Heat Vision writes that Focus Features has picked up the North American distribution rights to The Forest, a supernatural thriller based on an original idea by David S. Goyer.

“Forest is set in the legendary Aokigahara forest, a real-life place in Japan where people go to end their lives.”

According to the producers, Forest centers on “a young American woman who comes in search of her twin sister, who has mysteriously disappeared. Despite everyone’s warnings not to ‘stray from the path,’ she dares to enter the forest to discover the truth about her sister’s fate, only to be confronted by the angry and tormented souls of the dead who now prey on anyone who crosses their paths.”

The project comes with Jason Zada (“Take This Lollipop,” pictured) attached to direct and a script by Sarah Cornwell.

David Linde’s Lava Bear Films is producing the film along with Goyer and Nellie Reed under his Phantom Four banner.

Focus has already set a January 8, 2016, release for the U.S.

Ive heard of that place! I remember reading the Wiki page and stuff on some other sites about that and other famous places where people often commit suicide. Imo, its the perfect sort of setting for a movie like this so I'll definitely give this a watch in...two...years...when its released, ha.

I was thinking this would be a remake of the 80s slasher, The Forest. But, I'm really interested in this. I love the macabre and this place has fascinated me for years. I'm interested to see what Zada brings since "Take This Lollipop" was great.

Can't you see it? The effects of cinema violence on society?

Agreed. Seems like it'll have A LOT of cheap, typical jumpscares but I love the look of most of the spirits so I can live with that. :P

Yeah, that was one of the things that bothered me from the trailer, but I'm willing to look past that in hopes that it'll surprise me

Yeah, I'm still excited too (maybe even more excited now). As long as the story is decent, I won't mind the tacky jumpscares, I guess.

I spent an entire evening reading on Aokigahara, and ugh, that place is just creepy.

I also learned that the forest is the setting for Fatal Frame V and FUCK.THAT.

Those are two very good looking posters that I would not mind having.

I'm going to get my theater friend to keep a look out for them for me :)
