typical Japanese folktale ghost stories.

We all must have heard of told ghost stories during those sleepover nights with friends. This movie exactly fits into those ghost stories, inspired by Japanese folktales written nicely with a time loop. RE/MEMBER is the authentic, spine-chilling tale of Asuka's escape from a fatal time loop is well presented, exceptionally gory, with a heartwarming blooming friendship.

The movie was amazing for the first half when we had the red ghost chasing the students. But it got funny students are killed in a gory way but its just long shots and not scary with somber music. Apparently, students were more chill and enjoying their new friendship rather than scared to die a horrible bloody death. None of them was hysterical, if I would be there I would shout and scream a few times before going calm and thinking straight. Those guys should be applauded for not being traumatised for facing brutal deaths.

Lastly the ending credit scene theory
The missing child photo changes to Asuka, who is actually the female lead and survives until the last most of the nights. And the story is written from her POV, she also peeps into the well where she hallucinates about seeing bloody hands. So I went over to the start and there were Russian news articles of many missing children along with a body search summation. While people who participated did interviews or whatever they somehow went missing.
And the credit said “And then they become a substitute for her, becoming her sacrifice. And then they disappeared without a trace.” so I think Asuka might be the next target.
Also, a newspaper photo is of child Asuka and once Asuka said she kind of missed a swimming meet and nobody talked to her when she returned back, that was in freshman year. So it would be like taking her back to a time when she was a kid to create another time loop.
But for now, she is alive and well, maybe got a boyfriend, not stressing my mind over that she died.

Also she may be dead, but her soul hasn't disappeared, so she lingers in the school and helps out her classmates to find her own dismembered body. When she becomes whole and free from the time loop she is being visible to others.
