* OvershadowedByControversy: While the movie is simply [[SoOkayItsAverage bland and rather forgettable]], it will always live with the stigma of having tried to capitalize on Aokigahara around a time where that had become an ''incredibly'' sore topic due to Logan Paul's infamous video filmed in the forest. The fact that the main cast is primarily Caucasian despite the Asian subject matter and the fact that the movie was based on the filmmakers having ''[[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer read the Wikipedia article on Aokigahara]]'' doesn't help this movie ''at all.''
