Don't Forget the Promise

About This Movie

So, 'Don't Forget the Promise' from 1980 is one of those films that seems to slip through the cracks of mainstream conversation but has a certain charm. The atmosphere is quite eerie, almost haunting, which really sets a unique tone. I’d say the pacing is methodical, which some might find slow, but it really builds up the tension throughout. The practical effects, while not groundbreaking, have a certain raw quality that adds to its character. The performances are earnest, and there's a sense of genuine emotion that feels refreshing. It’s the kind of film that lingers in your mind, leaving you with more questions than answers, and that's what makes it distinctive in a way.

This film isn't commonly found and was released in limited formats, which adds to its collector appeal. VHS copies are particularly scarce, and I've seen a few online but rarely in good condition. There's been some talk about a possible remaster, but for now, the original release is what collectors are hunting. Enthusiasts appreciate the film for its quirky storytelling and the intriguing elements that make it stand out despite its obscurity.
