FORESTRY

About This Movie

Forestry is a curious piece of animation that dives into an unexpected blend of serenity and dread. The story revolves around a couple in a mountain lodge, and then, out of nowhere, this strange smoke starts billowing from a tree. It creates an eerie atmosphere that hangs over the narrative like a dense fog. The pacing is a bit unorthodox, allowing moments of quiet reflection interspersed with bursts of tension. The practical effects used for the smoke are particularly interesting—there’s a tactile sense that draws you in. The performances, while animated, convey a surprising depth, making the couple's predicament feel all the more surreal. It’s not your typical animated fare; it definitely leans into some dark themes that linger long after the credits roll.
