Reviews for The Forsaken
Some movies don't need to be analyzed, just watched. This is not one of those movies because it didn't entertain me. It bored me, and when I am bored I get cranky.

The result is derivative but still entertaining.

Vampire movies are almost by definition cheesy, but "The Forsaken" is a lot cheesier than most.
05/15/01
The vampires are ignoble and exist beyond the constraints of physics, the guns are large.

The time may finally be ripe to leave the bloodsuckers to their coffins and move on to less familiar terrors.

The Forsaken tries too hard to be the sexiest new entrant in the vampire movie genre. And it fails.
05/07/01
Not enough to convince the target audience of easy-to-please teenybopper mallrats that this isn't a tired piece of work.
05/05/01
God has forsaken us all by allowing this movie to be made.
05/04/01
If your sober, it's just a waste of time.
05/03/01
A wearying desert-bound mess of exposed flesh, horrendous editing, retrograde effects and a grade-Z story.
05/02/01
This stupid movie is Grade-A suckiness!
05/02/01
Startlingly amateurish.
05/02/01
A fitting title, it seems that almost everything in this film is either forsaken or just plain neglected, including plot, characters and logic.
05/02/01
Watching it isn't so much disgusting as it is just a colossal waste of time.
05/02/01
A lame and poorly made effort.
04/30/01
Uses its WB pretty boys as a lure -- but the only ones biting are the laughable bloodsuckers of the title.
04/30/01
As hard as it tries, this film is no Near Dark -- not nearly.
04/30/01
One of the most toothless horror movies in recent memory.
