Thoughts on Happy Death Day

Happy Death Day is a movie that relies on it’s gimmick. This gimmick is basically making Groundhog Day into a horror film. The characters are unlikable for the most part but as the story progresses it gets better and the protagonist becomes less of a caricature of a vapid sorority girl. It has some stupid moments and some cheesy moments but it still has enough charm to be interesting and one of the better horror movies to come out from Blumhouse productions. It is an interesting rental at the very least. At least it is very self-aware of it’s concept.
