Forest of Death (2023) Review – A Formulaic and Dull Tubi Cash-Grab
Brendan Rudnicki delivers another “horror by numbers” entry with Forest of Death. From unlikable characters to suspicious reviews, is this Tubi’s worst?
Horror on Tubi
I’m a sucker for punishment. With that in mind, this section is dedicated to ultra low budget horror movies free on Tubi.tv. Now we all know there is a lot of great horror on Tubi. That is not what this section is about. That would be too easy. This section is purely dedicated to reviews of the movies that nobody seems to talk about.
The rules here are simple. I don’t read reviews, I don’t read suggestions, I don’t read anything about the movie. I simply check out the synopsis and watch before bringing you my unfiltered opinion. Expect a ton of bad movies and maybe even a few good ones. This feature was originally intended for June of 2023 but I will probably keep adding to it indefinitely.
