Thoughts;
Although there were tons of people in this movie, really only the 4 listed about stood out. The main character is Natalie Dormer who plays both Sara and Jess.

It doesn’t really start off slow, you get what’s going on with the sisters in the very beginning of the movie, there are flash backs and little stories that tell you exactly what happened.

Sara decides to fly to Japan to find her twin sister Jess. Turns out according to a call from the Japanese police, her sister was last seen entering the Aokigahara Forest, which is known for it’s mass amounts of suicides.

I looked this up, and have heard stories of this forest, located at the base of Mount Figi before, but looking it again there are tons of crazy stories and pictures.

With the help of a reporter and his friend, who search the woods often for bodies, Sara goes into the forest, the go off the main trail and find Jess’s tent. Two of them spend the night and that’s when the real terror begins.


This movie was ok. It wasn’t super scary, but it was creepy.
