I don't like horror or the prospect of horror in any movie but this one genuinely was a welcomed surprise. Happy Death Day is that movie you've heard of but you don't know what it's about and you go in to watch it with low expectations. But,guess what? It turned out really good.
Happy Death Day is about a college sorority girl who has to relive the day she got killed by a masked person and that day also happens to be her birthday and put it shortly,Happy Death Day uses the concept of the movie "Groundhog Day" but with more extreme extra miles and I have to give it to them,I'm impressed.
The movie starts of with Lory the main protagonist waking up in dorm room of Carter an awkward guy who she assumes she had sex with since she can't really remember what happened the night before because she was hung over. After a very awkward back and forth,she leaves his room and heads home to the sorority house. While she goes there,the movie shows how much of a "bitch" she is by showing her impolitely interact with people.
Basically she's a real jerk,she's pretty and funny but she's still a jerk who kind of looks like a mixture between Blake Lively and Melissa Benoit(to do those who've seen the film,what do you think?...also,carter kinda looks like Cole Sprouse).
That night,she heads off for a party and comes in contact in mysterious masked person and she keeps on going to the party and then she reencounters the person and gets brutally murdered and then she wakes up the same way she did that day,in Carter's room and she experiences the same things happen to her exactly the same way. Initially she thinks it's Deja Vu but then she gets killed again so she has to find away to you know,stop dying and also know who her killer is while trying to correct all her various mistakes.
That's all I will say about the film because not everybody has seen it and it's really good,it even has a shocking twist at the end. This movie on paper sounds very scary and depressing but it actually turned out to be very fun and refreshing. It's concept isn't exactly original but the way that it's executed is really new and the actors here are new(at least to me) and very good. Especially the people who play Lory and Carter so you should go check it out if you want;
•A straight forward story
•good characters
•a couple of jump scares
•good comedy
•And,a big twist at the end of it all
NB: something isn't explained here and it might be underwhelming for you if you were anticipating a mystical twist. I just wanted to say that before hand.
Happy Death Day is a good watch and a sign that I should have watched more movies in 2017. I'm off to watch Martin Scorsese's "Mother" and I'll be sure to post a review on that when am done. Go See Happy Death Day and you'll be entertained like I was!!!!.
