Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

A cast of familiar and likable faces, as well as an early starring role for Battlestar Galactica's Tricia Helfer, brings star power to the medical/serial killer thriller Memory. Billy Zane is top-billed as a researcher who discovers that he's been dosed with a South American powder that causes one to relive the memories of their parents; said memories include visions of a masked figure abducting young girls and making plaster casts of their faces before killing them. Ann-Margret and Dennis Hopper are family friends with a long-buried secret, and Helfer is an artist with whom Zane becomes romantically involved. Written and directed by Bennett Davlin (who also wrote the novel on which the film is based), Memory is slick and professionally made, but lacks any real surprise (or more importantly, suspense) in its story or execution; the cast is equally game for the offbeat premise, but can do little with the well-worn material they've been given. The DVD includes interviews with the cast and crew, as well as outtakes and a making-of featurette. --Paul Gaita

5.0 out of 5 stars A sleek psychological thriller in the tradition of Alfred Hitchcock, June 28, 2007

By	Madelyn Pryor "Goblyn Queen" (Mesa, AZ United States) - See all my reviews

Memory is a sleek thriller that starts off slow and quickly builds into a cascading tide of action. It's very much in the style of Alfred Hitchcock and is one of my favorite movies out this year.

Roughly, the plot is that a memory researcher is exposed to an unknown substance that causes him to start experiencing memories that happened before he was born. He sees a masked figure in a Burberry coat chasing through the woods. At first he thinks he's going insane, but when he realizes the masked figure could be a serial killer, he must do whatever is necessary to bring the decades old nightmare to an end. I can't say much more without giving spoilers :>

The main review on Amazon says there are little in the way of surprises. I disagree. There ARE twists and turns in the plot, and even in the ending. I normally can see where these movies are going, and this one managed to surprise me.

I absolutely loved this movie. Billy Zane is a strong, dramatic actor and his performance is a pleasure to watch. I also appreciated the lack of gore and nudity in the film. Lately, too many sloppy productions have attempted to mask their short comings with excessive gore or gratuitous nudity, but with few shortcomings, this movie has little to mask.

If you're a fan of Hitchcock mystery thrillers or in the mood for a psychological thriller, please give this movie a shot.

Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ann Margret is still somethingto watch!, July 1, 2007

By	Dr. L "Best In Manhattan!" (New York City, NY United States) - See all my reviews

I waited so long to see this film, finally it opened here in New York City and I rushed to see it! Had a hard time at first following the plot, but slowly it all came together, especially after veteran actress Ann- Margret comes on screen as Carol Hargrave. I have never seen Ann Margret in this type of role and she really does a great job! REally love the film, the DVD has some great extras for aspiring film makers too!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good action, suspense, July 9, 2007

By	Brian Kennedy (Tampa, FL USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Memory (Video On Demand)

Well, first of all, I have to say what a great looking lead. Billy Zane (Titanic) looks great in this one. The story is one that takes your interest right away. The ending sums it all up in about five minutes but the rest of the time you're trying to figure out who-done-it. Yeah, one of those movies.
