Quite by good luck I saw this film as a reviewer tester.
Never been a reviewer before or an avid horror fan.
Anyhow, as a fan of suspense films I enjoyed this one, savoring the predicaments, and its exceptional climax.
It's set and filmed on location in a really weird forest in Japan: not only is the forest weird - looks like tangled trees above tangled undergrowth, all springing from awfully jumbled earth, but also its reputation in Japanese myth or legend.
The basic idea is very well spun out by the author and the actors' performances reflect knowledgeable , dedicated direction.
Would not recommend this for children under 15. There is some nudity but there is also exceptionally graphic violence. Even later teen years, I'd suggest chaperoning.
