The Forgotten Reviews
An undemanding but somewhat entertaining mumbo-jumbo thriller, but not one to be remembered as good.
| Original Score: C+ | May 7, 2019
The real suspense is in seeing just how far out Gerald Di Pego's script is going to go, as this paranoid thriller leaps to the supernatural. It's poppycock, but well directed: Ruben delivers two or three guaranteed jolts.

Creepy thriller not for faint of heart.

Who wants to see -- or remember -- a wildly implausible thriller that's also grim and humorless?

The climax is a disappointment, lacking the quick visual thrills earlier in the movie and failing to answer many key questions raised throughout.

The early scenes work because they rely on Moore's performance for their effects, but soon we're thrust into the machinations of the plot, and the film begins to fall apart.

Few films have title more deserving.

Not since Star Trek V: The Final Frontier has there been such a stupid omnipotent force.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Jul 25, 2005
The Forgotten, though not an outright bad movie, is yet another frustrating example of a Hollywood film that simply lacks the courage of its convictions.

Starts out as a psychological drama and gets a whole lot weirder as it goes along.
| Original Score: B | Feb 6, 2005
What the father-son bond was to Frequency mother love is to The Forgotten, a "Twilight Zone" / "X-Files"-esque thriller with a pro-life twist.
| Original Score: B- | Feb 3, 2005
*Rarely has so much cinematic stuff -- star power, special effects, set design -- gone on in the service of something so evanescent and feathery.

Unusual mix of drama and science fiction, masquerading as a horror film.

... [Julianne Moore] is the heart and soul that lifts The Forgotten from direct-to-video fare and into something genuinely interesting.
| Original Score: 3.0/4.0 | Jan 21, 2005
