Portugal isn’t a country you would associate with horror movies. In fact, I can’t think of one other Portuguese horror movie I have even heard of. So I was looking forward to what The Forest of the Lost Souls had to offer. The forest in the title is apparently Portugal’s most popular forest for people to commit suicide. Not a title the tourist board promote I assume!
The story follows two people, a man in his fifties and a woman about late teens/early twenties who meet in the forest. Both there to end their lives but two very different people. And the first half of the film is an interesting ‘odd couple’ back and forth as they walk through the tress together talking about...

"Sadness will last forever." Wild Eye Releasing has debuted an official Us trailer for a Portuguese horror film titled The Forest of the Lost Souls, or originally A Floresta das Almas Perdidas in Portuguese. The psychological coming-of-age horror film is about two strangers who find themselves in the same "dense and remote forest", a place where many people go to commit suicide. They continue talking and walking and start to learn more about each other, taking them down a path neither expected. The Forest of the Lost Souls stars Daniela Love and Jorge Mota, along with Mafalda Banquart, Lígia Roque, Lília Lopes, and Tiago Jácome. It's hard to really figure out what's going on in this trailer, but it looks like there might be something intriguing here. It also seems like there's a major twist or two we're not supposed to see coming. Here's the official Us trailer (+ poster) for...
