I enjoyed this movie

The slasher people won't like it, the jiggly bimbo people won't like it, but the psychological horror people will probably enjoy it.

It is a rather slow-moving film, not a lot of yacking, and you have to pay attention to impressions because they're doling out facts with an eye-dropper.

The protagonists, though, are sympathetic, and the acting is good, and there are some genuine chills along the way, especially toward the climax.

I admit, I'm still chewing on the ending to make sense of it, but still recommend.

A haunting tale

If you want a gory slasher then this isn't for you. If however, you like a traditional unsettling ghost story then this is for you. The acting is superb, each character draws you in to the plot. You actually give a damn about each and every person involved. There's no annoying, spoiled teenagers or jock type males, just ordinary folk. The pace is such that it builds suspense and tension. The use of music is subtle and unobtrusive. There's no annoying or overly dramatic screaming or shouting, over use of unnecessary violence or terribly executed gore. I genuinely can't think of another modern day story of phantasms told in such a perfect way. Had me on the edge of my seat from beginning to end.

Utter trash

There is zero atmosphere to this so called suspense horror the performances are lack lustre at best, the tilt is laughable because there is absolutely nothing to be afraid of! 96 minutes of my life I wasted and will never get back, domt do it to yourself

A Decent British Thriller

Well......this was a well written story with a great twist towards the end n a brilliant plot. There was some quite tense n suspenseful moments throughout the movie.

The acting was superb n the characters were full of charisma.

The ending was totally unexpected n unpredictable with a good twist.

I recommend this movie especially if you like suspense n high drama.

Ends up just sleepwalking

Uneventful. 'The Forgotten' is a rather dull horror flick.

It builds a little bit of tension in parts, but ends up just sleepwalking to a crescendo which concludes before it even gets going; which leads to a somewhat abrupt finish. Elarica Gallacher and Clem Tibber do give solid enough performances, I will say that.
