AKA Gary Kent

 

 (imdb)

THE FOREST-1983-A man and woman hiking in the woods are killed by someone toting a knife. After the credits, two arguing couples decide to go camping. The women go out first and the men follow later. They are all terrorized by some bo-hunk cannibal (Gary Kent using a pseudonym) who lives in a cave with his ghost children. His ghost wife wanders around too. In a silly flashback we see what happened to him and his family. 

Typical '80's low budget regional nonsense. Director/writer Don Jones also appears as a ranger. Low budget film veteran Gary Kent died in May 2023 at age 89. RIP...

More K-Horror

Wow! I've been busy doing "things" in the real world. But I have watched a lot of movies so here I go again!




DARK FOREST (OF DEATH)-2006-More horror craziness from South Korean. A mother tells her daughter about passing on a curse and then deliberately causes a car accident that kills the mother. A few years later the daughter and some friends go camping in the woods and encounter some evil spirits that kill most of campers and reanimates them to kill who's left alive.

Obviously inspired by THE EVIL DEAD this was the last installment of a series called "4 Horror Tales". It's very gory and drawn out. The finale where the last two survivors are terrorized seems to go on forever!
The director Jeong-min Kim uses split screen, freeze frames, fast cuts and some shots through a camcorder but basically it's still just the "campers getting killed by an unknown killer" premise done to death (no pun intended) by the end of the 1980's!
