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 margin-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. |
