User Reviews
Film contains many teen slasher tropes but transcends them with an inventive script & dark humour.
Happy Death Day: A student keeps reliving the same day which ends with her being murdered by a masked killer. At the first re-iteration of the day she is puzzled, the next time she is shocked but by the third raw panic sets in. The day rests anew each time as she wakes in the dorm room of she has crashed in. Eventually she enlists his help in an attempt to identify her murderer. Many red herrings are caught.
While this film contains many of the teen slasher tropes it transcends them with an inventive script and wonderful dark humour. 8/10.
