Leave your thoughts about The Forgotten.
| Nick's Flick PicksNick DavisThrumming up a bravely silly premise with some forceful and dexterous acting choices, Moore is palpably haunted through the film, and yet you imagine this is fun for her. |
| Boston GlobeTy BurrTurns out to be a grade-A B-movie that grounds its thrills in particulars of time, place, and character, so that when the time comes to make the leap into the wholly preposterous, we do so willingly. This is a movie that earns our trust -- and then happily abuses it. |
| CompuserveHarvey S. KartenAfter toying with the audience for most of the picture's time, 'The Forgotten' simply leaves us hanging. |
| Rue Morgue MagazineChris AlexanderThe Forgotten, though not an outright bad movie, is yet another frustrating example of a Hollywood film that simply lacks the courage of its convictions. |
| Northwest Herald (Crystal Lake, IL)Jeffrey WesthoffThe first major rip-off of The Sixth Sense. |
| Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)John BeifussIt's not the impossible premise that snaps the suspension of disbelief but the absurd details (these all-powerful conspirators use WALLPAPER to cover up evidence??)... |
| Filmcritic.comSean O'ConnellUnless you've trained your sights on anal probing, you really have no idea how crazy this tale eventually gets. |
| Greenwich Village GazetteEric LurioThe ending is one of the most awful I've seen in a major motion picture. |
| Entertainment SpectrumVince KoehlerJoseph Ruben directs this thriller that kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. |
| Baltimore SunChris KaltenbachThis is a movie that earns its suspense and validates its emotions, especially its examination of the bond between mother and child. |
