Really really bad,
By Mad Maximus (London UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Forest of the Damned [2005] [DVD] (DVD)
I watched this on a satellite TV and wish I hadn't. My jaw was dropped for most of the film as I could believe this had ever been made. Tom salvini was hardly in it!

really bad,
By Edward (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Forest of the Damned [2005] [DVD] (DVD)
I bought this film because David Pirie recommends it in his book, A New Heritage Of Horror - it is an excellent book - but if this is really the state of UK horror, well, we're in a lot of trouble.
As other reviewers have said it does have one interesting idea but apart from Nicole Petty that's about all it's got going for it. I know this is a very low budget project but it is a kind of a privilege to get to make a film and watching this and then (maybe especially) listening to the film makers' commentary (yeah that means I saw it twice - I need help!) left me a bit appalled really. The DOP, at one point on the commentary, smugly declares it "a good watch" - he is delusional.

Could have been better,
By Mr. Jonathon T. Beckett "vampire lover" (Dracula's Crypt) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Forest of the Damned [2005] [DVD] (DVD)
I'm all for low budget British horror. Most of the films I watched as a teenager fall into that category. However, they were all at least garishly entertaining, with interesting concepts and buckets of blood.
There is an interesting idea here too, that of fallen angels doomed to forever roam the forest looking for victims to entrance and feed on. The films builds up quite a nice atmosphere, and a feeling of mounting unease, only to go nowhere with it. The actors are all adequate but no one stands out and Tom Savini only has a small role which wastes his talents. The cinematography is good, as are the special effects, but I was left feeling that if Johannes Roberts had tried a bit harder he could have made a far more interesting, imaginative film. I felt that he did a much better job with When Evil Calls with its mini cautionary tales. Still, its not the disaster that some reviews would have you believe, and theres a nice cameo from Shaun Hutson at the end( my how he's aged since I last saw him in the flesh, guesting on James Whale in the late 1980's) The DVD release is okay, but nothing special
