Alunauwie
Suicide Forest Village begins with a gripping mystery rooted in Aokigahara’s dark reputation, but its strong premise weakens as thin character development and inconsistent emotional reactions dilute the tension. Although the film builds intrigue through a cursed box and ends with a satisfying reveal tied to its opening, it never fully explores the psychological depth that its theme demands. Technically polished yet emotionally shallow, it stands as a cautionary tale about how curiosity can lead us into dangers we were never meant to uncover.
