A teenage girl, Tree (Jessica Rothe), wakes up in bed with a hangover and can't remember the night before. Nor can she remember the man's name in her room. Today is no ordinary day. Today is Tree's birthday, and soon, she will realise that this is her final day alive. With an unknown killer lurking around her college campus, Tree is murdered by the end of her day, only to awaken the next morning right back to where her day all started. Tree has no choice but to relive the day and her death over and over again, being murdered differently each time. Can she solve who is conducting these theses murders? Or perhaps improve on her day by being a better person or finally dealing with personal matters? While watching Happy Death Day, it was challenging not to connect it to other films that were very similar. For example, Tree's character reminded me so much of the character actress "Rachel Adams" played in Mean Girls and Hot Chicks. At the start of the film, Tree's character is fun and cruel. She is also rude and insults anyone in her way. Plus, she toys with multiple male partners, which also makes the list of possible killers rather large. As for the day repeating itself,… we should all know what film that reminds me of. The consistent mystery and added horror element try to make this film different from others like it. While Happy Death Day did add new elements to the film, it still falls into the traps of common jump scares and horror cliches. Sometimes, these don't work and take too long to play out, taking up too much screen time. How the killer is discovered, or, should I say, how the film reveals the killer, is also not very believable. No matter where Tree ends up in her day, so does our mystery killer. What are the odds? Overall, while Happy Death Day brings elements from other movies, it does manage to add new elements, such as adding the horror genre to its plot and concept. The film's tone feels more aimed at a "teenage" audience, but there's still some brainless popcorn fun to be had, even if you figure out the killer before our lead character does. * This review has been written for Sanity.
