clarisd Seems they listen to Coast to Coast am. All the subjects, such as genetic memories,sitting with the dead, powders used for trances, serial killers, strange family connections. The customers of tribes that still live in south America. Well all of this and more is covered by C2Cam. I felt the tensions created, but I did guess that a woman was the killer. I also wondered if the artist was the child that escaped. Others have given this a bad review. I would ask them to research some of the actual work on many of the subjects raised in the film. I enjoyed the film. It was not rushed, the timing was good and the problem I had is the advert breaks, they came at the wrong moments.

MetalGeek I had never heard of "Memory" till I purchased it on a 4-movie "Horror Collector's Set" DVD from the bargain bin. In addition to "Memory," the other three movies on the DVD were Tobe Hooper's "Mortuary," "Wages of Sin" and "Bloody Mary." "Mortuary" wasn't too bad but the other two films were flat-out awful, so by the time I sat down to watch "Memory" I really wasn't expecting much. Imagine my surprise when it turned out to be the best movie on the DVD, even though it certainly isn't what I would consider a "Horror" movie. "Memory" is a fine mystery/suspense thriller along the lines of a James Patterson story (think "Kiss the Girls" or "Along Came A Spider") with some occasional horrific overtones.Billy Zane of "Titanic" stars as Taylor, a researcher for a pharmaceutical company who is accidentally exposed to an unknown drug compound while in Brazil for a convention. When he returns home to Boston, he begins having disturbing flashbacks of a masked person in a black cloak, dark forests, and little girls. Disturbed by these visions, he begins to do some research on the powder he touched and it turns out that Indian tribes in the Amazon have been using it for thousands of years to see other people's memories, through their own eyes. Unfortunately for Taylor, the person whose memories he's now "sharing" happens to be a psycho who's been kidnapping and killing little girls for the past 30 years without being caught. With the help of his artist girlfriend (Tricia Helfer of "Battlestar Galactica") and two family friends (the late great Dennis Hopper and Ann-Margret) he takes it upon himself to unravel the mystery and stop the masked kidnapper before he can claim yet another new victim. As his investigation moves along, it seems that the killer also has a connection to Taylor's past that he has never suspected.Though this was obviously a low budget film (from a first time writer/director) "Memory" is a nice looking film and a tight, fast moving effort. The veteran cast turns in fine performances all around, and the twists and turns of the plot will keep the viewer guessing till its creepy finale in the kidnapper's lair. This is also the coolest set piece in the movie, a cavernous building loaded with scary looking mannequins and bizarre scrawlings on the walls. I thought I had the ending figured out early on but as it turns out, the filmmakers threw me a curve ball that I wasn't expecting. Horror fans will probably be disappointed by this flick (as I said, it really doesn't belong on a "Horror" DVD) but fans of psychological thrillers should be pleased with this little known gem."Memory" can apparently be found cheaply wherever bargain DVDs are sold so I would recommend checking it out. Just a tip, if you happen to buy it on the same "Horror Collector's Set" that I did, skip the other three movies on it and go right to this one.

desipunk80 This is a neat little movie, if you ignore some of the obvious clichés and TV movie pacing. But it is NOT for gore-hounds and ppl turned on by SAW type violence.Given of course that you don't let logic come in the way...as the plot is convoluted and the 'scientific' theories pretty laughable...plus a somewhat predictable ending...plus the movie is longer than judgment day...we dozed off about 5 diff times Glad we stayed till the end tho. Because what this movie has going for it is a return to an older, more conventional serial killer storyline. With good atmospheric buildup, and thankfully minimal gore, so that you could at least think about watching it with family. Don't know about you, but I'm kinda getting sick and tired of all the SAW and HOSTEL ripoffs.Don't expect much from the actors. For those who've tracked their careers, Billy Zane and D Hopper have been collecting paychecks for a while now, and they sleepwalk thru their roles here as well. Oldtimer Ann Margret puts in a decent performance, tho the role hardly requires acting ability.5 out of 10

mumblogger111 Got to see the movie b/c the director use to date my cousin. Even though that relationship didn't turn out well, the movie was still pretty damn good! I'm a big fan of Battlestar Galatica, and Trish Helfer is smoking hot! I'd been a big fan of her's since her Maxim spread, and YOU KNOW I bought last month's playboy too. Only knock is that for some stupid reason, she dies her hair jet black for this movie, but she's still smoking hot! And there's a strip poker scene too! So the movie starts out kind of crazy like a TV medical drama or csi or something. Some kid gets coked up on mysterious amazonian powder, turns him all red and crap, then ends up half dead in a hospital in Brazil. Then freaking Cal from Titanic shows up, Billy Zane, although his character's name is Taylor. So Cal/Taylor/Billy is a medical research dude trying to cure Parkinson's or whatever the name of that disease that kills little old ladies and presidents. He just happens to be in town for a swinging convention of Medical researchers and is an expert on amazonian powders or something. And Taylor's sidekick is the rolling stone publisher guy from Almost Famous (which is a bad ass movie). Terry Chen.So Taylor and his partner take some powder home for testing, but Taylor is a dumb mofo and accidentally gets some on his hands then back at the hotel he has some weird drug trip on the stuff and has a flashback of a serial killer. There's a really cool scene where Taylors' hotel bathroom explodes with water.OK, flash-forward to Six the sex robot; Trish Helfer's character meets Taylor when he goes back to Boston and attends an art show (evidently that's where the hot maxim chicks hang out). Eventually she becomes Taylor's hot sex robot too.Taylor keeps having these drug trips; sees serial killer; and then realizes it could be one of his parents; one of his parents memories; but his mom is in a coma or something and his dad is dead; so he doesn't know which one is a serial killer.Taylor investigates; Trish Six Helfer helps (actually is kind part of the serial killer's life); and in the end it all turns out to be some screwed up twisted discovery about Taylor's true identity. I mean that in a good way; a cool way! So if this flick ever sees a movie screen, I'd definitely recommend it. In fact, my cousin was probably pretty stupid from dumping the director guy b/c he'll probably be pretty rich. (I'm also betting she wrote the bad!bad!bad! review too.)peace... mumblogger111.
