Format: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!

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.

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

Oh Dear!!!
What attracted me to this film in the first place was the brilliant Shaun Hutson starring in it! Really wish I had not bothered. It was awful, awful, awful. Read more

Utter Crap
This may be in my top 10 worst films of all time. The acting was terrible, the special effects were worse and the plot was weak!

Bad and brilliant
It's so bad it's brilliant. Check out the getaway from the mad axeman - it's a getaway on a tractor.

A very cool film
I first read about this film on some horror site and thought what a cool sounding film. Forest of the damned's plot is basically in the forest dwell these fallen angels, they... Read more
