The Forest

I bought this before I watched it which I think was my mistake. I was enticed by the idea that it was Japanese based. But unfortunately the elements of Japanese horror is actually not really there. They took the Japanese culture and used American horror with gore and jump scares to try and make the film still scary. I do have to say though, the scene in which the female lead Sara was in the Forest and it was whispering her name, got to me. That was fantastic. My birth name is Sarah and it was perfect the way it felt it was coming from all over. But they really missed the elements of sound with creep that the Japanese are famous for. Over all the movie was not worth buying, it was barely worth watching and I may never watch it again. :(
