Sara (Game of Thrones' Natalie Dormer) wants answers about the vanishing of her sister, but her determination could be her downfall in the eerie Aokigahara Forest. New photos and clips from Gramercy Pictures' The Forest offer a glimpse into the new horror film ahead of its January 8th theatrical release.

"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.

Starring Natalie Dormer (“Game of Thrones” and “The Hunger Games”), Taylor Kinney (“Chicago Fire”), Eoin Macken (“The Night Shift”), and Yukiyoshi Ozawa, director Jason Zada’s THE FOREST hits theaters nationwide from Gramercy Pictures on January 8th."
