The forest scenes were filmed in Purgatory Chasm, a Massachusetts state reservation. Interestingly, while stumbling through the woods, the Ken Watanabe character says to the Matthew McConaughey character, "You are in purgatory".
Aokigahara Forest near Mount Fuji in Japan, otherwise known as the "suicide forest" sees an average of 3 suicides a week. It is also said to be haunted by multiple "Yurei" - Japanese ghosts who are angry at their own deaths. This premise was previously explored in the short film Shawn4Ever (2012).
This was the first film in the 68th edition of the Cannes film festival to be booed by the audience.
Part of this movie was filmed in Ashland, Massachusetts
The screenplay for this film was featured in the 2013 Blacklist; a list of the "most liked" unmade scripts of the year.
"Takumi Nakamura: You must know, this forest is very powerful."
"Takumi Nakamura: [a loud howling sound is heard throughout the forest and Arthur yells if anyone is there] There is no one. Arthur Brennan: Then what was that? Takumi Nakamura: Tamashii. Arthur Brennan: What's tamashii? Takumi Nakamura: Tamashii are spirits. They are souls wandering these woods, until it is their time. Things are not what they seem here. Arthur Brennan: It was probably just an animal. Takumi Nakamura: There are very few animals in Aokigahara. Arthur Brennan: Well, then it was one of the few. Takumi Nakamura: This place is what you call purgatory."
