An indescribably dull horror film with an interesting narrative structure, which unfortunately achieves little with director Stephen Cognetti's lackluster approach. Its roots lie primarily in found footage, where his lack of budget could have been more easily disguised. While those films still possessed some sense of a stable suspense arc, 825 Forest Road prioritizes drama, which is executed anything but well. Clichéd approaches are conveyed by insipid performances, with a few rare moments of horror featuring far-too-visible ghosts. It's difficult to consistently hold your attention to this monstrosity, which only manages to score some bonus points through its unique approach and a handful of atmospheric moments.

After a tragedy, a family buys a house in Ashland Falls at a bargain price, hoping to make a fresh start. However, the house has a history, and soon the family is haunted by all sorts of ghostly happenings, which could be linked to a certain Helen Foster (Diomira Keane) and a search for Forest Road. Cognetti relies on a narrative, and showing the same events from different perspectives is pointless. However, Cognetti does at least regularly manage to evoke a sense of unease, including by using a mannequin.
