SparkMore n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Prabhakaran So I saw this movie recently. It seemed to be a typical scream-scare horror movie. But the underlying meaning could have meant something else if crafted with more nuances.The story is about a Forrest which is haunted by a tree that hunts humans for a reason. A group of students came in search of such a legendary tree. One among them was the guy who has intentions to find it out though nobody knows about it's whereabouts. And what happens in their search is the story.The special effects and other cheap scares are there in the movie. The director also uses the cut-in-the-middle of a scene tactics to increase the anxiety of the audience about what happened. The flash back story has to be more effective and could have been even lengthier to tell the tale of green peace. But the director slightly touches over it "the arrogance of man in killing trees".If we see it in reality our human life is bound into trees. If there are not enough trees in this world to reduce the co2 the humans pollute in various ways, then the world is like a hell. We already see the global warming effects all over the world. The arctic and Antarctic zones are no more cold. The ice at the poles started melting and filling the ocean all over the world raising the sea levels. That is another cause for all these cyclones, climate changes, season changes. Even coastal cities would submerge into water in 50-100 years. Basically, the root cause is as we humans tend to live a planned life and we break the natural life cycle which was there for millions of years. Anybody who could have read this paragraph would have been horrified ? I bet not.But watching this movie does scare you to some extent. And if you are able to correlate how human treats trees and what if the trees start to flare back at humans, then you could be scared morally. Becos we humans have no ethics towards non-human beings. But if things turned around? The last but one shot of the film at the end will show an empty wide open space where at one end the Forrest will be there and at the other end there will be a bull-dozer that destroys trees. The humans by destroying the Forrest, make the space empty and they 'go towards' that trend(the characters walking towards the bull-dozer direction). The trees on the other hand give them life by 'embedding them' inside like an pregnant mother. This is a correlation of the opposite natures where the loving mom becomes a monster.Keep this in mind and start watching this movie. Probably you could realize the horror in trees killing humans ( which is the reverse of humans killing trees). If the film was able to contrast this difference strikingly then it would have been a never-before told moral-horror classic story.

Sanyog Chaudhry God! I am a big time fan of Horror movies, i get the thrill and excitement when i watch them. But, let me assure you this movie comes with no such package. It bores you to death.Based on some thought process, which is crazy to say the least, this movie revolves around a ghostly forest which has seen sufferings of a girl some 200 years ago. Who suddenly decides "Its my time, folks"! and she kills...An American, an Englishman, and a stoner head into the forest in search of a hidden burial ground (just wait for the punch line). Sean, the American, has his grandfather's leather-bound journal, which details the horrific reign of Satinka, a malicious tree ghost with sharpened twigs for fingers who haunts the forest. Using the journal and the final photographs of a vanished tourist, the trio are intent on locating Satinka's haunted tree and the sacred burial ground that lies beneath. A couple of female botany students wander into the plot, apparently to keep things interesting.It turns out Satinka was an American Indian who was killed by some crazy white boys intent on driving out all the Injuns. She exacts her revenge by stabbing victims with wood slivers, thus marking them, and then sucking them into the ground. Despite Satinka's Native American heritage, she looks and moves like pretty much every Asian ghost you've seen in J-horror movies (and their American remakes) since The Eye, black hair hanging in her face, dark eyes, crawling in stutters and jerks across the forest floor, with the sound of snapped twigs accompanying her arrival.Please avoid watching it and wasting time.

shelletc I thought this movie was very well-done. I saw it screened at the Oxford International Film Festival and absolutely loved it. I saw several people jump throughout the movie and everyone seemed to enjoy it. Sevy DiCione (the male lead) came in-person to screen the film and was a really nice guy. The mythology behind the movie was pretty interesting. I also thought they did a good job building tension with how the victims get "marked" by the ghost. The scene in the car where the ghost attacks also was pretty well-made. The ghost looks pretty creepy. I wouldn't want to get very close to those nails! I can't wait for the DVD release and plan on getting it asap!

amywade This movie took me on a ride! It is breathtaking and beautiful as much as it is SHOCKING and HORRIFYING. The acting is FANTASTIC- all of the characters are likable and REAL, totally engaging to watch. Sevy Di Cione is AWESOME. He is a natural. Visually, the movie is hypnotizing- I felt like I was RIGHT THERE, in the forest, with them... the camera takes you into the picture... it is eerie and irresistible and totally frightening. Great SPECIAL EFFECTS, SOUND, and the MUSIC is ENCHANTING... Mauro Borelli knows how to captivate an audience! It was one of SCARIEST movies I have ever seen- felt like I ran a marathon when it was over! (also had to check my pulse a few times during the film, no kidding) LOVED it, thank you, AW
