The Forest


So as I was watching this trailer one of my neighbours decided it would be a great idea to use a chainsaw. Freaked me right out!

Anyway the trailer looks freaky. It has a twin connection which I'll never understand but it's nice to see in movies. We follow Sara (Natalie Dorma) who's twin has gone missing in Aokigahara Forest. It's rumoured that this place is where people go to commit suicide. Sidebar my research has confirmed this actually happens in real life, resulting in the forest having signs urging those to call suicide prevention hotlines and to think of there families.

Sara travels to Japan in order to find her sister, she needs a guide but the locals won't go into the forest. Taylor Kinney's character seems to come to the rescue and gets Sara a guide. She makes her way into the forest, even though she is warned that spirits cannot rest there.

They travel with there guide who also warns Sara to stay on the path, she then finds her sisters tent and starts screaming Jess, don't wake up the dead woman! Anyway she's also warned by the guide to leave and not stay the night, she refuses to do so.

So as she sleeps alone in a tent she starts to hear noises, including a voice saying Sara. At night bad things happen in this forest, the dead seem to rise and start to mentally torture the living. Will she make it out alive?

Now I'm going into possible SPOILER territory as I'm going to try and give my theory on what will happen in this movie before I see it.

OK so what I think is going to happen is Sara will make it back alive, just. Everyone else will die by killing themselves due to torment from the demons. Even the ones who play it safe and stay on the path. Maybe the forest lured her there to begin with and her twin is completely fine but that's a big push. I think it's going to explain the reason for there being so many suicides is that it will be some demon/vengeful spirit causing all this chaos and Sara will defeat it. In some way, with the power of the twin connection.

Now I'm probably so off but I thought I'd take a wee risk. What do you think? Answers on a postcard. Check out the trailer below.

Daredevil Season 2 Trailer

SPOILERS, as always for those who haven't watched season one.  So everyone's favorite Blind(ish) Superhero is back in a new trailer. Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) is feeling guilty, maybe for the death of Ben Urich (Vondie Curtis-Hall) last season, maybe for something completely different. Father Lantom (Peter McRobbie) tells Matt that guilt can be a good, although Karen (Deborah Ann Woll) and Foggy (Elden Henson) also look plenty guilty in this teaser trailer. We then see a bunch of clips including Claire Temple (Rosario Dawson) in her nurse scrubs, and Elektra (Elodie Yung) getting her mask on, all while hearing a voice over from Father Lantom who indicates that it may be because Matt's work as Daredevil is not yet finished. We then see Karen Page holding a Punisher skull on a x-ray and looking pretty freaked out by it. Then comes what I am most looking forward to, Frank Castle (Jon Bernthal) is here, in a hospital (watch out Claire) and looking pretty bad ass if I do...

Mental Illness in TV and Film - Frozen

I did say last week that I was taken time off to grieve but after watching Frozen at the weekend I couldn't help but look at it from a Mental Illness perspective. I took this as a sign that I was ready to continue writing this series. Is Elsa a metaphor for Anxiety? The disorder that keeps me up at night seems to be prevalent in this film, even Grand Pabbie says it to a young Elsa at the start of the film, "Fear will be your enemy," and we see Elsa lash out at her coronation celebration. The fear she has inside her makes Elsa's powers go haywire, she fears her secret will be revealed to others around her, just as I feel people will find out I have anxiety just by being around me. But fear is not the solution, it ends up hurting the people Elsa loves the most, as she lashes out and pushes them away. She becomes so scared of hurting others that she ends up hurting them. Then when her powers get out of control she runs away and hides inside her own Ice Palac...
