The Forest has had one hell of a marketing flurry leading up to its release in January.  Now, Focus Features is inviting you to actually Enter The Suicide Forest.  They have created an immersive experience for mobile and Google Cardboard that will put you right in the middle of Aokigahara forest.  Some of the Google Cardboard experiences I have had in the past have been really impressive, and this one is no different. The coolest thing is that it doesn’t actually require a VR headset to work. You can launch it in your mobile web browser right here and get (mostly) the same experience. Go ahead,  check it out: http://thesuicideforest.com and get yourself pumped to see The Forest on January 8th!

If the same amount of effort went into the film as it did the promotion – this should be an amazing way for horror to kick off 2016.

From The Press Release

Enter the Suicide Forest is an immersive 360 degree sight and sound experience that takes fans right into the heart of Aokigahara, the terrifying real life suicide forest located at the base of Mt. Fuji in Japan. The experience uses real images taken at Aokigahara.

Find your friend, trace her path…but leave the forest before it takes you.
