Focus Features is looking to start 2016 off with a bang. On January 8th, the company will be unleashing THE FOREST on theaters across the nation. You know, the one that takes place in “The Suicide Forest” and looks creepy AF. We’ve been keeping you guys up to date with the latest happenings for several weeks, but now we have something to share that takes the excitement to a whole other level. Seriously… this might be the coolest giveaway that the genre has ever seen.

Starting now, at this very second, you can enter yourself into a drawing to send you and a friend to JAPAN (where THE FOREST takes place). It includes round trip airfare, four consecutive nights’ hotel accommodations, and R/T ground transfers between Tokyo airport and Hotel. This is a big deal, and it’s super easy to enter. You can do any of the following to get yourself entered:

  1. Follow @TheForestIsReal on Instagram AND Re-post the contest image found on their account. That’ll get you ONE entry to win.
  2. Follow @TheForestIsReal on Twitter AND Re-tweet the contest image found on their account. If you do Instagram AND Twitter – you get TWO entries.
*Note –  all posts and tweets must be made public in order for entry in the Sweepstakes to take place and be eligible for the random drawing detailed below. THERE IS A LIMIT OF TWO (2) ENTRIES PER PERSON REGARDLESS OF THE METHODS OF ENTRY.

That’s it – we’ll go ahead and make it easy for you by embedding the relevant Tweet and Instagram posts right here:

Rising with terrifying grandeur at the base of Mt. Fuji in Japan, the legendary real-life Aokigahara Forest is the suspense-filled setting of the supernatural thriller. A young American woman, Sara (Natalie Dormer of “Game of Thrones” and “The Hunger Games”), journeys there in search of her twin sister, who has mysteriously disappeared. In the company of expatriate Aiden (Taylor Kinney of “Chicago Fire”), Sara enters the forest having been well warned to “stay on the path.” Determined to discover the truth about her sister’s fate, Sara will have to face the angry and tormented souls of the dead that prey on anyone who dares come near them. These malevolent spirits lying in wait for Sara at every turn will plunge her into a frightening darkness from which she must fight to save herself.
