Plot: When a father and son are forced to squat in an empty London council estate scheduled for demolition, 14-year-old Tommy starts to hear strange noises coming from the boarded-up flat next door… While Tommy struggles to reconnect with his deteriorating father, and glean where his mum might have gone, introverted Tommy makes an unlikely new friend in ballsy, street-smart Carmen. She is everything he isn’t. And together they start to unravel the chilling truth behind the sounds coming through Tommy’s bedroom wall and the bizarre things that Tommy has started seeing. Eventually Tommy & Carmen break in and find the next door flat empty. But the hauntings only escalate and when Mark is injured and taken into hospital, Tommy finds himself alone on the estate. He realises he’s in way over his head. What does the malign force want…? The truth is more terrifying than Tommy could imagine. From the producer of THE BORDERLANDS, a tensely plotted, superbly acted, gritty urban supernatural horror.

Ends up just sleepwalking
Uneventful. ‘The Forgotten’ is a rather dull horror flick.It builds a little bit of tension in parts, but ends up just sleepwalking to a crescendo which concludes before it even gets going; which leads to a somewhat abrupt finish. Elarica Gallacher and Clem Tibber do give solid enough performances, I will say that.
“Don’t you, forget about me, Don’t, don’t, don’t, don’t Don’t you, forget about me.”
Recently seeing the very good Urban Ghost Story (1998-also reviewed) I started looking for another British Horror title. Digging into my pile of DVD’s,I found a movie that I’ve been meaning to watch for ages, but had forgotten.View on the film:
Transferring to cinema after being co -creator of the Hayley Atwell- starring TV mini-series Life of Crime (2013), co-writer (with James Hall) / director Oliver Frampton makes a directing debut which is strongly rooted to the Kitchen Sink British TV plays, via Frampton & cinematographer Eben Bolter sitting in with Tommy (played with a great naturalistic emotional rawness by Clem Tibber) under harsh, limited light, and cramped tracking shots unlocking a claustrophobic atmosphere.
Holding back from ghostly sightings until a final 15 minutes rush of blood to the head, Frampton subtly layers Paul Frith’s whispering score and the slamming of doors/ yelling round the rough block of flats, with an eerie scratching at the walls and patter of feet running across the floor in the next flat, the noises of which dig into Tommy’s anxiety.
Digging into the history of the flat, the screenplay by Hall and Frampton keep the chills grounded to human Horror,via linking the ghostly haunting to childhood neglect, as Tommy’s optimism gets crushed in the crumbling flat that he is squatting in with his abrasive dad, with the only glimmer of hope, being developing a friendship with the also forgotten Carmen.
Keeping the ghostly antics grounded to the forgotten children of neglect, the writers disappointingly undermine all the build-up with frantic twists in the final 15 minutes, which lean on a hilariously large number of coincidences to have all fallen into place at t he same time,as Tommy is left forgotten.
