Forgotten (기억의 밤) (2017)

Two real-life forty-somethings are a Dumb and Dumber pair of teenagers living a very-Brady existence at home with their parents, but after an intriguing first half when you learn that this might not in fact be just a dumb casting choice but part of a sinister thriller with the unlikely family not quite what it seems, things grow very stupid and ultimately your conviction is only strengthened that Netflix is a graveyard of subpar film projects that would otherwise never see the light of day.
