The Forest of Love: Deep Cut2020
“Fate is harsh.”
Created by Sion Sono
The premise
Nothing's as it seems when a charismatic conman and an aspiring film crew delve into the lives of two emotionally scarred women.
Horror Vault's take
A silver-tongued conman weaves himself into the lives of a group of young filmmakers and two women carrying deep emotional wounds — with increasingly sinister results. This expanded miniseries cut of Sion Sono's provocative feature pushes further into the darkness lurking beneath ambition, desire, and trust. Equal parts crime thriller and psychological endurance test, it challenges viewers to question every character's motives from the very first scene.
