Last two nights I watched Spider Forest, a Korean-made (subbed), suspense/horror film.  It's probably more suspense then horror..although it opens with a fairly grisly murder scene and has quite a bit of creepiness to it.

Our protaginst, Kang Min, comes out of the forest to a cabin, where he discovers aa murdered man and his own murdered girlfriend.  Distraught, he stumbles away until to be hit by a truck on the road.  14 days later, he wakes up in a hospital bed, not sure of what he saw or how he got there.  The rest of the movie is a combination of flashbacks and current storyline as he attempts to recount what how he got to the cabin, why his irlfriend was there, and how it relates to both his dead wife and a ghost story surrounding  the "Spider Forest", and his own childhood.

The middle third drags a bit but the last third really picks up as the pieces start to fall together and you start wondering "just what *is* going on?"

A creepy and effective 'horror' story playing more on uncertainty and a good atmosphere than shocks, and does it pretty well.

Odd.  I've also seen a movie called "Spider Forest", which had the same plot.  Only it was German.

I'd hope I can tell the difference between white people and Asian people.  lol

I saw this a long time ago but I recall it had the same title and the same basic plot you described.  It wasn't anything special, just another Eurotrash "suspense" movie.

Well true :)  Just wasnt sure what you meant by "German"

I though this one was well, done, other than being a bit slow in the middle.  I can't dinf anything on IMDB that looks like evidence of a German version
