Don't Go Back to Black Tree Forest....Run Away!!!
madmanrhc19 January 2023
Dustin, Dustin, Dustin! Why in the hell would you want to "escape" to Black Tree Forest when you never should have taken us there in the first place? "Terror at Black Tree Forest" (2010) was terrible. Yes, I did rate it a 2 but that was only because there was a 5 second close up of Christina (Suzanne) Leonard's "big beautiful eyes"!!!

Dustin Ferguson has a penchant for the close up filming of nature. I saw more shot of trees, stumps, bushes, grasses, leaves, lakes and rivers than I saw when I visited the National Arboretum in Washington. Unfortunately, none of these nature views had a damn thing to do with the movie!

When someone says "this is a Dustin Ferguson film", they have no idea how right they are. In this film alone, Dustin was Director, Writer, Producer, Cinematographer, Editor, Special Effects, Visual Effects, the voice of Nick the Newsman and other sorted jobs as listed in the ending credits. Unfortunately, he was not very good at any of them!

The only positive thing I can say about this piece of celluloid was the quality of the background music! The songs were written by Mike Dowty and performed by the Mike Dowty Band. You can download the music from "Footprints in the World" from iTunes.

There is an old saying, "fool me once - shame on you, fool me twice - shame on me!" Well Dustin, this is definitely "shame on me"!!!
