Stylish, moody, gripping and utterly nonsensical--what else do you expect from the director of Sleeping With the Enemy and the writer of Instinct?

Top CriticWhile this is mainly just an okay X-Files-ish creep show, there are serious jump-out- of-your seat moments.

Despite its thriller and sci-fi trappings, this film is, above all, a tribute to the strength of a mother's love and courage.
09/25/04
A serviceable X-Files episode, elevated a bit by Moore's contained yet furious take on never-say-die mother love.
09/24/04
Perhaps wisely leaves more questions than it answers and for the most part manages to maintain its suspense.
09/24/04
Top CriticSuch unabashed ludicrousness can be fun, in a brainless sort of way, especially when it's coupled with lots of sudden defibrillator jolts underscored by crashing cymbals.
09/24/04
Top CriticIt has action, moments that will make you jump, plus an emotional connection. It takes an unexpected shift in direction, but it's still entertaining.
09/26/04
Members of Forgotten's classy cast ... turn what could have been a standard Twilight Zone episode into a psychological drama that grapples with compelling questions about grief and memory.
09/23/04
The Forgotten delivers enough chills and thrills to make us forget its flaws
09/25/04
For all the supernatural/science-fictional trappings, this is essentially a love story. The best genre pieces always have real world connections...
09/24/04
It is not easy for a parent to watch, or anyone who has cared about a child, but not making it easy is what lifts Ruben in good form above the go-for-it thrill grinders.
09/24/04
It's fun ... trying to stay one step ahead of director Joseph Ruben (Sleeping With the Enemy), who plays the game well, even throwing in a couple of legitimate scares along the way.
09/24/04
Like a trashy supermarket tabloid, we are drawn to its cheap thrills.
09/26/04
With my plausibility sensor safely disengaged, The Forgotten was a workout for my imagination.
