FORGET ME NOT is yet another American version of the Japanese ghost horror sub-genre, particularly keen on ripping off the jerky movements of the spirits in THE GRUDGE and RING. Unfortunately it turns out to be the usual badly written nonsense featuring unlikeable teen high school characters and lots of padded out sexual situations to bore the viewer.
The storyline is a familiar one in which a girl dies during a prank gone wrong. She's brought back to life during a séance, only to bump off her friends one by one. It's the usual vengeful ghost stuff, enlivened only slightly by some gruesome deaths, like when a guy has his arm and face forced into the workings of a machine. Unsurprisingly there's some bad CGI used to animate the ghosts and the whole thing seems overlong and tiresome.
There are some good ideas here, such as a sub-plot which sees the victims of the ghost literally erased from history once they die, but they're mishandled and feel lost amid the usual ghost clichés. FORGET ME NOT? Completely forgettable I'm afraid.
