(2007) *1/2
A group of friends wander into an Indian forest to find a mysterious cursed tree and a secret burial ground. Their goal to release the tortured Indian spirit of Satinka who was trapped in the tree a long time ago. First mistake, there's a reason someone trapped her in a tree so just leave well enough alone and go live your life. Nope! One by one the friends get picked off by the angry tree spirit.
I realize that I rated this film brutally low but the entire thing is a blatant ripoff of J-horror. Take the coolest looking ghosts from The Ring & The Grudge and serve them up with a huge helping of American cheese and you'll have Haunted Forest. I just got more and more pissed off as I watched it. What a shame to see such lack of originality.

A January review! Damn, this was one I wanted to check out but it sounds like it's to be avoided. You're making me feel guilty about the reviews I still have to write...
I'm trying to knock out the rest, 50P inspired me.
