movie" if we can call it a movie...
This movie has a little bad end . All the movie was about a girl, Jess, who seen death of her parents and she goes in a cursed forest on a trip in Japan and she lost there. Her sister,Sara, who hasn't seen death of her parents, comes in this cursed forest to save Jess . At end Jess is saved indirectly by Sara and Sara dead in that cursed forest . This movie has some jump-scares and without these, this movie wasn't scary.
