Review
Watch this film in the dark with some popcorn it is creepy. As if the location of the plot isn't creepy enough there's enough jump scares and genuine suspense to terrify you. The suspense in this film is terrifying and you will feel goosebumps.
There's a lot of twists and turns in this film and it has a lot to offer. The director himself became enthrallled with Aokigahara Forest and even went to visit the area.
The film was shot at Tara Mountain in Serbia because filming in Aokigahara Forest is not permitted by the Japanese government. The film came out to some controversy regarding the subject matter and disliked for not being 'scary enough'.
The film is creepy and if you already know about the suicide forest I urge you to watch this film.
Don't forget to follow the blog and stay horrific!
