Arthouse meets grindhouse in a tale of two strangers who meet in a forest where people go to commit suicide - but one of them has no intention of dying.
If you have an eye for slow burn horror in the style of The Eyes of My Mother (SFF 2016) and Goodnight Mommy (SFF 2015), then don't miss the sophisticated debut feature by José Pedro Lopes. A brooding atmosphere develops from the moment depressed old man Ricardo meets Carolina, a beguiling beauty in a black leather jacket. When these two strangers decide to exchange stories the true sadness of their lives is revealed, perfectly assisted by surprise shots of black humour and an unnerving feeling that something here is very wrong. Impeccably performed by respected veteran Jorge Mota and rising star Daniela Love, this black-and-white widescreen nightmare will creep up on you with a vengeance.
The Forest of Lost Souls is a unique horror film with assured direction and great performances. – Curt Oglesbee, Horror Geek Life
Fans of the art house horror genre…will find much to like in Lopes' feature film debut. – Andrew Mack, Screen Anarchy
Winner of Best Film (Panorama Fantastico), Bilbao Fantasy Film Festival 2017
Screens with: Behind
The 64th Sydney Film Festival – 7-18 June 2017
