Into the Forest

Into the Forest is a 2015 post-apocalyptic film. The apocalypse is undefined but takes place in the near future. I watched it on Netflix.

trailer:



The Hollywood Reporter says, "Beautiful and sensitive to character but gripping when it needs to be, the pic is too grounded to be lumped into the apocalyptic genre bin". Roger Ebert's site closes by saying, "find a way to see "Into the Forest," for it is the kind of film that will not only stick with you, it will even make you think."

  2. I've seen this. Post apocalyptic films are not my thing, but if I take away that, it wasn't a badly made movie. Happy Saturday!

  5. Ah yes--was an very interesting take, I thought. Kind of like an intimate slice of life picture during an apocalypse...and after, I guess. A very personal, close up view to make you think. :)

    1. I did enjoy this one. It's got more female characters than these films usually do, and they're well-written and acted. And I thought the plot development good and well-paced.

  7. I'm not sure about watching post-apocalyptic thing these days. I think we are living post-apocalyptic -- or on the way. That said, this one looks pretty interesting. I may have to add this to my list.

  8. Seriously, I just watched this, again, on Friday. It is one of my faves. I like Elliot Page and really like Evan Rachel Wood. This is a good one for sure.
