Forgotten Evil (2017 TV Movie)
8/10
"Who Am I?" - A Good Amnesia Film
26 March 2020
Warning: Spoilers
A young woman escapes death by drowning after she is tossed in the sea in a sack. When she recovers from a coma in the hospital six months later, she has a case of amnesia. The drama that unfolds is the recovery of her memory as she races against the clock to survive her tormentor.

There are two suspicious characters, including a creepy psychiatrist, Dr. Michaels, who always wears a scowl and a bubbly young man named Randy Dumas, who is perpetually smiling. Both of them seem like menacing figures.

The young Jane Doe assumes the name of Renée, which will be a prominent clue in discovering her true identity. She has a loyal friend in the nurse Mariah McKee, who is devoted to her recovery and invites her to live in her home. The two characters form a bond around the mantra of "survivors stick together!"

There was an extremely confusing moment in the film, wherein Mariah picks up an important clue to Renée's past. While driving, she apparently accidentally comes across an abandoned vehicle where she discovers in the glove compartment the name of Renée's brother. But it was never made clear how she discovered the vehicle of the private investigator that she never met or how the files from on Renée's psychiatrist came into her possession. This was too big of a loose plot strand.

"Forgotten Evil" successfully delivers its theme of the generosity of Mariah and the heartfelt connection of the two women survivors. It is never fun to feel completely alone in the world, and the film developed an uplifting message about human kindness.
