The eminently watchable Natalie Dormer is front and centre in the new psychological horror from first-time director Jason Zada, but you can't help but think that the actress deserved better.

The Forest plunders the J-horror vocabulary to muster what jumps it can, and is pretty nice to look at. But only the really good horror films know how to end on a high note, and this isn't one of them.

Pretty bad, even for a January release.

"The Forest" delivers as a healthy dose of psychological cinematic terror and an impressive first feature directing effort.

Alas, there's no real sense of tension as the story (credited to three writers) lurches toward a by-the-numbers ending.

The silly, hand-me-down scares just don't chill.

There's absolutely nothing to it.

Any compelling sense of unease is ultimately undone as the film gradually settles for tedious schlock.

Disturbingly manipulative and yet totally conventional, The Forest is more memorable for being opportunistic than for being truly frightening.

With no compelling characters, scares, or plot points to redeem The Forest, the best option for those curious about Aokigahara is probably to watch a 20-minute 2005 VICE documentary about it.

The Forest boasts a promising premise but squanders most of its goodwill as a result of narrative shortcuts and contrivances, horror film clichés, and haphazard editing.
