Review of Happy Death Day

By Clayton Miller

I knew I wanted to a scary movie for Halloween I just was not sure which one. I had seen IT previously and that film already has a review published in The Chief (if you have not read it then go check it out). A few weeks ago I went and saw Happy Death Day and will be doing a short review of that movie now. Be warned there are spoilers to come. Happy Death Day ’ s main character, Tree Gelbman, goes throughout her college day as she normally would. It does not take much to notice how rude she is to everyone around her, her ungratefulness, and lack of manners. At the end of her days she is killed by an unknown murderer and finds herself waking up in her bed just as she did to start the day. She realizes after a few times of this occurring in slightly different ways that this is the same day occurring over and over and over again. She consults Carter Davis, a character she interacts with every day, about how to stop this from happening. In the end she changes her rude and ignorant behavior and finds out who the murderer is and stops her death from happening. I came into this movie expected to be bored because I knew the concept and figured it would be repetitive. Instead, I loved it. It had pace changes, variations each time she woke up, and twists in the plot to make you wonder what was going to happen next. Even though it was not a true horror film in my opinion, it still filled my need for a good Halloween film around this time of year. Without a doubt, I would highly recommend you see it. I rate it a 4 out of 5 stars.
