Forget Me Not Graveyard Game
Rules of the Game: "1 person is the ghost and everyone else hides, once you're caught, you turn into a ghost...last one alive wins."
Rhyme: (chanted while holding hands in a circle) "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 - Release the one ignored by Heaven...8, 9, 10 - Now run and hide or join her at the Devil's side...11 comes, the clocks will chime, forgotten souls erased by time...Midnight comes, it's not too late, so kill the ghost or seal your fate!"
The game becomes a reality in this original and enjoyable movie. The disappointingly slow start eventually gives way to a story that will keep you hooked and some ghostly demons that will have you reaching for the pillow!
It would be fair to say that this film is an amalgam of Asian horror such as "Ring" and American teenkill flicks like "Final Destination", but the added twist of the dead being "forgotten" by history really makes this story stand out.
The movie moves at a good pace once the action starts and the whole back-story is well explained in flashback. There are a few twists and turns that please even if they are a bit predictable. On the downside, the film suffers from an under-par cast and rushed editing. It would be interesting to see this film re-made with a big budget, some leading names in the cast and a competent hand at the helm (Sam Raimi would be our choice!)
If you want something a little out of the ordinary then give "Forget Me Not" a try!
Scared the shit out of me that's for sure.
ReplyDeleteMe and my friends are going to play this in a graveyard on the last day of school! We're only 13 so it might be scary. AWESOME!!
