My friends, what we have here is a classic case of killer-looking movie, so-so title. I’m speaking of the forthcoming monster flick, FEAR THE FOREST (see what I mean). However, like most non-judgmental genre fans, I am more than willing to look beyond a mere name… especially when the trailer and plot synopsis seem like such fun! Of course we’ve got the trailer posted for you below, but do take a sec to read through the plot first:
Ten Years ago, there was a “Ghost-like something” seen killing people in the dark unforgiving woods as people were culled away one by one and some never to be found. What really happened? This year reports have surfaced that it was all just a “Hoax”… But a local philanthropist believes different and puts a $2.5 Million Dollar Bounty on this “Beast” in the woods and a team of expert hunters go out looking for the “Silent Killer.” But now years later it was never to be found and they dismissed it as an unsolved mystery! When BARBARA SANDERS and her free spirited college friends venture off into the deep woods of the Northeastern Valley Mountains to look for this so called legend and for a weekend retreat, their camping and canoeing trip fun turns into FEAR in the FOREST and a dangerous roller coaster adventure ride when they each encounter the unspeakable terror! Now it’s a serious struggle against Man Vs Beast in which there can only be one in the end.
I really dig the idea of expert hunters crossing paths with camping college kids. That should make for some ridiculous interactions, especially while a bloodthirsty beast is lurking about. FOREST was written and directed by Matthew Bora who also stars in the flick alongside Alev Dinc, George Dinc, Don Evans, Bill Kalatsky, Anna Kendrick, Jared Michalski, Elana Safar, Alan Schilling, and Steven Sherman. The good news is that the flick has just been released on DVD and you can order yourself a copy by clicking right HERE.
