Review of Happy Death Day (2017) by Akshatmahajan — 14 Oct 2020

The concept of Happy Death Day was different and enjoyable. Jessica Rothe as Tree Gelbman and Israel Broussard as Carter Davis are fantastic as the two leads. They have excellent chemistry and make us root for them.

The script is smart, there's horror, there's comedy, there's drama. Happy Death Day takes you in numerous directions, while also making sure you have fun along the way. It even pokes fun at Groundhog Day, which it very clearly took some inspiration from.

I recommend this to anyone who enjoys horror; again, it doesn't redefine the genre and there are definitely an abundance of clichés. With that, though, there are still a handful of clever moments I certainly was not expecting.
