The Forest of Love2019
“Is it love or is it a lie?”
Directed by Sion Sono
The premise
A con man and a would-be filmmaking crew force themselves into the lives of two grief-scarred young women. But nothing is as it seems.
Horror Vault's take
Inspired by a real criminal case, Sion Sono's fever-dream plunges viewers into the orbit of a magnetic, dangerous con man who ensnares a group of aspiring filmmakers and two emotionally wounded young women. What begins as an uneasy collaboration curdles into something far darker as boundaries of reality, fiction, and morality dissolve. Sono stages the descent with visceral intensity, blending lurid excess with genuine psychological dread. This is not a film that lets you look away easily — or forget what you've seen.
