Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Released same year as Gus Van Sant's Restrepo-adjacent 'The Sea of Trees' — 2013 had a weird obsession with Aokigahara as horror set dressing. This one just had less budget and more shame.
Director Steven R. Monroe also made 'I Spit on Your Grave' (2010), which explains the 'trauma as entertainment' energy. At least that one knew it was exploitation.
