Happy Death Day plot

"Get up. Live your day. Get killed. Again."

Theresa 'Tree' Gelbman is a college student who has the worst birthday ever: she is murdered at the end of the day. It's a day she relives over and over again, from the mundane details to the deadly end she has to go through every day. To break the cycle, she will have to find out who the killer is and why he is after her.

Nice. Poster and title didn't exactly grab my attention, I thought it would be another run of the mill horror. But this has turned out to be a pleasant and inventive work that looks nice. It doesn't run on scares or gore and that seems almost a rarity among teenage horrors these days. The power is in the lead actress and in the fine script. It is not a unique masterpiece, but this film mixes various elements and genres in such a creative way that the whole feels very fresh. They should be able to make more that way.

Besides the Groundhog Day mentioned in the film, it is mainly reminiscent of Before I Fall (2017), which almost tells the same story (a student who always dies at the end of the same day) but without a murderer. Triangle (2009) also came to mind. And as a horror comedy, it reminded me in terms of freshness of the equally fun The Final Girls (2015).

The only downside to Happy Death Day was the denouement, the killer and his motives are not exactly worked out and therefore do not know how to convince. If they had done that well, it could have just gotten the 4*. Now it stays at 3.5*.

Just 5 stars as far as I'm concerned. this movie is totally my thing. give me more of this genre.

I liked the stoneware.

my favorite in such films remains Edge of Tommorow but this one is also very good. if someone gives this a low score then we certainly don't have the same taste in movies.
