Startlingly amateurish.

It trots out its full arsenal of shock tactics far too early in the game and squanders the suspense it has accumulated.

Andrew Pulver Guardian [UK] (Top Critic)

Stripped to its essentials, this could have been an intriguing vampire movie.

Bruce Westbrook Houston Chronicle (Top Critic)

As hard as it tries, this film is no Near Dark -- not nearly.

Robert K. Elder Chicago Tribune (Top Critic)

A fitting title, it seems that almost everything in this film is either forsaken or just plain neglected, including plot, characters and logic.

Toothless bloodsuckers will bore you to death.

Roger Moore Orlando Sentinel (Top Critic)

This is so badly made that it even botches the post-climax ending, spinning the last scenes out so that, for a moment, I was afraid the survivors were heading off for more adventures.

Scary and sexy.

An unoriginal, but occasionally pungent little horror flick.

Miles Beller Los Angeles Times (Top Critic)

This slight but not altogether uninteresting monster opera can be a hoot.

A rare horror film in which the heroes are better drawn than the monsters, this trips up because Schaech doesn't cut it as a master fiend and the car chases distract from the dread.

It's not a scary movie, it's a vampire movie. And in reality, it's kind of a bad vampire movie.

This one got a little redundant about halfway through.

The writer/director then squanders his wayward energies on repetitive, ham-fisted action and boring violence.

As a horror film, it's not scary nor suspenseful; and as an action picture, it's not terribly exciting, if at all.

Bood-sucking vampires prey on teen TV stars. Never seen that one before...

The only true forsaken are the disillusioned patrons seeking a good vampire movie.

Near Dark, the last great 'vampires-in-the-desert' flick is blasphemed over and over again. If you're thinking of seeing this, don't.

Se puede ver solamente si se es fanatico del genero o si se asiste al cine con ganas de dejar las neuronas en la entrada por un par de horas.

Get out the garlic and the crosses and send this unholy film back to hell.

The Forsaken is positively anaemic.

Some movies don't need to be analyzed, just watched. This is not one of those movies because it didn't entertain me. It bored me, and when I am bored I get cranky.

The result is derivative but still entertaining.

Vampire movies are almost by definition cheesy, but "The Forsaken" is a lot cheesier than most.
