You can Forget this one.

Warning: Spoilers
Forgetting the Girl is an indie horror movie that never quit gets off the ground. Honestly, this isn't usually my type of film to begin with, but there are some horror movies I quite enjoy if the story and/ or characters are interesting. But this film didn't really have either. The only reason I watched this movie was because I saw Anna Camp was in it and I love her. However, despite being on the cover and sides of the DVD box, Anna Camp is only in the movie for the first 19 minutes, and then she is never in it again. Instead, the film follows Kevin Wolfe, an awkward photographer who has problems with the ladies. Every time he gets rejected, he has to "forget the Girl," and the audience has to wonder if he has killed them or not as they are never seen again. It quickly becomes clear that he is, in fact, the creepy killer he seems. Now I can take shows with the dark subject matter. I love the Walking Dead, and I thought X 2022 was brilliant. But this movie crosses a line as Kevin convinces the weird Girl that is in love with him to kill herself and take the blame for his murders. Now, while that may sound interesting, its execution just made me feel sick and left me with a weird empty feeling. This is partially due to the fact that I didn't like any of the characters except for Anna Camp's character. I wouldn't recommend this one. But I will give it two stars Because Anna Camp looked terrific and acted great in the three scenes she is in.
