This had to be the worst movie I've ever watched. Rating 1. (as in don't bother, it's not worth the time.)

I totally agree. No whitewashing here. It was a terrible movie and it's obvious the producers weren't interested in raising social issues. But really, why can't the Japanese do that? It's their country. I understand the emotions raised on mental illness - it's horrible how mental illness is viewed there.
Anyway, why does ANYONE rely so much on HOLLYWOOD? Why WOULD you? I can't think of a more self-absorbed population in the world! Hollywood has all their causes they want us to embrace; yet they haven't a clue how the rest of us lives!!! And the day they all leave their luxurious lifestyles and go live in YURTS then maybe I'll listen to Leo about cutting down on the use of fossil fuels!!

Right on to that bro! I've been saying that exact same thing to my friends for years. Rather read a book.

American horror is terrible. Slasher flicks are not my thing. I don't mind gore but slashers are boring and predictable. I'd take a scary foreign ghost over a lame American psychopath any day.
'I rather watch it with not understanding the language than try to read the bottom of the screen and miss the whole movie because of it.'
This is why you don't enjoy supernatural/paranormal horror. Most of them build on story line and you have to pay attention. That's what makes it scary. Gory American horror is all slash, slash, slash. Can't miss much there even if there isn't dialogue in the entire film.
Pervert!

Only answer to why its bad it is "PG-13" and you may say not all PG-13 horror is not this bad but I say even if it isn't this bad, but "Troll" movies are worse. They are PG-13 and mostly of the PG-13 horror are tame and lame stuff. They cut out so much that it seems that it is more a thriller than the horror genre and people keeps saying gore does not make it scary. Well, it is part of the disgust that makes it scary. PG-13 mostly holds out that disgust.
Sorry, to piss people off but real horror fans are into the gore. Only ones that love PG-13 over the R and Unrated are wannabe horror fans that claim to be ones. Horror from the first gore horror movie is and always will be the best kind of horror movies around. People that like PG, PG-13 or Found Footage, are the wannabe horror fans that try to act like they know what horror movies are. There are so many Thrillers out that compare to those that even some are even scarier than the PG, PG-13 and Found Footage horror movies.
To name a movie that is scarier and better is, Identity 2003.
Plus, I rather watch anything American horror over some over seas caption filled movie that you have to read like a book instead of watching the film because they can't convert to American language. I will never like any horror movie with captions at all, no matter how rude you are to me about it. It will never make me like the captions that are so stupid in the first place to put in a movie.
I rather watch it with not understanding the language than try to read the bottom of the screen and miss the whole movie because of it. I rather read a book than read a screen with text. Not saying this movie is exactly this way.
I am a gore watching freak!!!
If it don't have it, it isn't worth the watch.

"white washing" with white girls lol - clean?

I disagree. I thought it was a good, solid film. 6.5/10.
That said, I think you picked the wrong movie to go all SJW on. This is a simple horror film, 12 years a slave would be a better place to whine about your personal insecurities.

The forest took them
MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I am god and im going to tell you this was a good movie. Deal with it. Also worship.
Applied Science? All science is applied. Eventually.

you sir cannot say what is good or bad to the people even Barrack Obama cannot do that so except if you are some kind of a god and we all know it does not exist, well, you can't say what's bad/good to theses people !
Last Movies
: - The Forest: 7/10
-The Revenant: 9/10

• Sisters: 7,5/10
• Joy: 3/10

Asian characters wouldn't have made sense in the context of the film. The characters had to be foreigners who didn't believe in the power of Aokigahara forest.
This film is bad but not an example of white washing.
If you want an example of white washing look no further than "Gods of Egypt" or "Exodus"

to me Aiden just acted very annoyed and pissed off.
he keeps trying to help this chick, he gets her a guide, he stays the night to help her. then she starts to go psycho on him, accuses him of lying, yells at him, doesnt trust him
would YOU have acted any different? he came off as rude or suspicious just because look at it from HIS point of view. this girl starts to treat him like crap and then runs away from him and still treats him bad after he saved her..

Nope, made perfect sense. It is called a hallucination, ever heard of that word?
It basically means she saw and experienced something that wasn't there, but real to her.

Sara has cut her wrist and sat down on a stair of the basement. She's tayed there bleeding to death. The Sara we see running, I'm pretty sure it's her soul. At some point we see that that a couple of meters away from each other and Sara i screaming ''Jess'' Jess was not turning back and running away from Sara because Sara was a scary ghost now !! And the ghosts Sara was seing was the welcome committee. The Sara that have been taken by the her feet was her soul going to hell.
What I did not like is that there was a jump of jump scare. The little girl in the cave was scary !!! I was like ''No !! Don't want to see that before going to sleep'' !!!! lol

It was a hallucination, remember the forest can mess with her mind. It reminded me a lot of The Lovely Bones (amazing movie, definitely recommend) where she is in the secret room and gets out only to know later that
she never even exited the room and actually was killed by the main antagonist.
Aiden was a good guy but remember, the forest most likely did some beep Obviously in the run down cabin, and when it came to the phone, the forest probably caused he to see that when the picture wasnt even there.
In the cabin, you hear him say that Jess is in there but after he gets stabbed and is on the verge of death he clearly says that she wasnt in there.

Decker87it sounds like you cut your wrists in the wrong direction. You do not cut them horizontally. If you do that, you WILL cause ligament and nerve damage. You need to cut it vertically. Find the pulsing artery and cut into it. Little to no damage should be done to your wrist. Hollywood always shows it incorrectly.
However, I would hope that you never try again.

Hello, Decker187
I've done it too and what I wrote above was my own expierience. Both wrists, actually.
I will not say when or why, just giving a perspective here.
That's why I posted that reply.
I know how many time take to restore the nerves.
But obviusly, your expierience with pain at the moment of cutting was completely different to mine, and that is probably because your pain threshold is different to mine.

Lol, I'm afraid to tell you that cutting your wrist is extremely painful. I've done it, and the healing process has been even more painful. And it will take years before the nerves regenerate enough to restore any sort of normality to my grip and hand strength. What you see in the movies is pure fiction. If a person is determined to commit suicide, I suggest a much more painless method. Better yet, don't do it at all.

Well, Jack.
I am afraid to tell you, when someone cut her/his wrist you don't feel pain.
First is a cold feeling, and then the arm and hand feel like prickling and tingle. After that the arm feel like asleep. And more after you start to feel week, enough to cannot move.
Maybe if it is something more deep, like cutting the hand could be pain, some serious pain, but cutting the wrist is not.
If you see the scene well Jess felt the cut in that moment.
Sara didn't run on the forest, she was just hallutinating that, it wasn't real but at the same time it was Jess feeling her close ("the noise you can't explain")
And I can agree with you about doubts on Aiden, but I didn't thought he was some sort of villain, he could be messed up, but Sara's imagination give the chance to think maybe he is not what it looks like.
Sorry for my english, but I hope you understand my point.
Greetings
