Forgotten

About This Movie

So, 'Forgotten' from 2017 is this gem of a thriller that really digs into the psyche of its characters. Set in Seoul during the late '90s, it follows Jin-seok, a jumpy, anxious student, and his family as they navigate this unsettling shift in their lives. The pacing is deliberate, letting the tension simmer before it really bursts. There’s an eerie atmosphere throughout, amplified by some pretty effective practical effects that enhance the mystery rather than overpower it. Performances are solid, particularly from the lead, who captures that sense of dread perfectly. The film explores themes of memory and trauma, making it stand out in the crime-mystery genre. It's not your typical thriller; it lingers with you.
