Director Christopher Landon’s Happy Death Day is an
unexpected funfest. It’s one of the few
horror/thrillers that can please even non-fans of the genre.
And, while giving a nod to Landon and Screenwriter Scott
Lobdell, the film succeeds mostly because of Jessica Rothe, who plays the
principal role of a college student, who relives the day of her death over and over
until she figures out who her assailant is.
The cast members all play their roles, admirably, and,
thankfully, the film does not end with the stereotypical “f*#k you”…where the
monster/killer revives just before the credits…of most every film in this
genre.
I’m happy to give Happy Death Day a 4.1 out of 5.
