Reviews:
“In The Forest has a severe problem, which is its script. Everything from how the plot is structured to how it unfolds on-screen is problematic for your enjoyment. As a result, it ends up being a movie with a fairly dry first half and a second-half that improves on the entertainment factor but has so many holes in its story that it becomes untenable. 3/10 10th Circle
