Forsaken (2016)

Simply Perfect

Don't listen to the negative reviews

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Justin Price did it again. He created a Horror film so bad, that it almost hurts to watch it and only true survivors will be able to sit through this horrible movie all the way to the end. If you have seen "The 13th Friday" you kinda know what will await you in "Forsaken". At least in terms of quality. Bad acting, bad writing, bad dialogues but at least one or two nice make up effects. Of course this won't carry an entire movie and so "Forsaken" should be avoided at all costs. So far I have only seen this one and Price's follow up "The 13th Friday". But for me there is definetely a pattern to spot. As soon as a future (or past) movie has the "Director: Justin Price" tag on it, I won't watch it. Lesson learned.

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..

I feel sorry for anyone who thought this drivel was any good at all. The dialogue sounded like it was written by grade schoolers, the acting is amateurish, and there is absolutely no plot. Typical of crappy movies, most of it was filmed in the dark to hide the glaring deficits of this disaster of a movie. The story is so terrible that most of the dialogue makes no sense at all and I have absolutely no idea what the main character was doing at the end. The entire time I had this on I wanted to turn it off but I kept thinking there's no way a movie can be as bad as I thought it was, so I kept waiting for some redeeming value, but it never came. Just regret. This was a terrible mistake.

I thought to myself, wow this film really isn't as bad as everybody has been saying! Then I realised I had just woke up and the damn thing was still playing. Indeed, to escape the awful film I had to create my own entertainment at the back of my eyelids, which was very enjoyable I might add. 8/10. I am a fellow horror fan and thought that the overall premise seemed reasonable and thus I gave it a shot despite the reviews and ratings. The acting in most parts was generic and resembled to me how most people talk the morning after inebriation. I am usually sympathetic and try to be open minded about film and actors as I somewhat generally understand how much work goes into making one however this felt more like an effort for those involved than a labour of love, from directing and cinematography through to acting. Well that is my first review ever completed. I just felt compelled to have a little moan ;P
