A Watchlist Gem I Finally Opened ?


Finally watched Forgotten today and honestly… I didn’t expect to love it this much. 😭

This movie was on my watchlist for a long time. I had been planning to watch it for so many days, but kept delaying it for no reason. Today I just thought okay, let’s finally watch it and yeah… I’m really glad I did.

Giving this a 10/10❤️

What I loved the most is how the movie starts pretty normally but slowly builds this strange and uncomfortable feeling. Nothing feels completely right, but at the same time u don’t know exactly what is wrong. The atmosphere, the house, the night scenes, the silence between characters… everything adds to that feeling.
The acting was honestly amazing. Especially the way the characters react to small things. Jin-seok’s expressions, confusion and fear felt very natural. You can actually feel his mind becoming more and more disturbed as the story moves forward.

And the story is definitely the biggest reason I loved it. The movie keeps giving u small pieces of information and makes u think you’ve figured it out, and then suddenly something happens which makes u question everything again. 😭

The twists are sooo well placed. It doesn’t just throw random twists at u for shock. Most of them actually connect with things shown earlier, which makes the movie even better when u think about it afterwards.

I also really liked the pacing. It takes its time in the beginning, but I never felt bored because there was always this feeling that something was coming. And once the movie really starts revealing things, it becomes difficult to stop watching.

The small details are probably what I enjoyed the most. The phone calls, the conversations, the behaviour of the characters, the little changes in Jin-seok’s understanding of things… everything slowly starts adding up.
And the action was really good too especially the intensity in the later parts. It didn’t feel unnecessary and actually fitted the story.

What I really liked about Forgotten is that after finishing it, u can actually go back in your mind and look at earlier scenes differently. Some moments that seemed normal suddenly feel completely different once u know what’s actually happening.

And yeah, after a long time I found a movie that actually gave me that “I need to know what happens next” feeling. 😭

No unnecessary romance, no boring side story, just a solid mystery/thriller with great acting, atmosphere and twists.
Really loved the story, loved the acting, loved the twists and honestly just loved the whole experience.

Still thinking about it after finishing… and that’s always a good sign.
