Variety

The Forgotten / Reviews
The Washington Post
It's really weird. Has its share of visceral surprises. Slightly predictable and dumb when all is said and done.
Full reviewTV Guide
Director Joseph Ruben's best efforts can't keep Gerald Di Pego's puzzle-picture script from toppling into absurdity as it lurches from melodrama to psychological thriller with supernatural overtones to full-blown exercise in X-Files-style nuttiness.

Roger Ebert
The Forgotten is not a good movie, but at least it supplies a credible victim (Moore).
