Synopsis
Suicide Forest Village (Jukai Mura, 2021) is a Japanese horror film you can watch online on iFILM. Director Takashi Shimizu, the mind behind Ju-On, returns to folk dread when a sealed box turns up in a quiet town and a curse starts crawling from one household to the next.
The trail leads to Jukai, the real forest at the foot of Mount Fuji long tied to people who walk in and never walk out. Anna Yamada plays a young woman who follows the curse to its root because it has reached her own family. The deeper she goes, the clearer it becomes that the woods remember, and they do not let go.
Shimizu works in silence and small wrong details instead of cheap jump scares. This is the second chapter of his village horror trilogy, after Howling Village, and it rewards patient fans of slow J-horror built on old superstition. Stream Suicide Forest Village (2021) online on iFILM.
