No coherent storyline, abysmal acting, appalling script, pathetic monster suit and on and on and on... Worth watching to remind yourself how bad movies can actually be... There are so many things to criticise about this shambles of a movie... I'll pick just one. 'Continuity'... there's a scene where the 'leading actress' is being chased through the woods. In one shot she has a pony tail, in the next she doesn't, followed by another where she has a pony tail, followed by another where she doesn't and this happens a number of time during the same chase sequence. That about sums up the quality of this 'movie'. I highly recommend watching this movie for the lameness factor...

Literally every aspect of this movie was terrible. The story, acting, cinematography, special effects, there was not a single saving grace. I'm convinced the people leaving positive reviews watched a different film than I did. I would not recommend this movie to anyone.

There is a lot of awful movies, but they usually do fall just in one category of badness. For example the script is bad, actors cannot act, the production values are low, the plot is derivative etc.

Fear the Forest is an unique exception as it combines all the different sorts of badness into single package so you can study them and do not waste your time with different bad movies.

For start there is incredibly messy script with ton of mostly useless side characters. The actors cannot act which would not be that bad unless they are supposed to sound overly dramatic or professional. Then - there is just horrible camera probably held at hand on all times even in situations where the tripod would me most welcome. Crazy use of color filters and effects, every scene looks different. Then we have some really really bad sound recording. I rather do not mention the plot holes or pure inability to build suspension. There is no thrill at all except the thrill of watching really horrid film making.

In summary this is a prime example of too ambitious project with not enough resources or experience to actually finish watchable movie. It is just a pure mess valuable only as a warning for beginners.

Literally felt like I was watching someone's very poorly done Youtube spoof of a bigfoot movie.

What a great movie. It had all the elements of a Horror/thriller movie

The characters journey was perfect in every way. The mood and feel changes were riveting. The action and suspense was surprising and awe inspiring at the same time. The scene where the bounty hunters first encountered the military men was simply well crafted, how the military men shot one of the bounty hunters leg that led to a slight rivalry that went through the movie, although one might say the slow motions in the movie were a tad too much but it as well brings out a certain beauty in some scenes, one in particular was when big foot was shot by two hunters, the slow motion there truly captured the essence there

And the conclusion! The underlying themes were brought together in the most masterful way I've seen in a while in horror movies.

i would highly recommend this movie to anyone who hasn't seen it yet...

Love every bit of this movie, love how the actors blended with their character roles.

i also enjoyed watching this movie because it there was never a dull moment, as the martial arts scene where the stunts were perfectly crafted that it look realistic, from the camera movements, expression on the faces of the characters and to the sparring. it was superb in every way.

I vote this movie ten out of ten because of the great cast and also the great suspenseful creepy feel of the film the whole deep undertones of the score of the movie keeps you very interested in whats going to happen next every time I watch it.

The horror genre for me has been pretty mediocre for the past several years, and so I have pretty much ignored a lot of horror movies that have come out, with the exception of a few. However, after a few friends great review, I knew it was something I had to see. And sure enough, Fear the Forest delivers in spades. It has everything a horror fan could want, from our favorite clichés to some fantastic surprises. Suffice to say, every horror fan should go see this.

I won't spoil the story, but to get into things a little, we focus on the age old tale of horror films: friends go to a forest to go camping and for some fun and then the **** hits the fan. And when it does, it does so gleefully. It would be easy to blow this off as a simple parody, but it's not. I won't say how, but this is essentially a horror movie within a horror movie, and it's mostly dead serious. There's plenty of humor throughout, mostly due to Kurtis character. And in fact, pretty much all the actors play their parts well. They are likable characters, even if they are cliché, but the clichés are part of the entire point. And in such areas, these characters are great. If you're worried about the horror aspect of the film, fear not, it delivers immensely. There are plenty of chilling scenes, though I wouldn't necessarily call them scary, and there is plenty of gore for the gorehounds, particularly at the end.

To say much more would be to give away too much. I certainly had a few qualms about the film, but they were few and far between. And the less you know the better. I will only say that if you've been looking for good horror film, this is it. Mathew Bora delivered in every way and the film will be remembered for some time in the same way Scream was remembered for shaking up the genre. This is similar, but different in oh so many ways. Though i regret not seeing the movie far back the n in 2009. you should go see this movie. It's the kind of film that comes out once in a blue moon.

Its not necessarily unique as all of its parts have been done before in past films but what is unique is how ingeniously it fuses those genres together. Even naming the different films its inspired from would be spoiling the fun.

but though there are a lot of few surprises and suspense scenes which makes the movie ever thrillng and also While the acting and overall concept are both quite remarkable, there's an unmistakable clunkiness to the film, alternating between the dialogue, blocking, and editing.

However, the cinematography is superb, especially on such a low budget, and the action sequences when the big foot aspect of the film are fully utilized simply aren't to be missed.

Fear the Forest is so good till the very end. But they could have done a better climax. The suspense sequences, cinematography and music will make us thrilled at every scene. A must watchable for future horror movie lovers.

I believe it to be better than most of these super expensive Horror movies that are all flash no substance. The story is simple but a simple story done with the right amount of twists and compact vision works wonders.

The movie surprised me quite a lot and deserves its praise.

If you like horror and thriller movies then this is a must see.

Brilliant.

This is my favorite horror movie and in no small amount due to the performances. I loved Mountain Man #2. Bill Kalatsky brought his A game. Can someone cast this man as Vecna from stranger things. WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW. The way he talks conveys such emotion and he elevates all the action he is in. If anyone watches this movie watch Mountain Man #2. I didn't even watch this movie but he is so good in the trailer. GIVE THIS MAN AN OSCAR PLEASE. The man has got everything acting, hair, and extreme speed when running in the movie. Also the graphics are decent enough. They ain't bad. Bigfoot is also a scary villain. I Love this movie and I love Mountain Man #2.

This movie has pretty bad graphics and is low budget but Mountain Man#2 makes it feel HD. Bill Kalatsky said he would deliver and he did as mountain Man#2. He carried such emotion and so much character that he should be the next Hollywood super star. I would personally love to act by his side in a movie. BILL KALATSKY IS MY IDOL he is not just a prodigy but a legend. Please hire this man in more movies because everyone would watch his incredible performance. I'd recommend this movie just to watch Mountain Man#2.

Fanmio should hire him so his fans can talk to him one on one. Lets give one more shoutout to Mathew Bora for hiring this absolute legend of a man.

A well acted movie.. a fun horror movie definitely worth making time for to view

The film is terrific on many levels. It works as your straight monster or action type film, as a horror/sci-fi and also as a very intriguing look into the human psyche. The incredible sense of paranoia, mistrust and fear, lent not only by Mathew Bora direction (which is stunning) but also by the incredible acting of the cast in general

I thought this movie would be just another cheap horror movie with bad effects and terrible acting. MAN WAS I WRONG!!! I am a simple man. I like watching actors that are REALLY good at acting. I watched the trailer and I saw potential in one of the people running, thinking that person looks like they really know what they are doing. THEN I READ THE REVIEWS. There was so much hype about Bill Kalatsky's portrayal of Mountain Man #2, I knew I had to check it out. The movie did not disappoint. I was right that the special effects were a little bad, but the pure acting talent of Mountain Man #2 elevated the movie and made everything feel so real it didn't matter. More people should give this movie a chance because it is not just another generic marvelish horror movie. It is one of the most impactful emotional and scary movies I have ever seen in no small part due to Bill Kalatsky's astonishing performance of Mountain Man #2.

This is one of the classic Guy films. Horror sci fi as it was meant to be - a real story with good acting. Giving us something missing from almost all horror movies - depth and character.

Which has given this style of movie-making it's well deserved reputation and status
