Fear The Forest

About This Movie

Fear The Forest is one of those low-budget horror flicks that tries to tap into Native American folklore, which is interesting. The atmosphere is thick with tension, and the pacing edges on the slow side, but it kind of works in building dread. The performances feel a bit wooden at times, but that adds to the gritty, unsettling vibe. Practical effects are used sparingly but effectively; there’s something haunting about the unseen 'Silent Killer' lurking in the shadows. You get this sense of nature as a character, almost like a living thing that holds secrets. Not your typical slasher fare, it has a more psychological angle that’s quite distinctive.
