The Forbidden Girl

I personally found this movie to be boring and very predictable. It comes off as being very amateur in most every respect possible. The movie is full of Very bad visual effects (blue filters for night scenes and what looks like a pencil drawn sky) , predictable plot lines, and very embarrassing acting make this movie not worth watching. I wouldn't recommend this movie unless you are very bored or need something to be put on the background while you work.

There are some subtle nude scenes (breasts and underwear), no swearing, very little gore and some poor attempts at "creepy"

It is asking me for 10 lines and there is not that much more I can really say about this movie.

I really enjoyed this film and am amazed at its poor reviews and rating on IMDb. I think over time its rating will go up and maybe it will even achieve cult film status, I think it deserves it.

For those wanting a straight horror/mystery film with a final scene that wraps up all the loose story lines then you need to go elsewhere to one of the more predictable Hollywood horror films of the moment. This film is far more reminiscent of the Italian and English horror films of the 1960's and 70's, more about the atmosphere and the visuals than following a coherent story line. The cinematography is glorious and the locations and the sets look stunning. Others have complained about the 'blue' night scenes being amateurish, I think this was the intention of the director, to make it look more stylised than a regular night shot, think Dario Argento's 'Deep Red'.

The acting is fine from unknown actors; Jytte-Merle Böhrnsen is captivating as the Forbidden Girl whilst Klaus Tange plays a wonderful 1960's style baddie with blond Nazi hair.

So if you love the atmospheric horror films of the 1960s and 70's then you'll love this, go on, give it a try.

The story if you can call it a story, no you can't call it a story. Things happen, words are spoken, more things happen but there is not really a story. It may need to be watched several times to sort out just what is happening. I think that the visuals are happening so fast yet the story doesn't progress very quickly. This is what causes so much confusion when watching it. You're constantly looking for a point of reference but it's away with the fairies the whole time. Things don't really connect very well, like the director wasn't really sure what the story was supposed to be. You're left to try and piece together what you're seeing, into something vaguely coherent. It's kind of annoying if you get caught up in needing to know what is going on. Ultimately I think we are seeing the confusion that the lead male is experiencing as the events of the film go on around him. See that's what this is like. It's a wonderful world of what's going on the whole time. I'm not sure it makes for a good movie in the end but it's interesting to watch.

The photography and scenery were good. The special effects were decent.

If you don't try to make any sense out of it and just go along for the ride it's not bad. It's not a drag, something is always happening. I can see why some didn't like it; who knows, maybe the writer did have some symbolic meanings in there that only he knew about.

This movie was really an uphill battle to sit through, especially because it was unbelievably slow paced and uneventful. I had to split this movie up over two days, because I literally fell asleep after the first 30 minutes of watching it, and then I decided to give the movie a second chance the next day. Picking up from where I fell asleep, but I quickly within another 15 minutes or so had to turn it off and find something else to watch.

Yeah, this movie is just that dull and mind-numbing.

The story is uneventful and rather mundane to say the least. And as such, then it was very hard to invest yourself into the movie or buy into it. And having this slow pace in a movie is a test for anyone watching it. I succumbed to it and just gave up.

The acting was adequate. And I can't claim to have seen anyone in the movie elsewhere, so it was actually nice to see a whole new ensemble of people in a movie. Just a shame that the movie killed itself off with its downright sheer boredom.

"The Forbidden Girl" wasn't my cup of tea, to say the least. And I can honestly say that I will never attempt to finish it - it just lacks anything that even resembles any kind of appeal.
