Film Review- The Forest Hills

This is not your everyday horror movie. Felissa Rose and Dee Wallace also appear in the film. They are two legends. Rico attends this group therapy, and he shares his story. He is vlogging, being mindful, making memories, and trying to be happy. He shares these traumatic stories, and how he sees himself. He sees himself as a werewolf. We all seek some kind of peace in life. Whether it’s going for a walk, going to the gym, writing, journaling, cooking. People do so many different things.

The story is meaningful. It was beautifully told. Dee Wallace portrays Angela, maybe Rico should have asked her some werewolf advice?! Rico struggles, and goes through jobs. He winds up in hiding. The cast is awesome.

The Forest Hills stars Edward Furlong, Shelley Duvall, Dee Wallace, Felissa Rose, Stacey Nelkin, Marianna Hagan, Marc Summers, Robert Leckington, Chiko Mendez, Jamie Marsh, Laurie Hamfeldt Mahoney, Jeff McCarthy, Elliot Leigh Wood, Vincent Ticali, Brian Michael Finn, J.B. Yowell, Linda Flores, Tammy Mattox, Jennifer Pearl, Elliott Dreznick, Raffaello Perfetto, Alethea Maguire, Sondra Wymar, Nick Graystone, Tom Moynahan, Andrew Gordon, Wes Lee, Anita Durst, Sherrie Renea Lewis, Helen Proimos, Caitlyn Classey, Ariel Elizabeth Acosta, Jeremy Rushkoski, Mark Thomas McKenna, Hank Dreznick, Jesse-Lee Lafferty, Doug Williams, and Rachel Dreznick.

Rico’s sister Emily is so worried about him. She sends people to check on him. We also meet Lou (Wes Lee), he is sort of a bodyguard type of dude. He is watching out for Emily. Could we take a moment to talk about the dishwasher Eddie who is working for Angela (Dee Wallace). Is it an homage? Okay, let us take a moment, Dee Wallace starred in The Howling (1981). It was directed by Joe Dante, and Dee Wallace portrayed Karen White, and the serial killer/werewolf who was after her was Eddie portrayed by Robert Picardo. If you have not seen The Howling (1981), go watch it after you watch The Forest Hills movie.
