Apparently there's a new movie coming out in the US called "The Forest", which is a supernatural horror movie about Aokigahara, the 'suicide forest' near Mt Fuji. It stars Natalie Dormer, who was in Game of Thrones ("look, pie!").

On one hand, I'm kind of down on movies that exploit Japanese culture, and that they'll likely get a bunch of stuff wrong as movies like this inevitably do. But then again, Natalie Dormer. (Yum)

Interesting... mixed feelings on it, I guess.
 
I got very interested until I my mind snapped back into place at the horror word......as I was thinking of a different yet close sounding word.....

How is this movie different from the Ken Watanabe movie from 2015?

I guess you are referring to The Sea of Trees, which is a Gus Van Sant movie. Not a horror movie from the looks of it.
