A teenage girl, trying to enjoy her birthday, soon realizes that this is her final one. That is, if she can figure out who her killer is. She must relive that day, over and over again, dying in a different way each time. Can she solve her own murder?
The scene where Tree walks through the campus quad naked had to be done quickly; given that it was being filmed on an active college campus, this presented the risk of students witnessing the scene being filmed and/or taking photos. The crew took extreme precautions to clear away any potential onlookers. In the end, they managed to do just 2-3 takes. See more »

During the last day from the loop, how could Tree have the time to get close and so friendly with Carter, after what she just lived earlier in the morning ? Isn't she supposed to spend time with the police for interrogation or/and probably get arrested for murder charge against her room-mate Lori, until the situation and the investigation are clear and Tree exonerated?
Instead, she is free like if nothing was happened. See more »

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
