Happy Death Day
Stream
Rent & Buy
Caught in a bizarre and terrifying time warp, college student Tree finds herself repeatedly reliving the day of her murder, ultimately realizing that she must identify the killer and the reason for her death before her chances of survival run out.
What critics thought
Happy Death Day lands somewhere between a crowd-pleaser and a mixed bag: critics agreed that Jessica Rothe's performance is a genuine highlight, but disagreed on whether the film's mashup of slasher horror, romantic comedy, and campus satire actually coheres. The genre-blending ambition drew both admiration and skepticism, with many noting that the Groundhog Day-meets-slasher premise is more fun in concept than in execution.
“fun, if silly, blending of genre tropes ... ends up being a double-edged sword”
