The Forgotten Ones Audience Reviews

Vashirdfel Simply A Masterpiece
Suman Roberson It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Tymon Sutton The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
Keith Jamison I picked this up in the bargain section of my local supermarket.The first few scenes, set in 1922, set up a nice teaser for the remainder of the main feature.That is where it lost any sense of suspense.The dialogue was corny. The characters were too flat.I must admit, the only reason I decided to buy it was for Jewel Staite - she was the only name I recognised - She was great as Kaylee in Firefly and as Jennifer Keller in Stargate Atlantis.Apparently someone called 'Kellan Lutz' is well known so this may well appeal to his fan-base.The monsters were never fully explored or developed. I guess that maybe some of the screenplay ending up on the cutting room floor.The cinematography was fair to middling but the dark scenes didn't have enough contrast at times.The biggest disappointment for me was the 'crazy credits' at the end where the makers thanked everybody including Mel Gibson, Sly Stallone and then engaged in listing the proponents of the world's major religions, totally unwarranted.I would have given this one star but for the fact that Jewel Staite was in it and managed to be the most believable character of all.It's an hour and 25 minutes I won't get back but maybe this will save you from the same sense of anticlimax.This title was released in the UK as "After Dusk They Come".
Carrigon What a waste of time. The opening sequence takes place in the past and looks promising. But then...we get to the present. And it all goes downhill from there.The movie apes a lot of Predator sequences. But it's all a waste because the characters are really being chased by some kind of weird mutated bigfoot ape things.Everyone dies pretty fast, so that too, was a waste.Jewel's character is the only one left standing. And she ridiculously goes into Predator fightin mode. I'd say it jumps the shark right there.The ending is anticlimactic. And you just kind of sit there like, that's it??? Total waste of time. Jewel did give it her all, though. But sometimes even good acting cannot save a really bad movie.
Kellie Stewart This as the most meaningless, boring, plot less movie I think I have ever watched. When the movie started, the characters made me think it was going to be a worthwhile movie. Once they hit the island, it went straight downhill. We don't really know who or what the creatures are, if they are killing the people just because they happened to be there or if they were food, how they got intelligent enough to learn how to set traps and why, if this island had been explored before, why it wasn't on a map. The dumbest part in the movie is the fact that the only survivor smashes a radio that could lead to her rescue and hits the open seas in a rubber raft with a plastic paddle. The other big question was why they didn't kill her when they initially had her. I thought maybe she was pregnant and they were going to let her live for procreation purposes, but the writers weren't even smart enough to think of that as an option. At the beginning of the movie, we see that there are researchers there. Why did no one ever try to find them? The creatures were laughable, especially the female. Their posturing looked like they were trying to go to the bathroom with no success. This movie is a complete waste of time.
matches81 The plot summary on the back sounded somewhat interesting, so I rented this one tonight. I just finished watching it.Overall, there's just not much to say about it. Everything is slightly worse than mediocre. The movie falls into that ugly gap between being so bad it's entertaining and being an honestly good movie. The four "characters" are basically non-existent and there's close to no background about the "monsters". Speaking of those, they aren't even especially gruesome in any way, neither regarding their looks nor their practices. The film tries to get some tension going, but it just didn't work for me at all. The plot is as foreseeable as it could be right from the start, not a single surprise to be found and the ending is very, very... unsatisfying.
