From the forest

About This Movie

From the Forest is an intriguing blend of isolation and dread. The forest feels alive, almost like a character itself. Ema's discovery of that stick figurine sets off a chain of haunting events, and the atmosphere builds slowly, creating a sense of impending doom. The practical effects, although not groundbreaking, are effective in conveying the entity's presence—there’s something unnerving about the way it's depicted. The pacing has a nice rhythm, allowing for moments of quiet tension before the horror unfolds. It’s really about the psychological impact on Ema and her mother, which resonates long after the film ends. Not a run-of-the-mill horror flick, it immerses you into its eerie world.
