Remember This? is a new feature meant to highlight films that got big releases and then quickly vanished from our collective consciousnesses. In most cases, all involved are probably happy for this but I feel like their shame should be preserved. A rough guide for films appearing in this column is a film must have received a wide release in at least 2000 theatres according to BoxOfficeMojo and have been released during the last calendar year. Bonus points will be awards to franchise movies that get quickly abandoned because of their higher level of difficulty. The Bye Bye Man, a PG-13 horror film dumped into theatres in January was quite obviously destined for complete dismissal by the public but it is warranted? Yes. After watching it I can definitively say nobody else should ever watch this movie.
