Movie Reviews
Reviews:
"HAPPY DEATH DAY, the story of a woman caught in an endless loop of her own death, uses familiar elements from the horror genre -- and the classic movie GROUNDHOG DAY -- to deliver its scares with wit and a wink." - 10/12/2017 Los Angeles Times
"Becoming a decent person requires an awful lot of dying in HAPPY DEATH DAY, a snappy horror-comedy with a gentle romantic spine." - 10/12/2017 New York Times
"HAPPY DEATH DAY turns out to be goofy good fun....That may sound like a strange way to describe a horror movie, but it’s so self-aware of its influences and trappings that it’s sort of a meta-step beyond the genre." - 10/13/2017 Chicago Sun-Times
"HAPPY DEATH DAY is directed with vim, vigor, and heart by Christopher Landon, and boasts a winning central performance from Rothe." Grade: B+ - 10/13/2017 Entertainment Weekly
"[T]he movie is a horror-thriller time maze that’s just structurally varied enough to get lost in. It’s a slasher film with one victim elevated to a next-level video game." - 10/11/2017 Variety
3 stars out of 5 -- "[A] joyous, punchy throwback to the teen slasher movies of the 1990s and early 2000s." - 10/22/2017 The Guardian
