Review of Happy Death Day (2017) by Jluis_001 — 23 Oct 2017

We already know the style, we know its foundations, its cliches and its tricks, Happy Death Day is a slasher teen film in every sense and in a genre so degraded, sometimes it's incredible to be functional, not to say innovative.

Happy Death Day is not the exception at any time, especially because it is focused on entertaining simplistic audiences, I'm sorry but it's true, the film falls heavily on its narrative system and is evident because it becomes an exercise of repetition, it's true it changes the scenarios but everything is so mechanized that there is really no suspense or surprise, it is almost as if we are watching the protagonist in a video game unable to advance a level.

Jessica Rothe, the protagonist is nice, that helps a lot, a more annoying character would have affected the overall performance of the film.

She is expressive and emotive trying to discover her killer, the general point that becomes the best reason to finish this movie, after all as I said the sequences lack suspense so what becomes more important and interesting is to discover the mistery.

Happy Death Day is in every sense a repetition with variations, it does not build anything new but it's sufficiently entertaining and functional to excel over many other failures of the genre and above all it will be very pleasing for its intended audience. The movie delivers good accounts but I wasn't really satisfied.
