Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Based on the best-selling novel by Bennett Davlin currently on book shelves nationwide; Bonus Features: The Making of Memory, Outtakes, Director's Commentary, Interviews with Cast and Crew

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

- Great movie, great price
First of all I want to thank Amazon for this review
process, and the people who give them. I selected this
movie based on description and reviews. We have a good
story, great acting, a plot that will have you guessing
until the end. Good filmaking without spending a huge
sum of money, just old fashioned talent.

- Memorable...
Dr. Taylor Briggs (Dead Calm's Billy Zane) is in Brazil for a conference on Alzheimer's disease. He is called upon to consult on an unusual case involving a man covered in a strange orange powder. Briggs is accidentally contaminated by this substance (which he later finds out is only used in ancient tribal rituals). This results in what appear to be blackouts and hallucinations. As the days pass, Briggs realizes that these experiences are actually 30 year old memories from someone else's life! Not just any memories, but those of a serial killer! Briggs becomes obsessed w/ finding out the truth behind these visions. MEMORY is a fast-moving tale of mystery and suspense w/ mystical overtones. Zane is believable as Briggs, and Dennis Hopper, Ann-Margret (Magic, Tommy), and Tricia Helfer do admirable jobs, especially Ann-Margret, who adds a nice jolt to this thriller! And yes, she's still beautiful! Remember to add this ... Read More

- Finally...
Now here is an awesome original gem of a movie. Very well thought out and written, good acting and directing, suspenseful, atmospheric, and a surprise twist at the end that you do not see coming. Five stars!

- Strangely entertaining
When I started watching this movie it didn't look too good--all the previews were grade B trash and that's exactly what I was anticipating during the opening credits. It's surprisingly good, although I'm still not sure I understand the plot in it's entirety.

For instance: why would exposure to some guy's shamanic memory serum all the sudden turn Billy Zane on a specifically personal quest to find out who his real father was? Does the memory serum itself have some kind of good willed soul that steers him in this direction? Why wouldn't it just make him nuts with all sorts of memories at once until it got out of his system?

I really wished Dennis Hopper had turned out to be the maniac; after all, he seems like one anyway, even as the benevolent scientist "would be" father of Zane's character. The hallucinations in this film range from hokey to very, very effective; Ann Margret gives a chillingly ... Read More
