Reviews
“What supposedly wants to be a media and, above all, a TV criticism is, with all the love, nothing more than a mediocre thriller that is clearly modeled on models like Blair Witch Project (as in the video recordings at the beginning of the film) or The Ring (the evil that spreads through modern media) squinted without ever reaching their class and above all tension. Filmed with a visibly small budget, it is above all the young actors who work in vain on the transparent and sometimes outrageous script. "
“Of the four main actors who determine the film, none of them stand out and none of them fall apart, they all strive equally and unsuccessfully in the fight against the surprise-free and uninspired-looking script with flat dialogues of the sort, 'Will the girls not be mad if we do that Turn on the TV? ' - Man, it's the Bundesliga today! "[…] So good and honest and therefore far too uninteresting and unattractive for the actual target group, 'Black Forest' comes from the fact that you could honestly have done without the pseudo-cool English title, in order to make it clear from the start what we are dealing with here: namely, with the good old German Black Forest. And it is only good for shuddering in moderation. "
“Badly written, awkwardly played horror film that refers to countless role models without finding its own line. The consequences of uncontrolled media consumption and the interaction between reality and deception are merely sketched out or blatantly asserted. "
