Charlotte O'Sullivan London Evening Standard It's hard to dislike a film that has so much fun with the idea that for isolated teens, every day is like Sunday. Rated: 3/5 Apr 4, 2014 Full Review Dee Rudebeck Guardian A good performance from Breslin keeps tension alive, but hope for a really scary and inventive fright dies screaming in the basement. Rated: 3/5 Apr 3, 2014 Full Review Linda Barnard Toronto Star Inspiration seems to come from Groundhog Day, Beetlejuice and even The Shining. Rated: 2/4 Dec 19, 2013 Full Review Patrick Cavanaugh The Wolfman Cometh A film involving ghosts that makes the bold decision to never be creepy, or ever be interesting, no matter what the talents might have been of the cast and crew. Rated: 1/5 Sep 20, 2023 Full Review Jordy Sirkin Jordy Reviews It Where Groundhog Day used it’s same-day-repeats well, this film seems to drag on the actual resolution. Feb 22, 2023 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Never challenging or innovative, and consistent only in its fuzzy supernatural logic, the film is an empty exercise in atmosphere. Rated: 1/4 Aug 22, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Stoner J Definitely worth a watch. It’s hard to describe this type of movie but it’s a blast following Abigail Breslin trying to figure out what’s really going on and how to get out of it. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/16/25 Full Review Michael C This is an exercise by someone who was engaged by too many un-horror movies left over from the 1980's. Trite, disjointed. Even Breslin's good acting can't save what began as an interesting story. After the time loop theme was dropped, so was the story. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 07/10/25 Full Review Maddie L Is it perfect? No. Is it fantastic? No, but I think it's way better than the ratings it's getting, this film is super captivating and in the end it's honestly fairly beautiful. Give it a watch, you'll enjoy it! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/04/25 Full Review Fe Ann Joyce L I finally watched it, it was great. Abigail was good, his brother is cute btw. I like the storyline and how it was deliver. I was enticed watching it upon watching some short clips about a teen stuck in a loop. This one was a good story made in POV of a ghost. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/14/25 Full Review Melissa L A different kind of movie which ending's bittersweet. I recommend it! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/23/24 Full Review Oren B Pretty good! An interesting take on... well, I don't want to spoil... More than worth your time! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/24 Full Review Read all reviews
