A Forest Dark is an intriguing exploration of grief and despair, drawing heavily from Dante's themes. The film immerses you in Robert Daniels' psychological turmoil following a personal tragedy. The pacing... well, it’s contemplative, allowing the weight of his loss to sink in. It has this haunting atmosphere—dark, yet oddly reflective—like wandering through a dense fog. Practical effects are minimal but effective, underscoring the surreal nature of his journey. Performances are raw, particularly from the lead, who captures that blend of despair and searching for redemption. What stands out is how it portrays hell not as fire and brimstone, but as a profound emotional landscape. Quite an experience for those who appreciate deeper narratives.
