Dark Forest

Most slasher aficionados should appreciate this retro-feeling low budget effort which contains all the tropes you'd expect from an 80's slice-and-dice film from hot chicks, deadly hammers, a cool car, teens in the woods, a wild-looking killer, the nerd, the a-hole, the neutral guy and a cool synth musical score. The actor who plays the killer plays it up well and seeps sinister ooze in every shot he's in. Looks the part perfectly. The cast is largely amateurs who do well with what they have to work with as does the crew. But what really grabs me is the music which conveys all the dreaminess necessary in the dreamy-like sequences and all the dread in the dreadful scenes and all the suspense in the suspenseful scenes. Go in expecting a low budget effort and it should meet expectations!

Very cheesy movie. Basic slasher in the woods. The movie has nothing new to offer. Seemed like they were trying to go with some comedy but every joke fell flat and seemed like a seven or eight year old wrote the jokes. In my opinion, I would say don't waste your time. There is much better movies out there.

You know the drill - take a bunch of horny teens to the woods and chop them up. Been there, done that, EXCEPT this one's really good fun while they are doing it. Plus, there's a soundtrack that's reminiscent of John Carpenter meets Depeche Mode - pretty close to film heaven. Looks great and there are some seriously gorgeous women to fantasise about too. Definitely worth a watch!

Even it's not my favourite genre, I liked this horror film. "Dark Forest" is a very mysterious creepy film.. you know.. girls.. camp... forest and killer! The perfect mix, with some great scenes! I spent a really good time, specially front of the beautiful Canadian forest... and I would recommend if you like this kind of film!

felt like i was watching a horror film from long ago - in a good way. parked at the drive-inn, giving away my age, or telling gruesome stories during an all girl sleepover. never liked these kinds of movies, but if you do, you won't be disappointed. I couldn't stop watching, scared witless. music helped and good sound f/x. fight scenes were well choreographed, again sound f/x helped heighten the realism. a little too much blood and gore for me, but it was done well,great make-up artist. not sure what his problem was, but I come from the south, and we had lots of guys who looked a lot like him hanging around the school yard. definitely slept with the lights on.
