Happy Death Day 4K 2017

It's safe to say that Blumhouse has had a successful year in 2017: the micro-budget films 'Split' and 'Away' were hits, receiving high critical reviews and collecting big money all over the world. 'Happy Death Day' didn't fall behind its counterparts, also receiving a rather warm reception and earning a decent amount of money, and its trailer came out interesting and appealing to watch this film in its entirety, which in my case it definitely achieved.

Well, once again the viewer gets to watch the 'Groundhog Day' of the main character, this time Teresa. This lady with a temper - loose and strong on words, simply put - a typical bitch. On the day of our heroine's birthday, an unknown masked man appears and kills her. And - oh, my God! - Teresa finds herself in a 'time loop' and relives the day over and over again. In parallel with trying to figure out the killer, she rethinks her life and changes internally. A cliché? Yes, definitely. But that's what I like (myself included) - the viewer feels for the character, solving puzzles with him and trying to figure out - why did this happen? And was it an accident?

In this film, all the actors and actresses are new to me, I have not seen them anywhere before. The main star here is, of course, Jessica Roth. She turned out to be a great bitch, showing her emotions authentically. She generally coped with everything, I have no criticism of her, and I think, after this role, she will be invited to other projects. Also, Israel Broussard and Ruby Modine played well, though they were given not so much time.

The movie can be tentatively called the 'horror' genre, it is more of a detective with elements of a thriller and comedy. The latter was not spared by the authors - of course, a lot of scenes with it came out rude, but there were some really funny moments. Also drew attention to the final minutes - out of the mouth of the hero sounded a kind of 'Easterling': obvious in this story, but somewhat unexpected.

Happy Death Day' is a film which does not pretend to enter the golden fund of cinematography, but is in no way boring and worthily continues the 'Groundhog Day' theme.
