Natalie Dormer, director Jason Zada and MTV head to Japan to face the spiritual unknown in the Aokigahara Forest, in the early 2016 horror film The Forest. The trailer follows Sara (Dormer) as she searches for her lost twin sister, last seen heading into the legendary location. The Forest looks to have ample amount of creepy, spooky goodness as a variety of ghosts and supernatural entities appear to be following Sara on her journey. Some of the visuals are reminiscent of various J-Horror films, The Ring, The Eye, and others. Look for the film to debut in January, 2016. You know that Doc will force the other Grue-Crew to cover this on Horror News Radio. More to come.
