Crazy_Gibberish For those of you seeking to view the entirety of the IMDb "Bottom 100", get a head start on a future contender with "The Singing Forest". It's on Netflix Instant and it's a howler. Oh man, is this ever a doozy. I warned of spoilers, and I don't think this film can be "reviewed" in any conventional sense though many linked on Metacritic have tried. It's basically 70 minutes of Super 8 footage about a middle-aged homosexual who had an affair with his daughter's fiancé in a past life. This past life involved one of them as an SS Officer and the other as a Jewish prisoner in a Nazi concentration camp. Yes. The older one makes a number of sexual overtures toward the fiancé until he gives in to the "truth" of their situation and they sleep together. I kid you not, and it's every bit as laughably absurd as it sounds. Grab some Bad Movie Night friends and crowd around this instant camp classic.

carlfilmbuff Despite all the negative reviews, I rented this title several months ago. I don't agree with most. I thought the premise was, yes controversial, but intriguing. I thought the girlfriend was an imaginary character. Try studying this and you'll notice what I;m saying. Its as if the girlfriend never existed. Both men, when the Destiny is present, conduct their conversations interactions as if they were by themselves. Then toward the end the psychic says that there once was a soul who reunited both men. I thought that was in reference to Destiny. But I'm not sure. Maybe I'm reading a lot more into this... maybe not. I do agree with most. It is very creative and original.

jltjwv I had fun reading the varied comments here, about "The Singing Forest". I thought the film had an interesting story idea, but it was not developed in the movie, at all. I agree with most all the negative comments about the directing, lousy sound, poor lighting, no action, etc. But, worst of all, our intelligence was insulted by an ignorant script which completely failed to deal with the basic story idea. It was so contrived that it should be named "The Groaning Forest". The actors did the best that could be expected with such a miserable script. I'm giving my copy to the local gay rights organization, with a warning "See it with friends who can make bad jokes about this taaackkkky flick, then you may get some chuckles."

J.T. Steele "The Singing Forest" is about two lover's from the 1930's Poland that were both executed during the war under Hitler and re-incarnated in the present day. The subject matter is very thought provoking and interesting to me. I tend to like paranormal stories. I thought the concept of two lost souls being reunited by "Destiny" was inventive. I like the film as a whole and, as an independent production with a low budget, it was put together well. I would love to see this film remade with a bigger budget. As far as, Jorge Amir, He did a great job with direction and camera but had a bit of trouble with the sound. In the scene at the ocean, the waves completely made the dialogue inaudible, Note to directors: Always mic your actors near water, airports and roadways.I give this a 6 stars out of 10. I look forward to future endeavors from Mr. Amir.
