The Forgotten

I liked this film, about a woman whose lost child has been wiped from the memory of everyone but her. It has all the right pieces of a psychological thriller, with the added elements to keep the plot turning. I think my only complaint is the sense of helplessness it imparts on humanity. I see why the alternative ending was not chosen; at least in the theatrical version the internal strife gives her a small sense of victory.

The Forgotten
2004, 91 minutes, directed by Joseph Ruben
