Shameful cash grab off of other peoples' misery

I believe the OP is referring to the fact that the "suicide forest" is actually real. It's a forest in Japan near Mt. Fuji where over 100 bodies are found each year from suicides. Japan has an extremely high rate of suicide.
Are you not entertained?! -

Are you kidding me? Its a movie based of a legend of the forest. Its known that many people go there to commit suicide for unknown reasons and that many people so see a lot of stuff out there. By your logic, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Conjuring, Strangers, Hostel, etc are all "shameful cash grabs" because they profit off of real life events, whether it be direct or mixed in with the plot.

No movies based on "peoples' misery". So, pretty much every action, thriller, horror, splatter etc are shameful according to you?
One alternative would of course be that you simply read the short explanation before watching the movie
"A woman goes into Japan's Suicide Forest to find her twin sister, and confronts supernatural terror."
If it turns out that you get extremely upset by movies in real forests or movies about suicide you simply avoid watching it.
If you get upset by sharks eating people watching Jaws or Sharknado is probably a bad move.
If you get upset by watching Sean Bean you would probably be better off not watching any movies with him.
If you get upset by movies that takes place in Japan starring non-japanese people there are probably a lot of movies you should avoid.
If you get upset by crappy movies with extremely bad acting and extremely bad story you should probably avoid watching The Ouija Experiment 2: Theatre of Death (2015).
The point is - you decide what you watch. If you have specific preferences that tells you watching something is bad; then don't watch it! And if you happen to watch it anyway; well, turn it off.
Every great horror flick grabs cash of other people's misery, or your own misery. The fear of loss or abandonment, the fear of being helpless, the fear of dark, the fear of old places or the supernatural, the fear that you get kidnapped, harmed or killed. -

In that case I'd advice you to avoid watching The Ouija Experiment 2: Theatre of Death (2015) http://www.imdb.com/board/13727824/ . A bit of bad hygiene can always be rectified, but what have been seen can never be unseen.

It's far from the only movie about the Suicide Forest! Not that long ago, I watched "Grave Halloween". At least something happens in that film! This one has been deadly dull, especially because the lead actress can only do scowls and speak in monotone. yawn
