Forget Me Not - Vergessen ist todlich

Yeah I enjoyed this horror movie. Good acting and kept me on edge. But did not see the connection with the young girls nose bleed and two of tombstone with Ford and dodge. American car companies. What was that all about baffles me. Jacey out. Rock on.

I saw the rating on this and wasn't sure I should bother, but I went ahead and watched it and I'm glad I did. The plot is interesting. I'm happy to see that there are some original ideas out there yet for horror, and it isn't all remakes. The acting wasn't bad, I really enjoyed the plot, and the effects of the creatures in it were awesome. I actually yelled once out of fear, and that rarely happens. Pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed the film, having never heard of it or heard about it. It's not the greatest horror movie of all time or anything, but it's worth a watch as long as your expectations aren't too high.

The movie was pretty good for it's genre and for me especially had some new ideas, not overused in other ghost story films.

There's not much gore or violence, but it keeps the suspense throughout the whole time.

I give it a 6/10 because there were certain things that I didn't like:

1. The first 15 minutes were a waste of time - I didn't find any of the characters likable (except maybe the brother) - and for me this whole drinking/f***ing added nothing to the story 2. Some of the dialogue was pretty out of place and felt like forced onto the characters, just to fill in running time

That being said - give it a try. It's fresh and if you're not looking for something worth an Oscar - you will like it.

Also, the ending is satisfying, not like in most horror movies these days.

First of all, when I first watched the trailer of the movie I didn't really liked it and I didn't had high expectations about that movie. Eventually, I decided to watch it and it wasn't really bad.. The plot of the movie was interesting and mysterious, but not really innovative because there are too many teen horror movies similar to this one. The storyline was kinda well-written and well-explained, however it was very simple and easy to understand. The characters were kinda interesting and well-developed, but most of them were so dislikable. The casting was just fine and their acting was descent. Also, it wasn't a scary movie and there weren't any jumpscares. The killcount of the movie wasn't bloody and most kills were done off-screen, however it was kinda brutal and each death scene was very well portrayed. Sadly, the first 20 minutes of the movie was probably the most boring and uninteresting part. However, the 2nd and 3rd act were both very intense, action-filled and full of death scenes. Overall, "Forget Me Not" was an enjoyable low budget horror movie and full of death scenes, but I wouldn't recommend it to my friends...

Forget me not is an interesting attempt at making film that mixes traditional teenage American horror with a ghost story influenced by recent Asian cinema. You get a cast of teenage characters not unlike what you could find in a Final Destination sequel, mixed with a ghostly threat not unlike what you could find in a Grudge/Ring spin off.

The plot development pertaining to the Ghost is actually well done, and the flashbacks featuring our teenager crew when they were younger are interesting, in fact more so than they are in the present.

Unfortunately, what really kills this movie is crappy direction. There's really no attention to details, the actors (far from A-list) were obviously not guided very well either. Early in the movie, we see a girl throwing a necklace in a lake, moments later, she is seen clearly wearing it in a crappy edit that lasts but 2 seconds but leaves you wondering how stuff like this could be missed. From that point in the movie, you have to accept you're going to kill time watching an uninspired direct-to-video or turn it off.

I went with it and must say the basic premise and general plot could have made for an interesting movie. I don't regret watching this. I only regret seeing lots of high ratings by horror fans. As long as horror fans will be undemanding and accept to be short changed, producers will cut corners and deliver films which, like this one, needed a lot more work before being released.

In the end, do not expect much scares from this. But if you are a horror fan and want to see a mix of Asian and American horror, then maybe director Tyler Oliver's botched film will be enjoyable.
