The camera work gives it a very intimate feel. The small cast also adds to feel. There is plenty of time given to character development. If you are willing to immerse yourself, Forest of Death is a highly engaging experience. Classic film techniques like the music-video-esque montage that bring a sense of nostalgia. At times you forget you're watching a horror film and that is the great subtlety of this movie. The underlying plot comes creeping back in to remind you to stay on your toes. You're not quite sure what's going to come from one scene to the next. The level of anticipation that should be a staple in horror films, not the cheesy over-used constant jump scare, but just enough to not let you forget what you got yourself into.
