The struggles of a sisterly connection are put to the test in symbolic darkness during a massive, freakish power outage in director Patricia Rozema’s intimate, gripping and quietly thoughtful post-apocalyptic drama **Into the Forest**. Academy Award-nominees Ellen Page (“Juno”) and Rachel Evan Wood (“Thirteen”) are the cinematic siblings in Rozema’s (“Kit Kittredge: An American Girl”) meditative, tension-inducing tale about the futuristic flirtation with global panic and disillusionment when the world faces the possibility of a modern-day meltdown in technological dependency. In short, **Into the Forest** is a low-key character study touching upon not only the survival of the deteriorating societal elements but also the bond of sisterhood glued together by faith and fear under dour circumstances.

Rozema’s unassuming yet disciplined direction and thought-provoking script creates a low-toned “end-of-the-world” cynicism that psychologically works in her minimalist melodrama. Also, the film’s leads in Page and Evan Wood provide a heavy dose of believability as the periled sisters trapped in the unpredictable confines of the ominous and isolating Canadian woods out in the middle of nowhere as the worldwide woes of a collapsing powerless predicament threatens the global community. Rozema does an admirable job of establishing layers of disorientation on both a collectively worldly scale and smaller, personalized scale for its clingy siblings-in-distress. **Into the Forest** truly resonates when the audience is forced to realize the frightening footsteps of its sisterly protagonists facing the mental and emotional scrutiny of their jeopardized existences.

Convincingly atmospheric and contemplative, **Into the Forest** manages to be chilling without being over-exaggerated and cliched as one might anticipate in the routine doomsday dramas looking to exploit its nightmarish nuances. The film, as mentioned previously, is set in the near future where sisters Nell (Page) and Eva (Evan Wood) along with their father Robert (Callum Rennie) reside in an expansive house in the woods located in the Pacific Northwest. The narrative wastes no time setting the foundation for its percolating premise when the loss of electricity causes an obvious impact of the uncertainty–stranded out in the broad rustic boundaries without the immediate access to the daily and crucial amenities needed. Nell and Eva come to the realization that the power may not be restored at all. As a result, the starkness and disbelief elevates as the young women must confront the harsh realities as their supply of food and other necessities are diminishing day-by-day. Thus hopelessness, haplessness and helplessness start to rear its ugly head for the unsteadiness of Nell’s and Eva’s fragile sanity.

Rozema uses **Into the Forest** as an effective landscape for the self-examination of how civilization can easily unravel in a moment’s notice. The commentary is not lost on the complacency, indifference and arrogance of mankind taking for granted the gift of planetary conveniences–whether naturally conceived or technologically enhanced. Perhaps **Forest** is not as deep-seeded in traumatic forethought as one might expect but it certainly feels uplifting, genuine and insightful in its message of human despair predicated on a colossal whim of chaos and destruction. **Forest** is unflinching and reflective and clearly shows an edginess and eloquence that is not easily associated with the typical fear-the-unknown fables that are cranked out of Hollywood with bored redundancy. Thankfully, talented performers such as Page and Evan Wood are able to convey that sense of vulnerability that triggers a realistic concern to comply with the film’s haunting, creepy theme.

Canadian filmmaker Rozema is no stranger in presenting prickly and complex women in transition of a reactionary canvas of feminine growth and self-discovery. Previous Rozema-helmed film projects such as the aforementioned “Kit Kittredge: An American Girl” from 2008 and debuted feature “I’ve Heard the Mermaids Singing” (1987) demonstrate the similar traits that embodies the determined spirit and inner doubts and dilemmas of Forest’s harried heroines searching for comfort in the eye of threatening madness. Hence, Page and Evan Wood aptly carries the skillful angst and anxieties on their burdensome shoulders in Rozema’s resourceful character-driven showcase of a crumbling and catastrophic World Order.

Undoubtedly, **Into the Forest** marches into the wayward woods of darkness in what amounts to be a surreal, disastrous fairy tale tainted in psychological turmoil. Let’s say that the likes of Little Red Riding Hood have nothing on the exposed turbulence of **Forest’s** sisterly dystopian divas in Page’s Nell and Evan Wood’s Eva.

Great watch, would watch again, and can recommend.

Trigger Warning: sexual violence.

Ellen Page and Evan Rachel Wood carry most of this “mysterious dystopia” movie. I’m sure this story can be used as a parallel of what it is to be a woman in the modern world, but I see it as a survival story. The two aren’t necessarily exclusive to another.

The “last person on the planet” trope is good, but even just the idea of living off-grid is daunting enough to the average person without it being the only option.

It’s a sister story right alongside “Frozen” and “Kill La Kill” to me. The family togetherness is a good lesson woven into the story.

While I’d prefer zombies, they do a great job of showing the story, the character’s emotions and how they’re feeling about things at any time.

On the frustrating side of it: you get to see people make a lot of mistakes in surviving, which of course progresses the story bit by bit.

A good movie ruined by a horrible ending
If you are a fan of the apocalyptic survival genre you will enjoy the movie until the last 5 minutes. The ending is poorly conceived, totally unrealistic and flat out stupid.

Another vague apocalypse is upon us!
What is with all these supposedly apocalyptic movies where they do not attempt to explain what is going on? We get one here that features a blackout that makes things really quite inconvenient…I thought something would be revealed at the end, something that may have been creepy due to the font they used for the title of this one, but no, another movie where nothing was revealed and there is seemingly no point to the film other than teaching us that if you have no power, your house collapses fairly quickly.

The story has a power outage that makes a father and his two daughters feel a bit uneasy at first, but they manage to get into town so the older daughter can dance and the younger one can attend a party and they can get a few supplies. The father does not want to go into town again due to some rather rough looking characters being present, but the younger sister throws a fit making it seem like she is going to be the problem during this apocalypse. Well, the father dies by means of chainsaw leaving the two daughters to fend for themselves and the older daughter wants to use the gas to power up the house almost immediately, because she must dance! Seriously, this is the most mediocre apocalypse ever with the exception of the rape scene. Watching two sisters stumble along during the least threatening apocalypse ever!

So the film just has too many flaws as I watch a film like this to see real threats, not a sister want to dance and waste gas, a future house and a super old car, an easily avoidable death by chainsaw, a futuristic house that falls apart fairly quickly. Seriously, dad must have really put off getting a roof on that house for it to totally go kaput that quickly. The only disturbing scene was the rape scene which I could have done without. I would have preferred creepy monsters or something which the font made it seem like this movie would have.

So no, not a good movie and yet another unexplained apocalypse. The ending to this one was utter trash as the older sister wants to live in the woods. Great, you didn’t want to go hiking with the one guy, but living in a tree stump, that is a good idea. Though that tree stump magically was tougher than their house was! This movie really opened my eyes though, if one wants to dance, one will throw a fit until one gets their way despite the costs of doing so!
