Trailer for the Supernatural Thriller THE FOREST Set in Japan’s Suicide Forest

The first trailer has been released for producer David Goyer’s new supernatural horror thriller The Forest. The movie stars Natalie Dormer, who also stars in Game of Thrones and The Hunger Games. She’s a great actress, and this seems like an interesting film project for her to take on. There's a fascinating history behind the setting of the film, and I’m surprised it took so long for someone to use it for a film. 

The story is set in the legendary Aokigahara forest, which is a real place in Japan where people go to end their lives. The film follows "a young American woman who comes in search of her twin sister, who has mysteriously disappeared. Despite everyone's warnings not to 'stray from the path,' she dares to enter the forest to discover the truth about her sister's fate, only to be confronted by the angry and tormented souls of the dead who now prey on anyone who crosses their paths." 

The movie was directed by Jason Zada from a script written by Sarah Cornwell. The Forest hits theaters on January 8th, 2016!
