The ending is tragic & heartbreaking but also lacks that gut-punching quality. Still, the characters are well-defined and the entire cast does a fabulous job in bringing their scripted roles to life. The twists however are a tad too many, which in turn hurt its credibility to an extent. What Jang does well here is keeping us intrigued & invested in where all of it is headed even when the film takes some wild detours. The tone shifts around the halfway mark and the dots start to connect as new details surface & revelations pour in but the first half is much better & more effective than the next one. Written & directed by Jang Hang-jun, the first act plays out like a haunted house horror with steady build-up, uneasy vibe & hints of supernatural before elements of mystery & paranoia take over the screen. Contrived at times yet narrated with such tenacity that the plot stays compelling throughout, Forgotten comes jam-packed with twists n turns and takes its viewers into unexpected alleys without giving away too much, thus making for a consistently engaging ride which keeps the tension & mystery alive for the most part before losing steam near the end and finishing on a sappy note.
