Good idea lost in the noise
After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
I've rarely seen a bad movie like this one. The name Horrormovie did not deserve this work. Lost time. If you live forever, you should do better things in this time..
A viewer should not spend his time watching a film rated 2.1 in IMDb. Time is irreversible and once lost, cannot be retrieved. However I decided to give a chance and see "Forsaken" to check whether it would be so bad. The film has just ended and it is worse than its rating. I have no idea what the senseless story of exorcism is about and what are the motives of Paul, his wife, his daughter, her friends, the doctor and the locals. Therefore I am incapable to write a plot summary since the story is not possible to be understood. In addition, characters come and go, thrown on the screen without any previous development. The lead character, Paul, is a complete mess and it is impossible to know what he is doing in the film. The conclusion (is there a conclusion?) is a joke so terrible it is. My vote is one (awful).Title (Brazil): Fortunately it is not available.
I watched this film because I love horror flicks, and I hoped for a good one, boy was I disappointed.The effects was decent, I was scared a couple of times, and the acting of the main character wasn't too bad, but that was it.The script is so limited, that it's hard to grasp what is really going on here, and it boils down to a demon possession thing where no one understands what is happening.Truly a dark story with decent visual effects, but it was boring to watch.All in all it's a decent horror flick, but lacking a good story behind it.
the beginning totally got me. i truly jumped in my seat in the first jump scare. the movie had a lot of interesting music choices and it definitely played a big part of the intensity of the film and the many sprinkled scares throughout. the character Kensie is really cute. love the pink hair! i wonder if she died it for this role or if she wore a wig. either way, it was nice to see a not so typical priest's daughter. the movie had a different take of why she was possessed and that was refreshing to see. now a days there are so many possession films that are basically the same film with different names. some of the story was left open, maybe a part two is in the works?
