Philip Kemp Sight & Sound Happy Death Day isn't particularly scary, and clearly isn't meant to be - the pleasure lies in the games it plays with its basic storyline, along the way tossing in enough offbeat humour and whodunnit twists to keep us entertained. Nov 9, 2017 Full Review Tara Brady Irish Times If you can't enjoy [Happy Death Day], give up on film. Rated: 4/5 Oct 30, 2017 Full Review Ben Sachs Chicago Reader On another level, Happy Death Day is a low-key celebration of cinema. Landon and Lobdell revel in how their story could only happen in the movies, piling on preposterous complications with self-aware glee. Oct 26, 2017 Full Review Tina Kakadelis Beyond the Cinerama Dome Happy Death Day is a blast, a pure delight. It perfectly straddles the lines between comedy, horror, and romance, somehow juggling all of these genres to create a breezy romp of a movie. It’s a well-deserved addition to the time loop genre. Jul 25, 2023 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies The tongue-in-cheek approach by the filmmakers and their willingness to laugh at themselves makes this a better experience than the corny title would have you believe. Rated: 3.5/5 Aug 21, 2022 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review The inspired hook fails to make the most of its chosen genre. Rated: 2.5/4 Mar 17, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

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 out of 5 stars 09/18/22 Full Review Chris F It tows the line between silly and having some tension. Rothe carries it to enjoyable enough to recommend. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 11/15/24 Full Review Miniver S This was SO FUN to watch. Unique twist on the trapped deja vu premise. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/25/24 Full Review Bryant C Great concept, I loved the character growth . Probably in my top 5 in 2010's slashers. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/24/24 Full Review Guy P HorrorXGroundhog Day, great use of comedy, the movie doesn't take itself seriously and it works in its favor tremendously, and is a blast to watch. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/18/24 Full Review Andrew P It's corny, but it's fun to watch. Sure hope there isn't a sequel that adds nothing to the story. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/17/24 Full Review Read all reviews
