Happy Death Day centres around a young woman with the ridiculous name of Tree. Yes, Tree. Like that this which grows in your garden. Portrayed by Jessica Rothe, it’s Groundhog Day for her as she wakes up on her birthday, only to be murdered… over and over again, and this will happen until she susses out the culprit and stops them.
In a movie world where there’s so many horror films that always look to be full of cliches, this actually looks bloody* good, and could even start a new series of films like the Final Destination series.
(*pun not intended)
Happy Death Day is released in the US on Friday 13th October… although, for the time being at least, it’s scheduled by a dumbass studio for the following Friday. Friday 13th makes sense!!! GAH!!
