the forest isn not just your everyday standard slasher or backwoods cannibal fare and it also have an interesting mix of supernatural element a well . the story be about two couple that hike into the forest on a camping trip . a cave dwelling and cannibalistic woodsman and the ghost of his dead wife and two child soon terrorize them . there be something you do not see every slasher . director don jones get an a for effort although the film itself fall flat on just about every level and the acting be just simply average except for jeanette kelly who play the dead wife of the woodsman ( michael brody aka gary kent ) . the film open with some beautiful shot of a couple hike through a valley and into a forest . they realize too late that someone be stalk them . they be both dispatch in typical slasher fare . our killer use a trusty hunting knife throughout the entire film and except during a flashback when he implement a handsaw and pitchfork and rusty saw blade to dispatch his cheat wife lover . the forest have a good story line but the movie just doesn not work along with it i find it pretty bore with simply crappy act . 4/10 .
