When I pick this title, I expect a good K-Horror that can make me grab my pillow, cover my face with it as the ghosts/grisly murderers/whatever come out, or at least a "nice" thriller to kill of the insomnia. Instead, I was pointing my fingers all throughout the movie to my TV, cursing the bad storyline and the annoying characters (which were either too stupid, too naive, too annoying, and too cranky). At some points it was so bad, I have to fast-forward the DVD just to get by. Yep, that's how bad it got.

A bit of advice, if you're in the mood for some horror chills, for the love of Rosemary's Baby, don't watch this movie. Unless, you were feeling a little down and thinking that you were the stupidest person in the planet, then please watch this movie. It will give you relief, as you will find out that there are people stupider than you.

Five very boring characters take off for a weekend in the forest. Once there, strange things start to happen: one of the girls is having visions where she sees her friends die in the most horrible ways. Soon her visions are becoming true. Really, really bad horror film with many long, melodramatic scenes. There's a lot of blood, many bad actors and little logic. The only thing this turkey is reminiscent of is the unbelievably bad Thai movie "Diecovery". The only really good film in this four-part horror "series" (the others being "Roommates", "February 29" and "Forbidden Floor") is "February 29", imho. "Dark Forest", on the other hand, is purely bottom-of-the-barrel stuff.

Usually, K-Horror will provide a lot of tension or many shocks in the movie but this movie has neither.

The theme of the story is old but it is a horror movie so you can work on it. Apparently, the writer were writing the story lying in bed or the director was constant drunk before the set. They try to be Blair witch project but they are far from it.

There were no tension, the actors were inexperienced and some of these kind of movie at least provide some eye candies. Well, the eye candy were dead after 15 minutes (3 minutes that they were actually filming her).

The killing does not make any sense. Every death should not happen in that way. In my opinion, after they know how to deal with the threat, everyone of them should be alive... There were minimal of actions but they prolong it too much. I actually beg them to kill each quicker because they kept talking to themselves during the action scene.

I never regret about watching the movie, it was a time killer anyway. I ended up playing Diablo 3 during the movie, I fill my own actions for the movie. I would not recommend it to anyone else unless you have two TV and watch two different movies at the same time. (Yeah, I am crazy like that).
