Vulture
pressThe movie is no big deal, but its Groundhog Day conceit is kind of irresistible, and the genre blend seems right for this age of women seeking stability and empowerment.
Variety
press"Happy Death Day" is "Groundhog Day" dipped in blood, and if the movie isn't all that clever, it's just clever enough to get by.
The New York Times
pressBecoming a decent person requires an awful lot of dying in "Happy Death Day," a snappy horror-comedy with a gentle romantic spine.
The Guardian
pressIt's Groundhog Day meets Scream, although lacking the first film's novelty and the latter's postmodern smarts.
Stuff
pressFar more entertaining and original than the title and the marketing are really hinting at. Nice job all round.
Screen Daily
pressIn a genre filled with countless tales of unhinged killers stalking and slaying pretty young things, part of Happy Death Day's appeal stems from both leaning into and playing with the usual tropes.
Hollywood Reporter
pressAlthough concentrating on delivering easily digestible situations and scene progressions, Landon does demonstrate some enticing visual flair that gets rather diminished by the repetitiveness of the plot.
