Anyone raised when the VCR became a common household item and VHS was still king is sure to remember those long walks down the seemingly endless aisles of the local mom and pop video store – those clunky, oversized plastic treasures beckoning to be rented, taken home, and enjoyed in the comfort of one’s own living room. The striking artwork on a number of those clamshell cases was so luridly vivid that it seemed to dare the indecisive movie lover to pass it by, such was the case with the cover of Don Jones killer-in-the-woods frightener The Forest – the image of two crazed eyes peering wildly from behind prickly branches and hand firmly clutching hunting knife hinting at horrors that might make the average viewer give up camping for the foreseeable future. Now Code Red and BCI have teamed to bring this seldom seen tale of terror and cannibalism to DVD for the enjoyment of a whole new generation of retro loving horror hounds. The 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen image certainly bears signs of wear and tear, though film looks decent for not having been digitally restored and the Dolby Digital Stereo soundtrack is clean and well-balanced. Cinema completists and fans of obscure slasher flicks will no-doubt be happy to hear that this release of The Forest offers not just one (as the packaging suggests) but two commentary tracks for the film. The first commentary track, featuring director Jones and star Gary Kent, sounds like it was captured on a tape recorder as the pair watched the film in an actual movie theater and touches on a number of interesting details regarding the production. The second track finds genre writer Greg Goodsell moderating a relaxed commentary track featuring director Jones and cinematographer Stewart Asbjornsen. The latter of the two may be a bit more technical in nature, but still makes for a fairly lively and entertaining listen. As if two commentary tracks weren’t enough, {@Code Red} has also seen fit to include a satisfying, thirteen-minute featurette featuring extensive on-camera interviews with Jones, Asbjornsen, and Kent. Among other things, the featurette finds director Jones revealing why he sees The Forest as more of a psychological shocker than a slasher film and discussing a botched early screening for a potential distributor. A photo gallery offers glimpses at some old VHS covers, production stills, and candid shots, and a promo trailer for the film gives viewers an idea of what kind of rural mayhem to expect in the flick. Trailer hounds will be happy to note the inclusion of seven Code Red previews including promo spots for Schoolgirls in Chains, Devil Times Five, and Secrets of Sweet Sixteen among others.
