So all I really ask for out of a teen horror flick is to be entertained. It doesn't have to be totally original, it doesn't have to be well written or acted, and by now, I really don't even expect them to even be scary. Just make it fun. Don't throw in so many clichés that we feel like we've seen it all before, and try to make the best use of what you have.
Forget Me Not is (I assume) a direct to video thriller with lots of model-quality unknown teen actors getting killed one by one. It shows some promise by having a nice backstory which we don't see all at once. It even builds a nice atmosphere with its setting suns and carefree California summer. It turns out to be a bunch of chases, however, with ghosts that look like a variation on every Ring/Grudge knockoff from the last 10 years.
The main character is a girl who played a mean trick on another child when they were young. It led to the girl ending up in a coma, but now her ghost appears to take away everyone involved one at a time. As they die, no one but the main girl remembers them--they are erased. The movie does build a little tension by creating a strong bong between the brother and sister, so that you almost start to worry a little be for two of the characters. Most of the kids fall into that tired pattern of behaving promiscuously or using drug/alcohol and getting killed right afterwards.
For the most part, I kept watching to see how everything fit together and what the resolution would be, but there was almost no payoff. They all die, and the coma victim awakens, her revenge now complete. For a movie called Forget Me Not, it's pretty interchangeable with most films of its genre.
