Violence & Scariness
a lot
Lots of violence, blood, gore, and injury detail. Teenagers get killed in many ways. A demonic little girl with no eyes stalks, hunts, chases, and kills teenagers. The girl is covered in blood and can turn her head all the way around. Teens die by being beaten, sliced in half, crushed to death, cut and slashed, impaled by metal rods and large sticks, punched through the mouth (and through the back of the head), forced into sharp fan blades, having their heads smashed against walls, and by being eaten by a very tall and scary monster whose mouth splits open widely in an unnatural way. The monster's head is eventually sliced open with a chainsaw, out of which falls a little girl's decapitated head. The monster is impaled by a large cross. Teens also must find several body parts of a little girl who was murdered many years ago, and they do, including the girl's head. All body parts looked mummified. A "jumper" is referenced, referring to someone who jumps in front of a train to kill themselves. Bloody hands poke out from a large pipe in the ground. A cat is repeatedly run over by a bus. Some kids show bullying behavior toward other students.

Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that Re/Member is a Japanese horror movie about a bunch of high school students trapped in a time loop situation wherein they repeatedly get murdered every night after midnight. Each night, six chosen students find themselves magically at the school chapel, where a coffin is opened to reveal places for all the dismembered body parts of a little girl who was murdered many years prior. Each night repeats itself until they find every hidden body part (somewhere on school grounds) of a little girl's body. All body parts looked mummified. While doing so, they grow as a group, become friends, and become better people because of their ordeal. There's a lot of violence, blood, gore, injury detail, and dying, however. A little demonic girl covered in blood chases, hunts, and kills these teenagers over and over again, and in various ways. Teens are beaten, sliced in half, crushed to death, cut and slashed, impaled by metal rods and large sticks, punched through the mouth (and through the back of the head), forced into sharp fan blades, and eaten by a very tall and scary monster whose mouth splits open widely in an unnatural way. The monster's head is eventually sliced open with a chainsaw, out of which falls a little girl's decapitated head. The monster is impaled by a large cross. A "jumper" is referenced, referring to someone who jumps in front of a train to kill themselves. Bloody hands poke out from a large pipe in the ground. A cat is repeatedly run over by a bus. Strong language includes "s--t," "ass," "hell," and "damn," but all are infrequent. Two teens briefly share a romantic kiss.
