Year of first release: 2012
Director: Giorgio Serafini
Actors: Isabelle Fuhrman, Joel Courtney, James Le Gros
Country: USA
Genre: Horror, Thriller

Synopsis: An ailing father, who is about to undergo a potentially life-threatening surgery, takes his teenage kids into the woods to try and recapture their early closeness, before he and his wife divorced and everything changed. Lost in a haunted forest from which there seems no escape except death. 
Review: The viewer is driven in believing that persons are looking for dead people. Slowly, we see that the roles are actually inversed. This plot reminds a bit The others. But instead of showing a bare house, we are here moving in a forest. The adventure is tempered with supernatural characters, some gentle other apparently dangerous. This fantastic forest is drawn with sensibility.
The movie is the second movie of director Giorgio Serafini dealing with the death of kids and is obviously a work on the death of his daughter. 
Rating: 6 /10

  1. I have already completely forgotten about this movie less than a month after seeing it, which is not a good sign.
    I really didn't feel involved in the story, although I understand what the director wished to accomplish. 3/10
