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.

Superb psychological thriller: a young girl's entire family is wiped out by a murderer. Eight years later she befriends the killer's daughter and grows strangely attached to her. Basically a rather simple story about crime and punishment, but made with a nice touch and a great eye for detail. The camera work and editing is amazing, the acting flawless and the story extremely well-written (it will keep you guessing until the very end). The Japanese title means "Deep Red"; there are no other English titles for this one yet as far as I know. Highly recommended for everyone who wants to see a different kind of Japanese horror narrative.

I watch somewhere around 500-600 films every year. No matter how bad they are, or how boring they are, I never fast-forward or stop watching because of that. With "Organ", however, I came really, really close. This film arguably fits into the "so-bad-it's-painful" category, alongside titles such as "Troll 2", "Children of the Living Dead" and "They Saved Hitler's Brain". But whereas those movies at least have some schlock entertainment value, this piece of c**p just make you depressed and angry. Sometimes, "Organ" looks more like a parody of art-house films; the story is completely unintelligible, the setting (an abandoned industrial estate for most of the running time) just horrible and the actors and the dialogue are laughable. This definitely hits the top spot of my all-time worst list.
