*****Spoiler warnings*****To me the spirits of the forest needs an occasional soul…. Lennon found a missing person thus she took a soul from the forest and that’s why the rangers were upset at her..she upset the balance. Because she took from the forest the forest took her as a trade.
I totally understand and agree with you. A few things I wish they cleared up just a little tiny bit more was maybe a few more clues to lead us to a certain lore that could explain the woods... just like one or two more clues that guide us one way bc it's so open for interpretation it's too vague for me I just need slightly more clarification not too much !! Just enOugh. I truly thought it was a job well done and its on my mind since I watched it last week
So I have the opposite opinion I guess I thought the second half was much more interesting than the first; however, I will admit I'm a suckered for action and sci-fi horror mostly. I simply didn't find it interesting enough to give it undivided attention at first but upon the second half I could. On the other hand based on your description at the end we may have opposing tastes. I find a lot of A24 releases overhyped and overrated (especially Hereditary and Sainte Maude), with few exceptions (Green Room, Ghost Story). I find my issue with this film is the same as my issues with Hereditary; the pacing is too slow and I never develop any emotional resonance towards the characters.
Didnt enjoy the ending all that much i thought she was going to save her sis but ended up just becoming like the rest of the ranger's before her like she achieved nothing but saved herself ?
the movie was trash great acting great actors sure but the lack of hard driving suspense and really just a ooh thats creepy visual bs it held nothing but just well as it said in the trailer "dizzying" really not something i want in a film consumed only shows a few seconds of the wendigo but it builds so well to it this movie was just drawn out and boring

Liked it overall. Different.
Maybe an American take on the Japanese suicide forest with more otherworldly vibe.
Enjoyed the ending too. Nice pivot.
