The Forgotten Ones (2009 Video)
4/10
Stupid people do stupid things
8 May 2009
Warning: Spoilers
A bunch of pretty, but stupid, people set sail on a ship. First the main character's stupid boyfriend doesn't pay attention to her when she warns him that the ship is on the wrong course. Then we find out he's cheating on her. Then they crash land on an island in the middle of nowhere. Then he proposes to her. Then she stupidly says yes. Then a bunch of people die. Then she outwits the creatures that killed all her stupid friends but since there's nothing left she decides to inflate the escape raft that survived the shipwreck, not pack any provisions and paddle aimlessly out to sea, probably to die.

I understand why this film was not deemed good enough to see the light of day in the US - there is no real meat to the plot. Except all the pretty, stupid people, who are eaten by "the forgotten ones", whose history is never adequately revealed. And that could have made for an okay exposition, but instead we get a bunch of crude humor, which includes the main character's pants getting ripped off by one of the creatures, leaving her with only bikini bottoms in which to run Baywatch-like across the beach to her ultimate death sentence.
