From that moment on, his road trip is transformed into a surreal and terrifying nightmare. Sean's new companion, Nick (Brendan Fehr), is not the laid back, aimless traveler he seems to be. He is a hunter. And his prey are a roving band of forsaken youths who feed upon hapless victims found in the dead of night—in a word, vampires. When Sean and Nick pick up the dazed and frightened Megan (Izabella Miko), whom the killers had left for dead, she becomes a human lure for the vampires. The stakes are raised when Sean himself is infected. The only cure for them all is to kill the host organism, Kit (Johnathon Schaech), the vicious leader. It's a deadly race against time to escape the fate of their enemies— joining the ranks of the insatiable undead forever. -- © 2001 Screen Gems [More]

Reviews for The Forsaken
Get out the garlic and the crosses and send this unholy film back to hell.
Se puede ver solamente si se es fanático del género o si se asiste al cine con ganas de dejar las neuronas en la entrada por un par de horas.
This slight but not altogether uninteresting monster opera can be a hoot.
The Forsaken tries too hard to be the sexiest new entrant in the vampire movie genre. And it fails.
Puked-up blood, inexplicable explosions and naked breasts are pretty much all The Forsaken has to offer.
It's not a scary movie, it's a vampire movie. And in reality, it's kind of a bad vampire movie.
Not enough to convince the target audience of easy-to-please teenybopper mallrats that this isn't a tired piece of work.
As a horror film, it's not scary nor suspenseful; and as an action picture, it's not terribly exciting, if at all.
A fitting title, it seems that almost everything in this film is either forsaken or just plain neglected, including plot, characters and logic.
The vampires are ignoble and exist beyond the constraints of physics, the guns are large.
It trots out its full arsenal of shock tactics far too early in the game and squanders the suspense it has accumulated.
Too familiar, too derivative and too inferior to its predecessors to have any reason to exist.
