Dark Forest (2015)
1/10
Terrifying for all the wrong reasons
8 November 2023
TL,DR: Don't waste your time on this piece of bovine manure.

Actors that cannot act, a director that cannot direct, a story that does not compute. I can go on for ages, but very little about this film is, eh, cinematic apart from it being widescreen. It was obvious after the first two minutes that this was a certified turkey. I kept watching, hoping for it to somehow decend into Plan 9 from Outer Space bad, where it at least gets weirdly interesting, but no such luck. It's just a very badly executed slasher.

There are a few things here that doesn't totally do what vacuum cleaners are supposed to do. The villain, when he gets up to speed, manages to put on and keep on a scary grimace. The sound design, while primitive, is effective. There are a (very) few decent jump scares.

The most terrifying thing about this film is it's high rating on Plex.
