Happy Death Day (2017)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5308322/



Take Phil, the self centered, obnoxious, rude weatherman from Groundshog Day who is a major jerk and change his character into a girl and you have Tree (Teresa):





the self centered, obnoxious rude college co-ed sorority girl in Happy Death Day, who is a major biotch.

Just like Phil, Tree will re-live her day over and over and each time she will have to make some changes in her behavior so the next day will be slightly different from the previous day until she is able to break the deja vu cycle.

The only difference between Phil's day and Tree's day is Tree is getting murdered each time; so not only does she wants to break the cycle, she needs to find out who is the killer that is killing her over and over.

There are a couple of surprises here and the premise is very workable but the writers and director just couldn't bring it all together to make it work as a solid horror film which at times it's almost mocking itself.

The PG-13 rating also impedes this movie to become truly scary and suspenseful because there is only so much you can do and get away with without it bordering on and/or earning an R-rating.

2.75/5
