Review - The Forest

Natalie Dormer plays twins caught up in the sinister malaise of the Aokigahara “suicide” forest in Japan. The picture gets off to a reasonably good Americans-borrowing-Japanese-ghost-stories start, but somewhere along the line it loses all focus. The back half of the story (assuming there even is a story at that point) wanders as aimlessly as someone lost in a forest full of malicious spirits. Mildly amusing.
