Jessica Rothe (La La Land) plays a sorority sister who, after waking up with a hangover in someone else's dorm room, must relive the same day over and over until she figures out who is trying to kill her and why. From the director of Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse.
Happy Death Day is a weird film. Starting off like a Scream-type slasher, it veers unexpectedly into straight-up comedy early on, complete with a jaunty musical montage of the lead actress getting murdered over and over.
Full reviewThe 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.
Full review"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.

Becoming a decent person requires an awful lot of dying in "Happy Death Day," a snappy horror-comedy with a gentle romantic spine.

It's Groundhog Day meets Scream, although lacking the first film's novelty and the latter's postmodern smarts.

Although 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.
