The premise
The Forest of the Lost Souls is a dense and remote forest, Portugal's most popular place for suicide. In a summer morning, two strangers meet within the woods.
Horror Vault's take
Deep within a remote Portuguese forest infamous as a destination for those seeking their final rest, two strangers cross paths on a quiet summer morning — a meeting that will prove far more dangerous than either could anticipate. Shot in stark black and white, this slow-burn Portuguese horror uses its harrowing setting to build an atmosphere of creeping dread and psychological unease. What begins as an intimate character study gradually reveals a far darker and more sinister design lurking beneath the tree canopy.
