The Forsaken

Nice Budget, shame about the story.

You know, sometimes you&apos;ll see a B-movie horror flick where the story really grabs you and you think, man, if they just had a better budget, cast, effects, this really could have been something. Then in turn you&apos;ll see a movie with a decent cast, director and money to spend, but its obvious the script was written two days before shooting began.

I&apos;m sorry to say that the Forsaken is more of the latter and less of the former. For us boys, there&apos;s plenty of explosions, car chases, the odd bit of nudity, but the plot is so wafer thin it falls to pieces at the first breeze.

As a &apos;popcorn&apos; &apos;no-brainer&apos; of a movie it&apos;s pleasant enough, the cast perform well with what little they&apos;ve been given, but for me personally the ending felt like it had been &apos;tacked on&apos; in a rush. That and the fact the whole thing feels like a marketing ploy to earn a sequel spoiled it for me really. Still if you&apos;re at a loose end and you like your horror flicks might be worth a watch for Johnathon Schaech (Star turn in my opinion) as the head vampire. Just don&apos;t get your expectations up.
