    • Trivia
      According to director Christopher Landon, Tree Gelbman's punchline, "Who takes their first date to Subway? It's not like you have a foot-long," was improvised by Jessica Rothe.
    • Goofs
      After Tree and Danielle are accidentally run over by a bus, Tree removes her from the suspect list. Since the bus driver was clearly not the murderer, it did not prove that Danielle is not the murderer.
    • Quotes

      Tree Gelbman: Tim, I know you're really not into girls. But it's okay. Love is love. Now go out there and get yourself a fine piece of man-ass!

    • Crazy credits
      The opening Universal logo gets abruptly sucked into oblivion and then restarts, referencing the film's time loop element. This happens twice before the logo finally plays uninterrupted.

    Happy Death Day 7/10 This is the first day of the rest of your life ....
    I had low expectations and I have to say they were totally exceeded .

    This is an enjoyable Romantic Horror with more than a passing reference to GROUNDHOG DAY - and the occasional reminiscing of the 15 year old Shaun of the dead . Plus a bit of Scream , scary movie and a number of other slasher movies .

    Jessica Roshe was brilliant in the starring role , you believe in her character , her charm was endearing and despite the 10 years between her character and actual age she played the combination of innocent romantic with a touch a modern feisty independent female in control of her own destiny .

    The only poor point was how the inevitable twist was handled - that could have been slightly better but definitely worth seeing .

    Pad.A 7/10

    FAQ2

    • How could Tree get Carter's reference to Janis Joplin, but not to Groundhog Day or Bill Murray?
