mraculeated The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Keeley Coleman The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Backlash007 ~Spoiler~ The Forgotten One has been forgotten indeed. And regardless of the praise it has got on here, I was reluctant to watch it. According to the box it's an "erotic thriller." I wasn't sure I was ready to see the great Terry O'Quinn in an erotic thriller. After about 10 minutes or so into the movie, my fears were soon displaced. The Forgotten One starts off on a high note. O'Quinn plays a writer who buys an old house to shut himself up in and get his next novel written. He soon has some blood-chilling encounters with one of the previous owners of the house: a ghost. These scenes are shot brilliantly and creeped the hell out of me. I can't give the director enough praise for his old school approach to raising the hairs on my arms. It really reminded me of a lot of the things we are seeing from Asia right now (Ringu and Ju-on namely). However, the second part of the film is very drama-heavy and loses all of the horror. It's almost like a ghost movie you would find on the Lifetime channel. It's still a good movie, but not the spook classic it could have been. So I can't give it the raving recommendation that others have. I can say that if you enjoy a good ghost story, check it out. Just be warned that it easily could have been a genre classic but fell short.

asmallersapphyre In the past I thought only the British could make a good ghost story. I was wrong. This is a wonderfully dark, atmospheric movie that thrills, chills and even in moments, sparks a giggle. My only regret is that it's not (yet) available in DVD format. Perhaps that will be rectified. In the meantime if you love ghost stories as much as I do you'll need to add this one to your collection. Kristy McNichol plays an endearing part as a budding writer and possible love interest of Terry O'Quinn who plays a widowed writer who buys a house and is soon confronted by his past ... his forgotten past. It's a really great story and an excellent movie all around. Well written, beautiful photography, and excellent acting which is unusual these days. Hope to see this one on DVD one day!

moonspinner55 Writer Terry O'Quinn moves into a house haunted by the spirit of a beautiful woman; with help from brash neighbor Kristy McNichol, he gets to the bottom of the mystery. Straight-to-tape item is a stylish low-budget effort aimed at thinking adults. There are erotic undercurrents that are not explored (curious, since the apparition is mostly seen nude), and relationships that seem half-baked, but O'Quinn is excellent here (with no "Stepfather" overtones). It's also a chance to see McNichol do good work before her youthful retirement. Not especially memorable or thrilling, but patient viewers will find some subtle surprises. **1/2 from ****

bcquinton This kind of "case suggestive of reincarnation" has intrigued me for years, but not since The Reincarnation of Peter Proud and the Two Worlds of Jennie Logan have I seen a movie so unique. Bravo to all involved, for their courage. Blair Parker (Evelyn) is gorgeous, but this seems to be the only movie she ever made. The movie is haunting (no pun intended), and I would like to find a soundtrack if there is one.
