Black Forest (2012)

Absolutely the worst movie.

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

This is a made for TV SyFy movie. A group of tourists are tricked into entering a realm filled with the characters from Grimm's fairy tales, with some slight modifications such as the seven dwarfs being cannibals. The film seems to be geared toward kids with some mild swearing. As they search for a missing infant, the stories take their toll.

I just saw this movie it was totally stupid and not worth watching at all . I thought the whole premise of the movie was laughable at best. A Bunch of people following some dude to stay at some place? Huh?? I should have turned it off then but NO i had to keep watching what happened..Next we find out they are some enchanted forest or something where this house and this lady who watches over the inn or something watches over it and the "forest" protects her. huh again?? What? I kept watching..There is more hooplah to the story and If you really think a bunch of random stories/fairy tells put together tickles your fancy i suppose this is the movie to watch for you but i thought all the "horror" was laughable at best. And the "silver axe" to escape haha what a joke.This whole movie was a joke and whoever wrote this must been drinking at the time....Save yourself about 2 hours of time and find something else to watch this one isn't worth it... That's all i gotta say..-Veteran Sci-fi reviewer/watcher over and OUT (Seen Everything from Star Trek/Wars, BSG, Warehouse 13, Dr. Who, Out Limits, and much more)

A group of tourists take a 'mid-summers eve tour' to the Black Forest of Germany to experience the night of the year when the line between our reality and the spirit one is at it's thinnest. Once there they are seemingly transported to a mischievous parallel fairy-tale world in this original Syfy film.What started off pretty well (term applied loosely as in 'pretty well for a Syfy original) soon became awash with mediocrity. The set up was interesting enough and the plot was intriguing, I liked the fractured fairy tale approach but somehow the film lost its footing as well as my interest. My Grade: C-

I admit I dislike most of SyFy's movies, and was not expecting much watching Black Forest. However, while it was not exactly a great movie, it was one of SyFy's better and more tolerable efforts.SyFy does deserve kudos for thinking up such a good and original concept, a real departure from the typical creature, disaster and fantasy films dreamt up that a vast majority of the time are badly done. I enjoyed some scenes, my favourite being the seven cannibal dwarfs attired like Tweedledum and Tweedledee, though the scenes with the spiders from Little Miss Muppet, the Troll Under the Bridge and the Witch and her Gingerbread house also stood out. The acting while nothing extraordinary was a notch above other SyFy efforts(where it feels phoned in or shockingly bad such as recently Annihilation Earth), with nobody toe-curlingly bad really. Ben Cross looks as though he is really enjoying himself as villain Cazmar. I also loved the production design, especially that for the forest which is rich in colour.However, some of the characters still annoyed me, by all means they are not as blatantly stereotypical as some of SyFy's other movies(in in disaster movies like Miami Magma or something like that) but there are at least three that struck me as too stupid to live sort of characters. Also, while the concept was great and there were some scenes that were memorable and surprisingly satisfying, the overall story at times has a very scatter-shot feel and there are some scenes that don't really make much sense. The dialogue is on the cheesy and lame side, and while the effects are miles above effects seen in Titanic II for example, I got the sense that a lot of work went into the production design but the lacking budget caused the effects to not have the quality they could've done.Overall, one of SyFy's better efforts but still flawed. 5/10 Bethany Cox
