      Film.com

      Horror presented without restraint or apology, as a full-bore, blood-soaked load of nomad nastiness caught in constant forward motion.

      L.A. Weekly

      The film works, cleanly, without any tiresome reliance on computer graphics.

      Variety

      Chalk it up as a middling B-pic that, with a bit more wit and style, could have been at least a cult item.

      TV Guide Magazine

      This flashy fright flick doesn't break any new ground, but puts an attractive gloss on genre conventions.

      The New York Times

      Had it exhibited a modicum of restraint, The Forsaken could have been twice as scary.

      New York Post

      Writer-director J.S. Cardone's low-budget mishmash offers precious little in the way of thrills and chills, much less coherent storytelling.

      Austin Chronicle

      Its ponderous explanations about why there are vampires in Arizona in the new millennium (blah, blah, blah).
