kay c A different twist on your normal slasher movies. Im a chessy horror fanatic and this one I cant get enough of. Glad it is on the big screen again. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/18/22 Full Review Atul D A Slasher With a Time-Loop Twist That Actually Works Happy Death Day takes the classic time-loop concept and spins it into a playful slasher that doesn’t take itself too seriously — and that’s exactly why it works. While it borrows the central gimmick of reliving the same day over and over, it doesn’t get bogged down by the science of it. Instead, it leans into the simplicity, focusing on suspense, character, and a surprisingly effective murder mystery. Jessica Rothe’s performance as Tree is what anchors the film. She starts off unlikable, but her arc is one of the more satisfying elements as she learns, adapts, and ultimately fights back. Rothe handles both the comedy and horror beats with the kind of energy that makes her easy to root for, and she genuinely carries the film from start to finish. The horror and comedy blend surprisingly well — one never overpowers the other. It manages to have fun with itself while still maintaining tension in key scenes. The scares aren’t too intense, making it an accessible entry point for those new to the genre, but it still holds enough intrigue to keep seasoned horror fans engaged. As for the central mystery, the “whodunit” aspect is crafted better than expected. It’s not immediately obvious who the killer is, and that makes the loop genuinely engaging. The eventual reveal, while not mind-blowing, still lands with mild satisfaction — enough to not feel like a letdown. Overall, Happy Death Day is a fun, rewatchable ride that makes the most of its concept. It’s smartly paced, never overstays its welcome, and feels like a horror flick made for a wide audience — fans of slashers, time loops, or anyone just looking for a good popcorn mystery. A one-time watch that could easily turn into a guilty-pleasure rewatch.

Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/08/25 Full Review Daniel M Directed by Christopher Landon, Happy Death Day is a film that mixes horror, comedy, and science fiction, starring Jessica Rothe. The story follows Tree Gelbman, a selfish college student who is murdered on her birthday — and mysteriously wakes up reliving the same day over and over, until she can figure out who her killer is. The plot is reminiscent of the classic Groundhog Day, but with a suspenseful and darkly humorous twist. Even with the repeating-day concept, the film keeps things interesting through creative variations and real character development. Jessica Rothe stands out with a charismatic and expressive performance. The direction leans into classic horror elements where a masked killer hunts down characters one by one. This includes sudden jump scares, characters making bad decisions, and a villain who just won’t stay down. What makes the film engaging is how it plays with these tropes in a fun and lighthearted way, making it enjoyable even for those who aren’t fans of intense horror. The soundtrack matches the tone well and builds tension when needed. Despite occasionally shifting awkwardly between horror and comedy, the film is a pleasant surprise. It’s a great pick for anyone looking for a suspenseful movie with a creative, different, and entertaining approach. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/30/25 Full Review Carlos Antonio M Una película que no busca ser aterradora, más bien, busca ser entretenida y envolvente, algo que logra bastante bien. Jessica Rothe está increíble en su papel. Y a pesar de ser una película de bucle temporal no se siente repetitiva y cada escena aporta algo para uno como espectador meterte en la historia tratando de descubrir quién está detrás de la máscara.
