Não Me Esqueça

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...

Now this was a pretty out of the Hollywood mold for teenage horror movies. It had everything you expect from a standard teenage horror movie.

The story isn't bad, don't get me wrong. In fact, the story was actually quite nice, and had a good constant flow to it, so you weren't left bored. Now, what makes the movie halt a bit is the predictability of every single scene. Everything here is by the Hollywood-book. You see everything coming a mile before it actually happens.

The acting in the movie was fairly good, though I am not really familiar with any of the cast. But still, they did a good job.

As for the apparitions, or whatever they are supposed to be, well they look pretty cool and move in a nice way as well. Now what ticked me off was whatever that was going on with their mouths. Every time I saw one of these apparitions I was laughing because of the mouth. So it was a bit hard to take them seriously.

Now, with the supernatural touch of the movie, this is a little bit more interesting than your average standard teenager horror movie. But it is dangerously close to being just another mediocre type.

Watch it if you like teenage horror movies, but don't expect to be scared out of your seat. There are some nice deaths and effects, but that is about the size of the fireworks.

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 decided to finally watch Forget Me Not today and I must say it was better than I expected.

I enjoy all types of horror movies and I have seen quite a bit in my life and this is something new to me.

I haven't seen this type of story used in any horror movies I have seen yet and I did enjoy the plot and the characters were played nicely.

I gave this a 6 because some of it was predictable as most horror movies are but all in all I liked this.

Not sure if purchase worthy but for sure a rent.

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.
