Natalie Dormer has bee making a name for herself in TV and film in recent years and she tackles the horror genre this week with The Forest.
The Forest
Dormer takes on the dual role of twin sisters Sara and Jess Price in the horror film, which has opened in cinemas this morning.
The Forest is set to be one of the movies not to miss this weekend and we have a great new clip to whet your appetite. Check it out:
The Forest is the first time that we have seen Dormer on the big screen since the success of The Huger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2 at the end of last year.
She leads a terrific cast list as Taylor Kinney, Eoin Macken, Stephanie Vogt, and Yukiyoshi Ozawa are all also on board.
Rising with terrifying grandeur at the base of Mt. Fuji in Japan, the legendary real-life Aokigahara Forest is the suspense-filled setting of the supernatural thriller The Forest. An American woman, Sara (Dormer), journeys to the forest in search of her twin sister Jess (Dormer), who has mysteriously disappeared. Frustrated at Jess' pattern of behaviour, Sara's husband Rob (Macken) is unable to talk his wife out of making the 6,000-mile trip.
After a visit to the school where Jess teaches, the resourceful Sara sets out for the forest itself. Accompanied by a charismatic new acquaintance, expatriate journalist Aiden (Kinney), she enters the forest having been well warned 'do not leave the path.' Forest guide Michi (Ozawa) keeps a protective eye on them both, but when night falls he cannot dissuade them from staying in the forest, and reluctantly leaves the duo to face the elements alone.
Fear soon fragments Sara's consciousness; she begins to question Aiden's motives, including his claim that he has never seen Jess. Determined to discover the truth about her sister's fate, Sara will have to face the angry and tormented souls of the dead that prey on anyone who dares come near them. These malevolent spirits lying in wait for Sara at every turn will plunge her into a frightening darkness from which she must fight to save herself.
The Forest is out now.
