one of the best thriller!
..... selama ini gw ngerasa ini salah satu thriller terbaik yg korea punya. Emang sih, cuma setelah gw rewatch untuk yg ke-2(?) kalinya malah ngerasa plotnya gampang ketebak(?) Semacam ada hintnya gitu knp si yooseok bisa semarah itu. Tapi balik lg sih, kalo baru pertama nonton pasti ga nyangka jalan ceritanya begitu awokwowko 🤣 sinematografinya ok sih, gelap2 gitu sesuai genre dan pengambilan gambarnya juga keren. Suasana thrilling sama horornya dapet. Terus bgm!!!!! Kacau banget, 11-12 ama parasite. Beneran sebagus & setepat itu momentnya. Untuk acting gausah ditanyain lagi la ya, gw mah percaya aja kalo yg maen kang haneul sm kim muyeol 😃👍🏻Was this review helpful to you?
1The events were all moving so fast and were very interesting and gripping from start to finish. The actors were all very impressive and believable. Han Neul’s performance is as briliant as ever. AND, I will definitely keep an eye on Kim Mu Yeol’s future roles because I am in love!

never watch this with high expectations
a very forgettable movie, can't even wrap my head around how it's soo famous. the plot had soo mucj potential, and they were even good at extracting it, but they just overdid it at the end. the acting was amazinggg, but would never recommend to watch this for the storyline.The first plot twist was actually mind blowing, but then the plot just became predictable, with a weird drive to it? Also the last scene where they believe who his pretend older brother actually is was so '????' So done with this cliche 'the survivers gotta be there' plot.

It's not often that I write a review. Not even for movies i've seen multiple times. This turned out to be a movie that screams "write a review for me!" It's that good.If you're into the suspense thriller genre that is...
When you go by the summary of the movie, you might think that it's just an abduction/family movie. I personally thought something down the lines of someone getting plastic surgery to invade the family and do something... I don't know. I'm happy it wasn't what I had in mind. It was so much better.
At the first half of the movie, you're slowly sucked into the story and the events happening to/around Jin Seok, and you think you sort of get what's happening or what is about to happen and then the second half of the movie kicks you all the way back. What you thought was happening, isn't happening at all. It surprised and intrigued me even further. Although, to be fair, when the second half of the movie started and they started to explain the events to you, I got bored for a few minutes. Gone was the suspense and the mystery. Just to start back up again. AND kick you in the gut with the ending. It's hard not to give any spoilers.
Anyways, before I digress. If you look closely in the first half, you get a few hints here and there that will give you an "Ah-ha!" moment later on, if you saw them. I didn't think much of them at first, until i went back to look at it again. There were a few major "Ah-Ha!" moments for me. And even though I didn't expect it at first, I cried during the last 20 minutes of the film. So yes, I would definitely recommend watching this.

English and Portuguese Review
𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐝-𝐛𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐮𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐞Forgotten starts off really strong, with lots of suspense and a strange atmosphere that pulls you in right away. From the beginning, you’re curious to understand what’s going on, and the movie does a great job of keeping you tense the whole time. As the story goes on, you start feeling just as paranoid as the protagonist, constantly trying to figure out what’s real and what isn’t. The film conveys that sense of confusion and fear really well.
The protagonist’s performance plays a big part in this. You can genuinely feel his desperation, and you end up falling into the paranoia along with him. The movie messes with your head on purpose and makes you uncomfortable, and honestly, that’s the best part of the experience.
The plot twist is good and surprising, but the final part bothered me a bit. The movie chooses to explain everything very directly, and because of that, the mystery and tension start to fade. For me, the psychological horror that was carrying the film becomes weaker there, making it feel a bit slower.
Even so, it doesn’t ruin the experience. Forgotten is still a movie that’s very much worth watching, especially if you enjoy thrillers that play with your mind and stay with you even after they’re over.

Forgotten já começa muito bem, com bastante suspense e um clima estranho que te prende fácil. Desde o início você fica curioso pra entender o que tá acontecendo, e o filme faz um ótimo trabalho em te deixar tenso o tempo todo. Conforme a história avança, você começa a ficar tão paranoico quanto o protagonista, tentando descobrir o que é real e o que não é. O filme consegue passar muito bem essa sensação de confusão e medo.
A atuação do protagonista ajuda muito nisso. Dá pra sentir o desespero dele de um jeito bem real, e você acaba entrando na paranoia junto com ele. O filme brinca com a sua cabeça, te deixa desconfortável de propósito, e essa é a melhor parte da experiência.
O plot twist é bom e surpreende, mas a parte final me incomodou um pouco. O filme resolve explicar tudo de forma bem direta, e aí aquele clima de mistério e tensão vai se perdendo. Pra mim, o terror psicológico que segurava o filme acaba ficando mais fraco nessa parte, deixando tudo um pouco mais arrastado.
Mesmo com isso, não estraga a experiência. Forgotten ainda é um filme que vale muito a pena, principalmente se você curte suspense que mexe com a cabeça e te deixa pensando até depois que acaba.

estuvo guay
me gustó bastante, sobre todo la primera parte en la q vas descubriendo cosas y esoWas this review helpful to you?
this film was definitely thrilling. from start two finish it was unpredictable, suspenseful, and often even terrifying . there was no dull moment. it keeps you guessing. i was very confused in the first half - only for the pieces to masterfully fall into place in the second half.
the performances from the cast were haunting and moving. i quickly became invested in the two brothers, so the events of the film shocked and upset me. the plot and the backstories really make you feel strongly, and the ending was heartwrenching but it was necessary for the story.
i loved it, but i wouldn't really want to rewatch it. maybe once to notice any clues i missed? but the tone is very dark and the first half might lose it's charm when you have watched the entire film. i would recommend this to everyone though.

Strong opening with a decent finish
The acting was incredible! The story and concept were pretty good as well. I think the first half of the movie is stronger than the second half. The first half really keeps you guessing on what is actually happening which makes it a lot of fun to watch. The wrap up for the movie was pretty good but could've been done a bit better. It wasn't disappointing or bad in any way at all, just maybe could've used a bit more tweaking for the second half.Was this review helpful to you?
i wouldn't wanna spoil, but you do have this false identity going on that really sets the vibe and the tension, you have "suspicious" and the stage to revealing the truth which is really played well. a lot of action but in a small stage. honestly give the movie a try, like legit it got me clapping and jumping.

The movie plot had sort of a horror movie feeling and so did the 1st half of the movie, but there onwards it took a different turn. I didn't expect to actually like the movie when I started watching it...I'm so glad that I decided to check this movie. :) Lots of plot twists, although you can probably come up with many theories and guess how the story is gonna go. Still it was very interesting and thrilling to watch. And as far as I noticed, there were no plot holes. ?
Also the acting was brilliant...especially that of Kang Ha Neul! His role wasn't an easy one but he did an outstanding job!
Deserves a 10/10. The reason why I gave the re-watch value 3/10 is because the story is kind of tragic so I don't think I can re-watch it again..

Just had a chance to watch this movie in flight, I was browsing the movies in World Cinema , I came across with this one, when I saw Ha Neul's name I decided settle in with this movie.It was the right choice, movie starts with a family moving to a new home.
Ha Neul is a boy who is studying for university entrance, least that's what we are being shown, but things aren't what seems to be...
First I thought it's a horror movie, but no it's a pretty good thriller.
It gives you the taste of a horror movie.
People are very biased about Ha Neul but I like him as an actor, I did like his performance on this one, as well as previous movies, including Scarlet Heart.
It's filled with plot twists, just when you think oo I got it, it's like this, damn in the next scene you see that you are wrong,
I don't want to spoil anything for giving some information because if I tell something I might ruin the entire movie, you get the know the truth just at the very end of the movie.
As I said previously things are not what it looks like.. Not everyone is who they claim to be :)
The film begins with Jin Seok's nightmare and the movie swallows you like a hurricane/ tornado, you don't want to move from your seat.
After the nightmare his brother got kidnapped and he was missing for about 20 days and when he gets back he starts to behave different.
The close relationship in between them is gone and they are now distant to each other,
There are lots of secret codes, such as the brother tells him not to enter a room, and Jin Seok
keeps hearing sounds / noises from that room and he gets curious obviously.
You don't know what's the reality or what's the fantasy (his dreams. subconscious)
Things are going very fast in the movie, so I suggest you to keep your remote control on hand while watching.
Screen writer is always ahead of you in this movie, it's hard to guess the ending.
I have to admit that the character Kang Ha Neul portraying is not an easy one but he portrays is beautifully..
If I have to give a spoiler I'll give two
Jin Seok goes to police station and they asked his birthdate, and the police tells him that so you are 40 years old, he says no he's only 20 years old, when they asked him the year he says 1997 and everyone starts to laugh and they show him the calendar on the wall, it's 2007 so he's missing 20 years and he doesn't remmeber anything about it..
I have to admit that not only Ha Neul did a great job also Kim Mu Yeol was quite realistic portraying the brother.
When Seok's brother gone missing mother (Na Young Hee) & father (
Moon Sung Geun) were extremely cold and I couldn't understand why at the time.. You'll understand it at the end :) everything you see will be resolved at the end of the movie.
It's not a romance so no happy ending for all..
Happy watching
