The Forsaken (2001)
7/10
Watchable desert vampire flick.
5 November 2006
While traveling cross-country Sean picks up a hitchhiker named Nick,a mysterious,pessimistic fellow with no direction.They encounter a freaked-out girl whom Nick seems to know how to help. Come to find out,the girl was recently bitten by a vampire and will completely turn into one in a few days.Nick had the same thing happen to him and thus recognized the symptoms;he's been postponing the inevitable through a cocktail of drugs that can stave off the vampire virus for a while.If he can find and kill the vampire who bit him,the virus will go away."The Forsaken" is a fast-paced vampire flick obviously influenced by Kathryn Bieglow's "Near Dark".The film features a decent amount of blood and nudity.The acting is fine,unfortunately "The Forsaken" is never scary.Still if you want to kill some time give it a look.7 out of 10.
