Reviewers Give Very High Marks Or Very Low

As I write this there are 10 reviews. Typically when the count is this low the positive reviews are shills from the cast or production staff trying to drive traffic to the theaters or rental markets.Assume this now, this movie is just terrible. Bone achingly slow and contrived, I was forced by an uncontrollable urge in my lizard brain to fast forward to the end to ease the boredom.Ignore any review that promises "plot twists." There is one. One twist and it has no relevance to the story other than to make it more pathetic. I knew exactly what was going to happen.When there are dozens or hundreds of reviews and the comments vary widely it simply means some got the premise and others it was lost on. I cannot see anyone who is not on Thorozine or other profound anti-psychotics enjoying this, just a bad, slow, predictable essay on pathetic psychosis.Spend the two hours you would have on this sleeping,you will be far more entertained.Better yet, take your dog to the park!Cheers!

You can Forget this one.

Forgetting the Girl is an indie horror movie that never quit gets off the ground. Honestly, this isn't usually my type of film to begin with, but there are some horror movies I quite enjoy if the story and/ or characters are interesting. But this film didn't really have either. The only reason I watched this movie was because I saw Anna Camp was in it and I love her. However, despite being on the cover and sides of the DVD box, Anna Camp is only in the movie for the first 19 minutes, and then she is never in it again. Instead, the film follows Kevin Wolfe, an awkward photographer who has problems with the ladies. Every time he gets rejected, he has to "forget the Girl," and the audience has to wonder if he has killed them or not as they are never seen again. It quickly becomes clear that he is, in fact, the creepy killer he seems. Now I can take shows with the dark subject matter. I love the Walking Dead, and I thought X 2022 was brilliant. But this movie crosses a line as Kevin convinces the weird Girl that is in love with him to kill herself and take the blame for his murders. Now, while that may sound interesting, its execution just made me feel sick and left me with a weird empty feeling. This is partially due to the fact that I didn't like any of the characters except for Anna Camp's character. I wouldn't recommend this one. But I will give it two stars Because Anna Camp looked terrific and acted great in the three scenes she is in.
