Forsaken

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

Despite the mumbling actors, incoherent story-line, and dim lighting this low-budget horror does succeed in portraying a creepy atmosphere. But atmosphere only goes so far, and as the film meanders on, presenting scenes that don't fit together, and way too much blubbering from a grown man, viewers will probably start checking the clock. The director and editor were probably doing the same, because the movie doesn't build up to much and the ending seems rushed despite taking forever to arrive. It's difficult to say whether this is worth the investment of time, certainly the viewer won't be missing much if he or she gives up.

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.

There was no plot. Ex. When the priest was tied up and then all the sudden was at the burning cross...how did he get there? Why was his daughter having the experiences she did? What did it have to do with the rest of the movie? What really happened to the horse that was supposedly killed? Why was there a cult and what did it have to do with anything? Literally the worst movie plot I've ever seen. The only good thing is that it was kinda creepy and the makeup and effects were done better than the whole entire movie plot line. I'm a huge fan of horror. I watch it enough that it doesn't really scare me anymore, so a good story line is needed to keep me interested. I woke up today pretty hung over and decided to give it a try. At first I was stoked that it was actually creeping me out. It's been a while. I love the scare effect. But then, I was just sad cuz the movie makes no sense. If the producers of this movie see this, please do it better. Cuz it has the potential to really scare the crap outta me.

This is one muddled mess of a flick. The latest woman doing the crab walk is the wife of a priest who loses his faith. He does so after his wife is diagnosed with brain cancer. There are some cool aspects but lost in a film that doesn't make a whole lot of sense. It almost feels like 40 minutes got cut out, which was probably crucial to the plot development.

The music mostly drowned out any dialogue. The dialogue sucked anyhow. The picture was grainy as well.

I do warn you that another Ouija board is whipped out and again they don't end by saying goodbye. These are the same people that don't use their turn signals when making a turn.
