The Forest

Running time: 88 mins

Animal instinct takes over in this lush, exotic thriller.

When man encroaches too far upon nature, nature answers with a deadly snarl in this beautifully photographed thriller from Oscar-nominated director Ashvin Kumar (Little Terrorist, Cinequest 2004).

A human tale of transgression and forgiveness unfolds amid a jungle backdrop when a couple spending a weekend in the Indian jungle experience lust, betrayal, and revenge; a love triangle evolves and the sins of the past cry out for retribution. While the tension escalates within their cabin, a wounded and starving leopard awaits in the shadows, faster and more cunning than they realize. The suspenseful human drama builds to climax as the fear, and reality, of the leopard?s siege begins to close upon them. Nerves are stretched taut and the lines between man and wild blur as questions about the nature of civilization are evoked.
