Sinopsis(1)
Un thriller sobrenatural que se desarrolla en el legendario bosque de Aokigahara a los pies del Monte Fuji en Japón. Una joven americana, Sara (Natalie Dormer), acude en busca de su hermana gemela, desparecida misteriosamente. A pesar de todas las advertencias de "mantenerse en el sendero", Sara se interna en el bosque decidida a descubrir la verdad sobre el destino que ha corrido su hermana, pero al hacerlo se enfrentará a las almas atormentadas de aquellos que han muerto en este lugar y que asedian a todo aquel que deambule en el bosque.

Tal vez ni el propio guionista sabía qué era solo la imaginación de la mente de la heroína y qué era la realidad. O, al menos, cuál de las escenas tiene un impacto en la realidad y, si es así, qué tipo de impacto. Al igual que probablemente no sabía exactamente lo que pasó al final. La película quiere embrujar con fantasmas en la línea de la versión americana de El grito, incluso el tema de los fantasmas furiosos de la gente que se mata en el bosque está tomado del original japonés La maldición (The Grudge). Pero le falta claridad y equilibrio entre la realidad, los demonios de la infancia y las espeluznantes ilusiones en el bosque y, sorprendentemente, la sofisticación visual de la cámara y el montaje a la que nos ha acostumbrado el cine de terror de calidad. Una película por debajo de la media que desaprovecha el alto potencial del tema (ese bosque de suicidas en Japón realmente existe).

The Forest is a film with great potential, a film that could create a place for legends, not only in real life but in the film world as well. And although the filmmakers tried very hard to make it have the right WTF effect at the end, unfortunately, the excitement doesn't really come, and it's pretty gross in places. There is not a single character - except perhaps the Japanese ones - that I like in any way. Very much a missed opportunity.

The Aokigahara Forest caused visions not only to the main character of this film, but also to me, the viewer. While the screen was showing an average, unambitious American horror film, what I saw was mainly the squandered potential and the fog-shrouded, excellent film that could be made on the basis of that place. But for that, Jason Zada would’ve had to try a little harder and build things on something more than several, and to a great extent cheap jump scares; to play with heavy paranoia, anxiety and insecurity. Or to al least find a somewhat scarier place, because the pine forest they’ve used is actually antiscary. Even that would be enough, see for example the recent The Hallow or The Witch. But, even though I’m rather critical, the horror year of 2016 could have begun a lot worse. This is just about nothing. Watched, standard, carry on.

The only mystery about this film is why it’s supposed to be a horror movie or a thriller. For me, the beginning was a boring and protracted preparation of a future victim for what might happen to them while running around the woods, followed by some similarly tedious running around the aforementioned woods, complete with predictable jump scares and an even more predictable ending. Now that I know what the Japanese wells and forests can hide, I can’t wait to see what’s next to come. Some sort of a mysterious cave or stream perhaps?
