Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Waste of time

This is How Movies Should Be Made

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

I have always had an obsessed with vampires. This movie I have loved ever since I have been little. If you enjoy vampire movies with a lot of blood and mean vampires(Not ones who sparkle) Then this is for you.It's about Nick and Sean who meet a mysterious blonde girl. They get sucked into the world of vampires in the middle of the desert. I think the acting is wonderful. Johnathon does an amazing job as Kit (He pulls off being a vampire, looking sexy and scary and also having that "it" factor to lead the group of vampires). I wouldn't look past this movie at all. It does follow the line of The Lost Boys, John Carpenter's Vampires and Near Dark. This vampires are vicious and vengeful which makes for a good vampire flick.

despite the fact that Comcast only gave it 1 star, I decided to watch this movie one recent rainy Saturday afternoon, and I was pleasantly surprised.first, a disclaimer: even though I'm a 50-something female, I apparently have the movie tastes of a 12-year-old boy. I loved "Route 666" with Lou Diamond Phillips, and and I never miss "Wishmaster 2" when it's on cable.but if you, like me, like guilty pleasures, you will like this movie. it's a buddy pic with a desert vibe and rather a lot of bloody vampiric action, so--something for everyone! the acting is--competent, let's say. Brendan Fehr, who plays Nick, is actually pretty good. (I see he also starred in another favorite guilty pleasure, Final Destination.) and the two main characters are pretty appealing: you like them and root for them.when talking about a good-bad movie I always say "Well, it's not Citizen Kane or anything" but in fact this movie was far more entertaining than Citizen Kane. if you find yourself at loose ends on a rainy Saturday, check it out.

When I first read the plot description of "The Forsaken", I was not expecting a whole lot. However as the story unfolded, I was pleasantly surprised at how good the movie was. The movie starts with Sean (Kerr Smith) who works at a studio cutting trailers. To earn a little extra cash on the side, he takes a job of driving a beautiful Mercedes across country which also happens to coincide with the fact that his sister is having a wedding at the destination as well. Along the way he meets a mysterious hitchhiker named Nick (Brendan Fehr) who, it turns out, is on the trail of a very nasty vampire (played to great effect by Johnathon Schaech). Nick has apparently be bitten by the Forsaken (as the vampires are referred to) and in order to save himself from becoming the undead, he must kill the master vampire before its too late and he is not the only one as they soon meet up with Megan (the beautiful Izabella Miko) who has also been cursed and left for dead by the vampire gang. To make matters worse, Sean becomes infected by accident when Megan passes the curse on to him. Due to the desert setting and outlaw nature of the vampires, one will see the obvious influence of "Near Dark" on the storyline and while this film is not quite as good as that movie, its not as bad as some people have said. The dialog is pretty decent and intelligent for this kind of movie and there is pretty good direction and camera shots by J.S. Cardone. Add some really cool car chases to the mix and you have yourself a good teenage vampire movie, something that seems rare these days with the introduction of "Twilight". So, if you're looking for a decent horror flick to kill 90 Min's, check out "The Forsaken". 8 out of 10.

While driving a delivery car across desolate desert badlands backroads self-absorbed twentysomething slacker Sean (amiable Kerr Smith) winds up running into both scruffy vampire hunter Nick (an excellent, charismatically ragtag turn by Brendan Fehr) and a deadly bunch of age-old itinerant bloodsuckers led by the smoothly malevolent Kit (the terrific Jonathan Schaech, who's wonderfully wicked in a juicy full-blown nasty villain part). Opening with the arresting image of beautiful blonde babe Izabella Miko washing blood off her bare breasts in the shower, culminating with an exciting explosive climax, with a handy helping of graphic gore, raucous roaring rock music and rousing vehicular action sandwiched in between, this delightfully down'n'dirty low-budget Grade B exploitation horror flick sizes up as a tasty trashy treat. Writer/director J.S. ("The Slayer," "Shadowzone") Cardone elicits sound performances from the entire cast (veteran late, great character actress Carrie Snodgress in particular contributes a lively last reel cameo as a feisty old battle axe), keeps the unflagging pace fast'n'furious throughout, and, most importantly, delivers the unapologetically lowdown sleazy goods with a winning dearth of pretense and a hugely satisfying surplus of rip-snorting panache. Moreover, there's a marvelously positive and optimistic statement about the redemption of Generation X in this movie: Sean starts out as strictly interested in achieving his own immediate goals in life, but by meeting Nick and joining forces with him to fight the vampires he overcomes his initial selfishness and thus redeems himself in the process. Cardone persuasively makes the point that the allegedly "lost" and hopeless Generation X has a latent capacity to amount to something; all they need is the right stimulus to spark them into action. Since I'm often perceived as a member of this "lost" generation, I found this message to be both very refreshing and extremely heartening. It's nice to know that there are a few filmmakers out there like Mr. Cardone who haven't totally written us off as a lost cause. A splendidly scuzzy and snappy dilly that's one of my favorite fright features of the early 21st century which even comes complete with some pertinent social commentary about modern youth.
