The Forsaken opened April 27th, 2001
Driving cross-country to deliver a vintage Mercedes, Sean (Kerr Smith) does the one thing he wasn’t supposed to do—pick up a hitchhiker. From that moment on, his road trip is transformed into a surreal and terrifying nightmare.
Sean's new companion, Nick (Brendan Fehr), is not the laid back, aimless traveler he seems to be. He is a hunter. And his prey are a roving band of forsaken youths who feed upon hapless victims found in the dead of night—in a word, vampires.
When Sean and Nick pick up the dazed and frightened Megan (Izabella Miko), whom the killers had left for dead, she becomes a human lure for the vampires. The stakes are raised when Sean himself is infected. The only cure for them all is to kill the host organism, Kit (Johnathon Schaech), the vicious leader. It's a deadly race against time to escape the fate of their enemies— joining the ranks of the insatiable undead forever.
