Impressive cast and clever premise but poorly executed; there are just too many holes. A nice twist at the end and Billy Zane's performance is very good.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

Wednesday, October 9. 2013 (2007) Memory MYSTERY THRILLER Despite the happy ending, it's hard to recommend a movie for being incomplete. There's a reason why authors shouldn't be allowed to adapt their own books into movies for this is a prime example about what can happened to a premise that could've been interesting. The movie stars Billy Zane as Taylor Briggs who has just infected himself with some red powder but it's really red sand. And he's also an expert on Alzheimer's because of his mother since he figures that it's hereditary. As a result of touching some red sand, he starts to somehow relive on a hallucination involving an abduction of a little girl during the year he was born which was back in 1971. And as a result of frequent dreams like it, he then asks his friend who's a neurologist for his help since he suspects that theirs a connection. Now, the revelations as well as the ideas are intriguing but the payoff is bland leaving viewers with more questions than it gets any answers such as how much involvement is the Dennis Hopper character. And what about the Billy Zane's character's health since it's labelled as toxic. Since when do hospitals discard toxic sand into garbage cans. You know if this film was remade again, I would go and watch it since all it needs is a lot of patching up, but for now we are stuck with this mediocre effort. 2 out of 4 stars

You may be InZane if you dare to watch this Billy Zane film, but it isn't entirely awful with some memorable scenes of living as his ancestors.

The casting is very questionable and the acting is sub par; everyone is completely out of character and the movie itself is long , boring and anticlimactic. If this is the best Billy Zane can offer perhaps he should plan another trip aboard the RMS Titanic.

Starts off like an old tales from the crypt tale, but just drags and drags with terrible acting and dialogue until you finally get to the mediocre but somewhat satisfying ending.

Variety

Considerably better -- and far more intriguing -- than most entry-level horror pics, marrying a retro B-movie setup with the ghostly obsessions of recent Asian extreme cinema.

Newark Star-Ledger

The movie draws upon so many influences -- stylized Hitchcock suspense, surreal Asian horror and the Gothic romance of Britain's Hammer Studios -- it's easier to follow the reference points than the plot.

Rated: 2/4

Filled with labored exposition, stilted line readings and the most unconvincing romantic hookup since Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley.

It doesn't remotely reinvent the wheel, but it's got its own identity, the filmmakers actually care about their storytelling and it is ultimately both sincerely creepy and reasonably enjoyable.
