The Forsaken

About This Movie

The Forsaken (2017) is a unique blend of fantasy and emotional storytelling. Set in a world where fairytale creatures actually exist, the film unfolds as a young boy embarks on a quest that tugs at the heartstrings. The atmosphere is quite ethereal, evoking a sense of wonder mixed with melancholy. It has that slow, almost dreamlike pacing that lets you really soak in the visuals and emotions. Practical effects take center stage here, which adds a distinct charm—there's something about them that just feels more grounded. The performances, particularly that of the young lead, carry a weight that’s both innocent and profound, making it stand apart from typical fantasy fare.
