Into the Forest

I think the appropriate punishment of the persons involved in soliciting false 10 star reviews should be made to watch this film and, only this film until they confess or go mad. Awful and as frightening as a fuzzy puppy. Pathetic acting. The "twist" ending was anything but. Laughable. Hope anyone involved with this doesn't quit their day job

To start off I loved the found footage style, the characters were somewhat likeable, I however couldn't get past how Amy forgets her pills and the guy says "im not going back 3-4 hours to the cabin to get pills". But then when she has a reaction around 3am, the guy says "I'll be right back I'm going to grab the pills" then gets to the cabin, it's still pitch black outside, then he runs all the way back to the tents. Remind you he just traveled roughly 8 hours and he left around 3 am. It's still pitch black outside. They make it seem like he only ran 20 minutes back to the cabin. That was a huge flaw.

We enjoyed watching this. We were a little worried about the bad user reviews, but we were pleasantly surprised! It even had a few scares! Very watchable characters weren't too bad either. Pretty good!

Sweet jesus don't waste your time on this garbage, the scariest thing about this one hour movie is the guy wearing black socks pulled half way up to his knees with shorts on. Lol 🤣

'Into the forest' 3/10 = Abandon 🌠🌠🌠

The first priority and main objective for shooting a found footage horror flick in one word would be realism. The actors should appear genuine or as natural as possible but "Into the forest" through out the entire film achieves the exact opposite. Whether it was a character screaming into oblivion shouting with fear that's inauthentic or watching someone have a fake seizure that wouldn't convince a 10yo. Nothing will ruin a found footage film quicker than losing the belief or feeling that it's real. In a genre that's heavily saturated for and by millennials too many filmmakers think if they use amateur or unknown actors and film using handheld or shaky camera effects it will give the movie a boost of realism. Usually it does but that's not the case if every scene comes across appearing forced or scripted. I wouldn't recommend this film for viewers and suggest steering clear of it entirely.
