Re/Member (2022) Movie | M-Cinema24
If you're a horror movie fan looking for a new scare, you might want to give Re/Member (Karada Sagashi) a watch. Directed by Eiichirô Hasumi and starring Kanna Hashimoto, Gordon Maeda, and Maika Yamamoto, the film is based on the manga by Katsutoshi Murase and Welzard.

Re/Member follows the story of six students who find themselves stuck in a strange space/time and cursed to relive the same day over and over until they restore balance to the ghost of a murdered child named Sofia. While the film borrows heavily from classic Hollywood horror tropes, it still manages to offer up a few extra twists and turns to keep viewers engaged.
That being said, if you're looking for something truly groundbreaking, Re/Member might not be the film for you. Its lack of originality may leave some viewers feeling disappointed, especially if they're expecting something on par with the novelty of Ringu.
From a technical standpoint, the film is solid, with decent production values considering its moderate budget and co-production between Warner and Netflix. However, there are moments when the scares feel forced or overused, making the film feel more like a horror movie for teens than a truly ambitious horror flick.
Overall, Re/Member is a decent film for those seeking a comfortable scare that delivers on the classic horror tropes they know and love. If you're a diehard horror fan, you might enjoy the film's nods to other classic horror movies. But if you're looking for something truly innovative or groundbreaking, you might want to look elsewhere.
On a personal note, my husband and I found the film to be a bit lackluster. While the storyline had promise, the execution fell flat. The characters and dialogue were often laughable, and the film failed to build any real tension or trauma. By the end, we found ourselves indifferent to the fate of the characters, due in part to their lack of development and the illogical decisions they made throughout the film. All in all, we'd give Re/Member a pass.
