Karada Sagashi plot
"Find the body."
Asuka Morisaki's typical college life changes when she sees the ghost of the girl Haruka. She wants Asuka to find her body. In the middle of the night, Asuka starts searching the school, along with her childhood friend and four other classmates. However, they have no idea that there is a girl covered in blood who wants to kill them. When this red person kills someone, she splits the body into eight pieces. The same goes for Haruka, which makes the quest more difficult. If Asuka doesn't find the body pieces soon, the day will repeat itself and she and her friends will continue to die.

No idea if this is really meant as a parody of the Ringu films, but in 'Re/Member' (2022), the girl from the pit takes diabolical pleasure in slaughtering teenagers. The same victims over and over again, because nowadays everyone is in a time loop. This so-called 'Red Person' is particularly contagious due to her affable smiles, hysterical cackling and beastly murderous drive. All the funnier because she stays so girly all the time because of her petite body and the teddy bear she carries with her everywhere. Not that the plot of 'Re/Member' (2021) makes any sense. Ultimately, the umpteenth Alice in Borderland/Squid Game in which characters have to save their bodies when they end up in a game setting. Here they even lack urgency because they still get the chance to take on the challenge with the murder girl again and again. At a certain point it becomes so generous that they discover the power of friendship as they thoroughly enjoy the moments when they are not yet being pursued. Thankfully, "Red Person" never disappoints when she resurfaces.

Regularly spectacular but also somewhat changeable tone within a film that is not that bad at all. Normally I really dislike a Japanese film because of a large amount of overacting. Not that the characters behave so normally in Re/Member, but luckily I didn't like it that bad. Director Hasumi mainly benefits from a surplus of events. For example, the thing with the time loop is quite well thought out and the film goes quite far in terms of bloody scenes, although I would have liked them to be three times as graphic. The appearance of the Red Person is disappointing. It actually escapes me a bit what people see in (literally) childish demons, because I also often found these to be lousy in terms of threat. The film also lingers for quite a while on sappy relationship development, which really couldn't be more clichéd and stretches the running time to an unnecessary 102 minutes. The stops fly towards the finale, but Hasumi fails to create an intense or exciting atmosphere, causing the film to remain somewhat stuck in mediocrity. There's enough going on not to get bored, but I can't call it qualitatively strong at all.
