The Forsaken Reviews
terrible
This movie was terrible doesn't begin to explain it. It's a vampire movie that follows none of the rules. They don't have to be asked to let in. No attacking them with silver or stake through the heart. Just shoot em up. Also the plot seems to randomly occur. I would give it 0 stars if possible.
The usual Cardone fare.
The Forsaken (J. S. Cardone, 2001 )
I should probably know better by now. And yet I still subject myself to J. S. Cardone movies.
In this one, Sean, a guy (Dawson's Creek's Kerr Smith) hired to drive a car from Los Angeles to Miami picks up a hitchhiker, Nick (Final Destination's Brendan Fehr) in the middle of the desert. The two of them encounter Megan, a sick girl(Coyote Ugly's Izabella Miko) when they stop for the night in town. Nick insists she come with them, saying he knows what's wrong with her, and eventually tells Sean that the group have vampires on their tail. (Well, the word "vampires" doesn't exactly crop up seriously, but come on, you know what they are.) The rest of the movie can be summed up with "things blow up."
Cardone is one of the straight-to-Sci-Fi-Chanel directors who fills his movies with young-and-beautifuls who have limited (if any) acting ability, but are relatively easy on the eyes. (In their defense, this is not a new tactic; witness the brilliant film career of, say, Farrah Fawcett.) Smith is a bit above the average y-n-b in acting ability, though the other two here are right on the mark. The minor characters don't have much to go on, either, as the script came straight out of a "write your first screenplay in twenty-one days" kind of book. Which could make a passable film if you had a really original, or even a really good, fast-paced plot. Alas, no such thing exists here.
This movie deserves a mercifully quick slide into obscurity. About the only was I can imagine it having any longevity at all is if it's somehow turned into a drinking game. * ½
