‘The Forest’ Can Be As Bizarre As it is Terrifying
I’d say that roughly 99% of the time, The Forest is a terrifying game. You’re alone on an unfamiliar island that’s brimming with cannibal tribes people — and assorted Silent Hill-esque creatures — leaving it up to you to survive. Creativity, strategy, and resourcefulness are all required in order to survive. But as horrific as its world is, the fact that it’s still very much a work in progress means there are all sorts of hilarious bugs you’ll likely come across.
I’ve gone through the archive of screenshots taken from the community. These aren’t official, but they’re all great in different ways. Enjoy.
And finally, a screen no one wants to see…

We have an exclusive first look at A Man in the Woods With an Axe, a blood-soaked, genre-twisting homage to 1980s slasher films.
Spanning four decades, A Man in the Woods With an Axe begins in the summer of 1987 before pushing into the modern era, weaving together timelines and perspectives in a way that builds both dread and intrigue.
Drawing inspiration from genre standouts like Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, Hatchet, and The Cabin in the Woods, the film blends visceral horror with moments of dark humor, creating a uniquely balanced experience that honors tradition while carving its own identity.
Writer-director Dillon Brown (Primal Darkness) aims to deliver everything fans crave from a slasher while boldly subverting expectations with a mid-film twist that redefines the story.
“This is an unapologetic love letter to the films that made me fall in love with horror,” Brown tells Bloody Disgusting. “But I didn’t just want to recreate that feeling; I wanted to challenge it. About halfway through, the film takes a turn that completely changes how you view not only this story, but the genre itself.”
Brown describes the vintage-inspired production as “far and away the bloodiest film I’ve ever made,” with practical effects helmed by Cody Ruch (The Mill, Pig Hill), an instructor at Tom Savini’s Special Make-Up Effects Program.
From Horror Dadz Productions, A Man in the Woods With an Axe is currently in production and targeting an early 2027 release.
