There’s no wasted motion or extraneous dialog. The film is exactly what it should be, lean and precise. This is a masterful rendering in shades of grey of an exciting new take on horror.

This "coming of age slasher film" centers around a forest in Portugal that is notorious for its many suicides. One morning, two suicidal strangers meet by chance, deciding to explore the forest together before they end their lives. But as they descend deeper into the woods, it becomes apparent that their motivations are different.

What are critics saying?
The Forest of Lost Souls is a nasty and impressive little thriller that goes about its business with ruthless cinematic efficiency.
The Hollywood Reporter by John DeFore
Only in its final moments do things crystallize with a nasty, half-ironic commentary.
Los Angeles Times by Noel Murray
The Forest of Lost Souls is a bit of a puzzle, which some viewers might find too much trouble to solve — especially given that in the middle it becomes shockingly violent. But the black-and-white images are lovely to look at, and whatever’s true or untrue about the characters, they’re all clearly alienated.
