Netflix will soon be releasing a Japanese movie based on the manga ‘Karada Sagashi‘. It will be a teen horror movie and will have its premiere on the 14th of February this year.
The movie is titled ‘Re/member’ and is also called ‘Karada Sagashi’ after the name of the manga. The manga has a huge storyline spreading across 17 volumes. The first issue came in 2015 and the last one came in December 2017.
Re/member is a bloody tale of supernatural horror where friends Asuka, Takahiro and four other high schoolers are trapped in an endless loop where they are killed again and again by a ‘Red Person’ and are living the same terrible day over and over. They have to find the pieces of a dead body that are hidden throughout the school in order to break a spell and to come out of the day. The music of the film is pretty good and it has some pretty good visuals. The VFX is done pretty well and it looks good.
The movie actually had its theatrical premiere some time ago during October last year. The is directed by filmmaker Eiichirô Hasumi and stars actors like Kanna Hashimoto, Gordon Maeda, Maika Yamamoto, Fûju Kamio, Kotaro Daigo, Mayuu Yokota, Shuntaro Yanagi, Naomi Nishida and Tasuku Emoto.
The trailer looks good and the film had a pretty good response from audiences during its limited theatrical release in Japan. If you are a fan of Japanese movies and of horror, now is your turn to witness a wonderful movie. It will be premiering to Netflix on the 14th of February.
