The Haunter Forest: My Foot!
13 April 2016
Warning: Spoilers
***SPOILERS***It took some two years after it was put in the can before this turkey was served via direct video on an unsuspecting public who are for the most part totally confused by it's message about the horrors of Covington Forest that its telling them. That has to do with a group of know it all but known nothing at all teens who plan to spend the night there and end getting swallowed up by it.

Filmed in almost total darkness and with a confusing POV editing you get lost, like the teens, as soon as it starts with the teens freaking out for what seems like no reason at all but by not having the proper lighting,the movie-makers way of saving on the electric bill, to see their way out of the mess they find themselves in. One of the girls Nia, Chole Bridges, gets so scared of nothing really in particular that she turns into a mindless zombie for the entire movie just staring into space and not saying a single word. The leader of the group Robin, Shelby Young, is the only one that seems to be conscious of whats going on and for that is the one who ends up getting the business from whoever is pulling the strings behind the scenes.

*****SPOILERS***** Incredible long for a short 85 minute movie it takes a lifetime for the sun to finally rise in Covington Forest for it to finally come to an end. Your not at all curtain who of the some half dozen teens survived and by then you just didn't really care. Like the saying goes they made their bed and ended up sleeping in it which was infested with a colony of bed bugs. As for who or whatever was haunting them it or he seems to have been up conjured by the frighten teens in trying to make their stay in the forest exciting but ended up getting the best of them in the end. About the only one who did survive and in tact was Karmer the teens pet dog who was far too intelligent and able to understand that the whole things, it their stay in the forest was a sick joke on the teens part and checked out, to the sane world, before the film was over.
