‘Re\/Member’ is a new japanese horror movie released in<\/strong> Netflix based on Welzard’s ‘Karada sagashi’ manga, a live action that does not follow the current trend of turning the source into a series or two movies, but works, at least for now, as a uniform story. Although Asian horror cinema has been regaining popularity in recent years, this has not been enough for a renaissance of horror films in Japan.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Indonesian cinema with Joko Anwar and Timo Tjahjanto is leading a new movement that also includes the Philippines, even Taiwan, which has started strong with ‘Hex’; South Korea is not like 10 years ago, but it still offers good movies, but strangely enough, Japan has not been very successful these years,<\/strong> despite the fact that that country had become synonymous with the horror genre in the 2000s, with the label J-Horror to define films that even came from other places.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

‘Re\/member’ has not come to change the situation of Japanese cinema, but it is a welcome improvement in a few years in which only the film ‘It Comes’ (2018) has been really remarkable. This film adaptation is the latest iteration of a story that has already been told in a variety of media<\/strong>. It started in 2013 with a series of web toons that became manga, and in 2017 there was a very short anime adaptation, with 10 episodes of 3 minutes each. Now, the fourth version lasts 100 minutes.<\/p>\n

Trapped in time with murders and monster<\/h2>\n

The manga didn’t have anything too new, but it did give uA terrifying alternative to ‘Caught in Time’ relatively unpublished<\/strong>, as the concept was seen in the harrowing ‘Salvage’ (2006) even before the manga, which used the time warp trope where characters have to relive a day over and over again, but with blood. The comparison with ‘Happy Death Day’ in particular is obvious, since in both cases the time loop is caused by violent death, but Blumhouse’s seems more like an exploitation of the manga concept and is much more timid.<\/p>\n

As is often the case, something has to be done to bring the endless day to an end, and here the ambiguous title gives a clue. The film opens with Miko Onoyama, an 8-year-old girl being brutally dismembered by a man. Thirty years later, Asuka (Kanna Hashimoto), a student ignored by others, finds that not making friends is the least of her problems when she begins to experience strange occurrences. She, along with five students from her institute are selected by a dead student who asks them to “find her body”.<\/strong><\/p>\n
