Don’t miss this The Forest motion poster for the trees!

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

I must say, I've seen a lot of motion posters in my tenure here at Arrow in the Head, but this new piece for THE FOREST is one of my favorites. A simple but elegant design that flows easily from one image to the next, it's much more complex than the typical designs, which might as well be lenticular DVD covers tilting back and forth. For the first time I can actually sort of understand why the format even exists in the first place! Check it out below!

Rising with terrifying grandeur at the base of Mt. Fuji in Japan, the legendary real-life Aokigahara Forest is the suspense-filled setting of the supernatural thriller.  A young American woman, Sara, journeys there in search of her twin sister, who has mysteriously disappeared.

In the company of expatriate Aiden, Sara enters the forest having been well warned to “stay on the path.” Determined to discover the truth about her sister’s fate, Sara will have to face the angry and tormented souls of the dead that prey on anyone who dares come near them. These malevolent spirits lying in wait for Sara at every turn will plunge her into a frightening darkness from which she must fight to save herself.

Directed by Jason Zada and starring Natalie Dormer, Taylor Kinney, Yukiyoshi Ozawa, and Eoin Macken, THE FOREST will rustle into theaters on January 8th.
