In this first trailer
for Jason Zada's horror film The Forest, Natalie Dormer travels to the
legendary Aokigahara Forest at the base of Mt. Fuji in Japan to find her
missing twin sister, and supernatural calamity ensues.
More commonly known
as the Suicide Forest, the location is real and as the name implies it is where
many people go to commit suicide, so sadly that should, in theory help the
filmmaker achieve tension and unease.
The Forest isn't the
only recent movie that ventures in this place steeped in Japanese mythology.
Director Gus Van Sant recently directed The Sea of Trees (another common name
for the Aokigahara Forest) starring Naomi Watts, Matthew McConaughey, and Ken
Watanabe.
The Forest opens on
January 8, 2016, and also stars Taylor Kinney, Eoin Macken, and Yukiyshi Ozawa.
A supernatural
thriller set in the legendary Aokigahara Forest at the base of Mt. Fuji in
Japan. A young American woman, Sara (Natalie Dormer of “Game of Thrones”
and “The Hunger Games”), goes in search of her twin sister, who has
mysteriously disappeared. Despite everyone’s warnings to “stay on the path,”
Sara enters the forest determined to discover the truth about her sister’s fate
– only to be confronted by the angry and tormented souls of the dead that prey
on anyone who wanders into the forest.
