Forest of the Dead (2007) User Reviews

A Rebel with Cheese

[nogodnomasters · 2/10 · 19 September 2017]

On their way to Crystal Lake a group of young adults spoofing young adults stop at Alfred Packer Lake. The next thing you know we have Troma style effects. The film was a spoof of woods slasher style films, but incorporated cannibal zombies. Two guys pretended to be French Canadians with bad accents and one guy wore an Afro wig stereotyping black people. Some might find it more insulting than amusing, especially French Canadians. The acting was terrible, some by design. Sound man (?) shadow in van scene, headlights randomly in forest, cliché dialogue including old MTV video dialogue a lot of younger people might not get.

Guide: F-word. Sex. No nudity.

Possibly the worst movie I have ever seen

It is incredible to me that there are people out there that will actually produce and distribute a movie as bad as this. Apparently they will let just anyone with a home movie camera put together a piece of crap like this and call it a movie. The film quality actually a little better than Jose Prendes "Monster Man" but that's not saying much. The dialog was actually worse and I didn't think that was possible. Amazingly the acting was in a world of it's own. A whole new level of BAD. These people couldn't act if it would save their lives. The Rebel without a clue, the two gay French Canadians (whose accents were worse than crap but better than their acting), the girls...... well they were female but their interaction with each other and the guys was beyond faking it. The two worst were the idiot in the fake afro and the nerd that ran away crying with his hands flapping in the air. Run screaming away, Don't waste your time or money on this one. I want my hour plus BACK.

Scary!! Excellent

This movie is very scary. I fully enjoyed every minute of it. The plot takes so many twists and turns, you will never be bored. It is sooo funny and whoever wrote and filmed it did a great job. I especially like some of the Canadian-specific jokes in the FD. I recommend it to anyone looking for a fun horror movie - watch it with a date! It seems to have some relationship-commentary woven into the characters' dialogue. But you won't be prepared for what happens...next! Overall, 10/10. ...............................................Hopefully you are not the type to get scared easily because the suspense in this film is almost unbearable.

Definitely not the worst 90 minutes of my life

Right from the beginning, it is obvious that this film is very low budget and the actors are not professionals (I don't think). I was worried. I considered just stopping it and mailing back the DVD.

But I kept it going and I have to say it was hilarious! And the gore was awesome. There were definitely some creative minds working on this one. I think that they did what they set out to do--I didn't see any real plot holes and there were some good creepy moments among the humor.

Some of the lines had me laughing out loud, especially with the two French guys.

Make another one. I will watch it!

I was impressed with this film.

I'll start by saying that this isn't mainstream standards, when the film gets started you can tell its low budget but shows a great deal of creativity and a degree of film-making skill, the dialog has some hilarious lines and is pretty good, the actors are not professionals but give fair performances and another really good thing about it, is that it doesn't have a predictable ending.

So try your luck with this film, it also good gore effects, a little timid but good, so give it a shot if you want see something smart and creative and remember its not mainstream but worth the effort and wouldn't mind seeing a possible forest of the dead 2.

6 out of 10.
