Introduction

The long-awaited sequel to the No. 1 horror movie hit of 2022!

This ultra-thrilling loop-style horror film, depicting overwhelming terror, will transform theaters into a theme park of death this fall!

Warner Bros., the studio behind the “IT” series, presents the return of “scream-inducing horror entertainment”! No matter how many times you die, you keep getting killed. It starts at midnight—if the “Red Person” finds you, it's over.

Debuting in 2011, Re/Member, written by Welzard,quickly became the No. 1 web novel on the mobile platform Everystar. In 2014, the manga adaptation by Katsutoshi Murase began serialization in Shueisha's manga app “Shonen Jump+”, becoming the first work on the service to surpass 100 million views. Sales of the series' print and digital editions have surpassed 4 million copies. Re/Member is a phenomenon that has captured the hearts of teens and young adults.

The live-action film adaptation, starring Kanna Hashimoto, premiered on Friday, October 14, 2022. Fueled by word-of-mouth buzz centered around teens and twenties, RE/MEMBER achieved box office earnings of ¥1.18 billion, becoming the highest-grossing horror film released in Japan that year. In the national weekend box office rankings, it topped the domestic live-action film attendance charts for five consecutive weeks and ranked 10th in domestic live-action film box office for 2022. RE/MEMBER was also released internationally on Netflix in 2023.

RE/MEMBER: THE LAST NIGHT picks up after the events of the first film. Right after completing the deadly “Body Search” game, Asuka (Kanna Hashimoto) suddenly vanishes before Takahiro’s (Gordon Maeda) eyes. Three years later, five high school students find themselves trapped in another terrifying time loop. There they encounter Takahiro—forever changed, still searching for Asuka.

Can they break the curse and bring her back?
