30 years ago an 8 year old girl was brutally murdered by a serial killer and dismembered, her body parts were never found. In the current period, 6 teens are caught in a time loop where they go through the same day while have the same dream in the night. Only thing is in their dream, they are attacked and killed by a demonic girl. Their task to get out of this loop is to find all the body parts of the dead girl before they are killed off permanently.
A premise like this could've worked better considering a solid demon (the one without eyes was perfect while the transformed creature was terrifying too) was wrecking havoc. But sadly, the film begins haphazardly and doesn't even spend time introducing / establishing the 6 teens characters. None of them had any unique personality, a decent backstory and absolute no reason why anybody should back them up. It felt superficial everytime the day got reset because I could hardly care for any of them dying or even surviving.
Even the drama that unfolds where these 6 teens, classmates but not friends get together to be a team, even friends and how they form a bond had zero emotions due to lack of decent characterization. The attacks and kills were good, the scary moments too but it soon became repetitive. Also the teens kept finding the body parts very easily, which again was too bland. There's a librarian who is also supposed to be a survivor of this game from the past but that is just passed off as an information. The film has several of such glaring flaws which completely underwhelm the horror parts.
Re/Member was more like I couldn't care any lesser. Easily a forgettable film.
