Interesting back story with a few drop-off points.

Re/member follows a group of students that ordinarily wouldn't spend time with one another. We are able to see this during the first day. All of the students are aware of one another but don't stand up for each other against bullies. It's interesting how and why fate brings these students together.

One night they all wake up back at the school and are forced into playing a game. At first, they don't understand what is happening and are hunted down by a demon child. These scenes are filled with gore as the students are killed off in many ways. After the students are hunted by the demon child they wake up in bed but the same day is repeated.

Luckily the students are able to find some information online about what is happening and know they need to find the missing body parts of the demon girl to stop the attacks. This means that the night will repeat over and over until they are able to complete the task. During this time these random students become very close friends, they even begin to realise they were all chosen because they were lonely before.

Each night the students come up with a plan to search different parts of the school. Unfortunately, the nights began to lose me a little as they don't seem to try and help one another when being attacked, they only come up with a plan to trap the demon girl near the end. The student often make stupid moves and go their own individual ways.

Eventually, the girl and her teddy become one monster to hunt down the students. This design on this is terrible and made me laugh at parts. This pulled me out of the story. It even develops to the monster eating some of the students but they then are forgotten about by everyone the next day. The student also don't rush to get themselves out of this game and it is a little distracting as it is not how you would act in this situation.

Overall I enjoyed watching this movie, it has some good ideas and features but also some terrible ones too. I think it could have been much more enjoyable if it was explained a little more clearly

6/10.
