Happy Death Day [DVD]

My daughter loves Groundhog Day type films. Normally I dont like them but this was the exception. Very well done and would love to see more. The sequel was exceptional too.

This is one of those films that you look at the cover, and think this is going to be pretty lame, same old crap. But then you watch it and it knocks your socks off and takes you by total surprise. If you are a true horror fan, and are judging this movie by its cover, buy it, buy it, buy it totally original, and interesting movie to add to your collection I repeat its not what you think. Only true horror fans will get what I just meant by that. This movie actually reminds me of another recent movie, not because its similar in style, not by a long shot, but because of the statement it made when it came out IE THE BEST HORROR FILM OF THE 21ST CENTURY, and then fell flat on its face, what is that movie, oh I can't remember , oh yes DON'T BREATHE. In the cat and mouse style of horror genre, this one however HITS THE MARK, 1. THE MOST ORIGINAL PLOT I HAVE SEEN IN YEARS, IN FACT THIS IS A FIRST OF ITS KIND. 2. KEEPS YOU ON THE EDGE OF YOUR SEAT AND THE SCARES AND QUESTIONS AND PLOT TWISTS COME A MILE A MINUTE. 3. THE MOST ORIGINAL CAT AND MOUSE HORROR STORY IN YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's all I am going to say, to good of a movie to give anything away. For the true fans out there and to pay homage to that other movie I talked about all I can say is don't make a sequel, don't make a new movie, JUST, DON'T BREATHE, HAPPY DEATH DAY. Enjoy

Love it..have watched over and over .love the actors in it and it's hilarious

"Groundhog Day" gets the slasher treatment, and it's just as enjoyable as it sounds. When bitter college student Tree finds herself living the same day over and over, and getting killed by a masked villain each time, she is forced to try and discover their identity and stop them to escape her nightmare. In many ways, the film hits the same story beats as the Bill Murray classic, with Tree eventually having to confront who she really is and finding it in herself to be a better person, but it also puts its own twists on the time loop - notably, that Tree gets weaker each time she dies, leaving her with only a finite number of "lives" to thwart her killer. The killer's identity and motives do a feel a touch too underwhelming - though, that's kinda part of the joke - and for once, I would have liked an explanation for the time loop rather than just the symbolism of her birthday being the day she's stuck in. But honestly, these are nitpicks . . . . overall, "Happy Death Day" is a suspenseful, exciting and even funny horror flick that treats itself just seriously enough to feel genuine while having enough fun to keep things from getting too dark.

Good movie I enjoyed it

Great horror mystery comedy about solving your own murder “Groundhog Day” style.

My son and I are big horror buffs. He's seen most of my favorites before he was 8. He bugged me for like a year to watch this. I kept putting it off because I HATE groundhog's day movies. With a passion. The repetitiveness and predictability drive me nuts. Same with slasher flicks - not a fan. I assumed this movie would be predictable, repetitive, and focus more on gore than plot. I've never been so happy to be so wrong about a movie in my life. I finally caved and very begrudgingly bought this (it was only a couple dollars cheaper to rent) to watch with my son. By 5 or 10 minutes in, my attitude was softening. At least it was fun and there was great banter. Probably by the 30 minute mark I was already in love with the movie. It's not terribly repetitive, the characters are easy to love and the plot was engaging and different. There were a couple minor plot holes that were easily ignored, and overall I was in love. The story is interesting, inventive, and scary enough to call itself a horror with some epic deaths. It was a fun ride with just the perfect amount of comic relief. I was very reluctant at first, but in the end I loved this so much we bought the sequel and watched it the next night. You probably will too!

Happy Death Day is a knockoff of Edge Of Tomorrow and Before I Fall, but at least all these movies have different stories to them. Tree Gelbman (Jessica Rothe) has to relive every day in order to find her killer. The one thing I was really happy about and delighted to see in this movie that was new and not a knockoff was that, every time she died and woke up the next day, her body would be in a little worse shape instead of just reliving every day like Bill Murray in Groundhog Day. I know you might think that I just gave away a big spoiler, but trust me, I didn't. I would suggest this movie, but only as a rental or maybe borrow it from your friend if they have it. It's definitely not one you will want to watch over and over, but maybe once or twice a year if you're a true movie lover. I hope my review helped you decide on what to do as far as watching it goes.

Nunca había comprado nada internacional, y para ser la primera vez, todo muy rápido y seguro. Eso sí me hubiera gustado que trajera el slipcover, supongo que no lo contiene porque la pelicula ya tiene un tiempo desde que salió.

Ich hatte diesen Film für meinen Sohn gekauft ,er wollte ihn unbedingt haben. Am Ende war er total überrascht wie gut der Film aufgebaut war. Bei ihm totale Begeisterung. Ich schaute mir den Film mit an ,halte sonst nicht so viel von solchen Filmen,wo sich alles mehrmals wiederholt. Aber bei diesem Film war es wirklich gut gemacht. Spannend,spritzig,gute Unterhaltung,schließe mich Sohnemann an.

Good film

Tree is a self-centred college student who is forced to relive the day of her death. She believes that only by discovering who killed her, and stop them from succeeding, will she be able to stop the cycle. Obviously another take on the Groundhog Day story, 'Happy Death Day' is aimed at a younger audience and with its good production values, is pretty good entertainment. With this style of story the filmmakers get the opportunity to take a fairly unlikable character and transform them into something entirely different, simply by replaying the same story numerous times. In this case it is done competently with Tree being able to reconcile family differences and develop a love interest as well as investigating her own murder. There are twists in the end which are also nicely realised. The Blu-ray provides a generally clear image with lots of bright colours on display, and the audio excels with lots of effects placed expertly around the viewer, helping to absorb you into the action. A well made production; maybe taking a little too long to get going, but great entertainment. 4.5 stars.

Happy Birthday sag ich nur. Die Idee des Films war sehr gut. Wenn der Geburtstag sich immer wiederholt ist das ja eigentlich gut - wäre da nicht das die Hauptdarstellerin immer wieder stirbt. Ich muss sagen mir tat Sie schon leid. Was ich sehr gut fand ist, dass nicht von Anfang an klar war, wer der Mörder ist. Da hat man wenigstens auch mal mit überlegt. Wer es am Ende wirklich war hat mich doch etwas überrascht. Bei dem Film konnte ich viel lachen und ich dachte mir öfter mal "Mädchen wenn du diesen Tag jetzt auf einmal überlebst dann bist du das Gesprächsthema Nr. 1 auf dem Campus" Super Film der auf jeden Fall zu empfehlen ist.
