Thom says: “My friends all know I love horror films even though a high percentage of them are atrocious. This was supposed to be a one-off on my recent trip to New York but despite the GROUNDHOG DAY rip-off HAPPY DEATH DAY has a lot of upside. Production qualities are high, the acting professional, & the film even has a positiveness age. An absolute bitch of a sorority girl relives the same day over& over again which ends with her being brutally murdered in a nasty fashion, & the waking up in a strange boy’s dormitory room. And, oh yes, it’s her birthday. What the film does well, with the help from Rothe’s portrayal of the time-trapped girl, is show how she becomes nicer with each new-lived day as she understands the nastiness she affords others. The film is perky & quick and not too horrific. 4 cats”
